Generalization of Scaled Deep ResNets in the Mean-Field Regime

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

Despite the widespread empirical success of ResNet, the generalization properties of deep ResNet are rarely explored beyond the lazy training regime. In this work, we investigate scaled ResNet in the limit of infinitely deep and wide neural networks, of wh ...

Gibbs sampling the posterior of neural networks

Giovanni Piccioli, Lenka Zdeborová, Emanuele Troiani

In this paper, we study sampling from a posterior derived from a neural network. We propose a new probabilistic model consisting of adding noise at every pre- and post-activation in the network, arguing that the resulting posterior can be sampled using an ...
