The proposed least squares method trains a 2-layer convolutional neural network with quadratic activation functions and a 2-norm loss function, achieving an analytic expression for globally optimal weights. This enables further analysis, such as output sensitivity to input perturbations, crucial for safety-critical systems like aircraft or autonomous vehicles. Compared to previous methods and back-propagation-trained ReLU networks, the proposed method reduces training time with minimal accuracy compromises. The network’s advantages include an analytic input-output equation and successful applications in system identification and GPS position estimation.

This paper helps create a new way to train special kinds of artificial neural networks called quadratic networks. These networks are useful for predicting how things will behave when we change the inputs, which is important for making sure things like airplanes or self-driving cars work safely. The researchers used a special method called least squares to train these networks and showed that it can be faster than other methods while still being accurate enough. This could help us build better systems in the future.
