The Future is Log-Gaussian: ResNets and Their Infinite-Depth-and-Width Limit at Initializationstat.ML
ResNets approximate log-Gaussian at initialization, improving network performance.
problem Understanding the initialization behavior of deep neural networks like ResNets.
method Analyzing ReLU ResNets in the infinite-depth-and-width limit, showing log-Gaussian behavior.
result ResNets at initialization exhibit hypoactivation and interlayer correlations, which are not captured by Gaussian limits.
