News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

The paper says more than just that they are GPs, I believe it shows that the NTK (Neural Tangent Kernel https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07572) of a large class of ANN converges at initialization. This NTK allows one to gain insight on the training of NN : speed of convergence, artifacts which can appear (checkerboard patterns can be explained with NTK), generalisation of the NN...

Would be nice to get the same result during training for all these architectures and I believe it will be the next paper of G. Yang and I eager to read it.

For trained wide neural networks, you can have a look at "Neural Tangent Kernel: Convergence and Generalization in Neural Networks" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.07572) where we explain the training of very wide ANN. This sparked a numerous amount of research and in the few last results about training wide ANN you can have a look at: https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08156 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.11955
