This research paper presents an extension to the universal approximation theorem for a wide range of vector-valued neural networks. Building on existing work, the authors demonstrate that neural networks with one hidden layer can approximate continuous functions on compact sets with any desired precision, even when operating on complex and hypercomplex values. The findings support the use of neural networks in various applications, including regression and classification tasks. By introducing the concept of non-degenerate algebra, the paper provides a framework for understanding the universal approximation theorem’s applicability to vector-valued models.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This research paper shows that special kinds of computer programs called neural networks can get really good at learning and making predictions. It says that these networks can approximate any continuous function, which means they can make very accurate guesses about things like how tall someone might be based on their height when they were 10 years old. The researchers are exploring ways to use these networks with special kinds of math called complex numbers and quaternions, which could help them learn even more things. This is important because it could lead to new discoveries in areas like medicine and self-driving cars.
