When gradient descent is a kernel method
Suppose that we sample a large number N N N of independent random functions f i : R → R f_i \colon \R \to \R f i : R → R from a certain distribution F \Fc F and propose to solve a regression problem by choosing a linear combination f ˉ = ∑ i λ i f i . \bar{f} = \sum_i \lambda_i f_i. f ˉ = i ∑ λ i f i . For…
