Abstract
In this paper, a constructive theory is developed for approximating func- tions of one or more variables by superposition of sigmoidal functions. This is done in the uniform norm as well as in the L p norm. Results for the simultaneous approx- imation, with the same order of accuracy, of a function and its derivatives (whenever these exist), are obtained. The relation with neural networks and radial basis func- tions approximations is discussed. Numerical examples are given for the purpose of illustration.

Understanding deep learning requires rethinking generalization

TL;DR: The authors showed that deep neural networks can fit a random labeling of the training data, and that this phenomenon is qualitatively unaffected by explicit regularization, and occurs even if the true images are replaced by completely unstructured random noise.

Controllable Invariance through Adversarial Feature Learning

TL;DR: In this article, the representation learning process is formulated as an adversarial minimax game and the optimal equilibrium of such a game is found to maximize the uncertainty of inferring the detrimental factor given the representation while maximizing the certainty of making task-specific predictions.

Are All Layers Created Equal

TL;DR: This study provides further evidence that mere parameter counting or norm accounting is too coarse in studying generalization of deep models, and flatness or robustness analysis of the models needs to respect the network architectures.

Approximation results for neural network operators activated by sigmoidal functions

TL;DR: This paper studies pointwise and uniform convergence, as well as the order of approximation, for a family of linear positive neural network operators activated by certain sigmoidal functions, and shows that for C(1)-functions, the orders can be generalized to handle multivariate functions as well.

Universal approximation using radial-basis-function networks

TL;DR: It is proved thatRBF networks having one hidden layer are capable of universal approximation, and a certain class of RBF networks with the same smoothing factor in each kernel node is broad enough for universal approximation.

Universal approximation bounds for superpositions of a sigmoidal function

TL;DR: The approximation rate and the parsimony of the parameterization of the networks are shown to be advantageous in high-dimensional settings and the integrated squared approximation error cannot be made smaller than order 1/n/sup 2/d/ uniformly for functions satisfying the same smoothness assumption.
