| Title | Learning distinctive features helps, provably |
| Abstract | We study the diversity of the features learned by a two-layer neural network trained with the least squares loss. We measure the diversity by the average L2-distance between the hidden-layer features and theoretically investigate how learning non-redundant distinct features affects the performance of the network. To do so, we derive novel generalization bounds depending on feature diversity based on Rademacher complexity for such networks. Our analysis proves that more distinct features at the network’s hidden units within the intermediate layer lead to better generalization. We also show how to extend our results to deeper networks and different losses. |
