This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding the generalization performance of unrolled deep neural networks (DNNs) in signal estimation tasks. Specifically, it develops novel bounds on the generalization error for a class of compound Gaussian networks that have been shown to outperform standard and unfolded DNNs in compressive sensing and tomographic imaging problems. The authors use Dudley’s integral to bound the Rademacher complexity of the network estimates, showing that under realistic conditions the generalization error scales at worst O(n√ln(n)) in signal dimension and O(Network Size)^(3/2) in network size.

This paper helps us understand how deep neural networks can be used to estimate signals. It’s like a special kind of math problem where we want to figure out what a signal looks like based on some noisy data. The authors are trying to make sure that these networks don’t just memorize the training data, but instead learn general patterns that they can apply to new data. They’re using a new type of network called a compound Gaussian network, which has been shown to work well in certain types of imaging problems.
