In this research paper, the authors explore the relationship between kernel ridge regression (KRR), Gaussian processes (GPs), and highly over-parameterized deep neural networks. They show that the learnability of a target function is directly tied to the eigenvalues of the kernel sampled on the input data distribution. The authors then propose using eigenvalues and eigenfunctions associated with idealized data measures to reveal spectral bias on complex datasets, allowing for bounds on learnability on real-world data.

This paper explains how KRR and GPs can be used to improve deep neural networks. It’s all about understanding what makes some things easier or harder to learn, using special mathematical tools called eigenvalues. The researchers found a way to use these tools to figure out why certain datasets are more or less learnable, and this could help us make better artificial intelligence.
