The remarkable generalization performance of large-scale models has challenged conventional wisdom in statistical learning theory. The study explores predictive properties of overparameterized nonlinear regression within a Bayesian framework, extending adaptive prior methodology considering data’s intrinsic spectral structure. Posterior contraction is established for generalized linear and single-neuron models with Lipschitz continuous activation functions, demonstrating consistent predictions. The proposed method was validated via numerical simulations and a real data application, showing accurate predictions and reliable uncertainty estimates.

Large-scale models are really good at making predictions! But scientists didn’t understand why. Researchers studied how adding too many parameters affects these models’ performance. They developed a new way to do this called the Bayesian approach. This method helps predict things accurately and shows how certain it is about its answers. The team tested this on some fake data and real data, showing it works well!
