Directional Convergence Analysis under Spherically Symmetric Distribution
We consider the fundamental problem of learning linear predictors (i.e., separable datasets with zero margin) using neural networks with gradient flow or gradient descent. Under the assumption of spherically symmetric data distribution, we show directional convergence guarantees with exact convergence rate for two-layer non-linear networks with only two hidden nodes, and (deep) linear networks. Moreover, our discovery is built on dynamic from the initialization without both initial loss and perfect classification constraint in contrast to previous works. We also point out and study the challenges in further strengthening and generalizing our results.
