  1. Global convergence of neuron birth-death dynamics ICML 2019 Long Beach, CA 13 June 2019 Grant M. Rotskofg, Samy Jelassi, Joan Bruna, and Eric Vanden-Eijnden Center for Data Science, New York University Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University

  2. Synopsis of main results →! Modifjcation of gradient descent (GD) with unbalanced optimal transport ● Parameter birth-death process ● Proof of global convergence ● Rate of convergence scales as →! Based on mean-fjeld perspective on neural networks ● Analysis of deterministic partial difgerential equation (PDE) ● PDE leads to practical, effjcient algorithm →! Experiments show faster convergence relative to GD ● Illustrative examples show efgect of transport / exploration ● Easy to implement with no additional gradient computations ICML 13 Jun 2019

  3. Single hidden layer neural network d -dim input PDE for parameter distribution Distinct from kernel learning / NTK, dynamics leads to feature selection ICML 13 Jun 2019

  4. Non-local mass transport (particle birth-death) Parameters are Total population killed / cloned is fjxed ICML 13 Jun 2019

  5. Theorem [R,J,B,V-E]: global convergence Compare with [Chizat & Bach, 2018] without any restriction on homogeneity for the units ICML 13 Jun 2019
