Query: Doubly infinite residual neural networks: a diffusion process approach   Modern neural networks (NN) featuring a large number of layers (depth) and
units per layer (width) have achieved a remarkable performance across many
domains. While there exists a vast literature on the interplay between
infinitely wide NNs and Gaussian processes, a little is known about analogous
interplays with respect to infinitely deep NNs. NNs with independent and
identically distributed (i.i.d.) initializations exhibit undesirable forward
and backward propagation properties as the number of layers increases. To
overcome these drawbacks, Peluchetti and Favaro (2020) considered
fully-connected residual networks (ResNets) with network's parameters
initialized by means of distributions that shrink as the number of layers
increases, thus establishing an interplay between infinitely deep ResNets and
solutions to stochastic differential equations, i.e. diffusion processes, and
showing that infinitely deep ResNets does not suffer from undesirable
forward-propagation properties. In this paper, we review the results of
Peluchetti and Favaro (2020), extending them to convolutional ResNets, and we
establish analogous backward-propagation results, which directly relate to the
problem of training fully-connected deep ResNets. Then, we investigate the more
general setting of doubly infinite NNs, where both network's width and
network's depth grow unboundedly. We focus on doubly infinite fully-connected
ResNets, for which we consider i.i.d. initializations. Under this setting, we
show that the dynamics of quantities of interest converge, at initialization,
to deterministic limits. This allow us to provide analytical expressions for
inference, both in the case of weakly trained and fully trained ResNets. Our
results highlight a limited expressive power of doubly infinite ResNets when
the unscaled network's parameters are i.i.d. and the residual blocks are
shallow.
