Universal approximation theorem

In the mathematical theory of artificial neural networks, universal approximation theorems are results that establish the density of an algorithmically generated class of functions within a given function space of interest. Typically, these results concern the approximation capabilities of the feedforward architecture on the space of continuous functions between two Euclidean spaces, and the approximation is with respect to the compact convergence topology. However, there are also a variety of results between non-Euclidean spaces and other commonly used architectures and, more generally, algorithmically generated sets of functions, such as the convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, radial basis-functions, or neural networks with specific properties. Most universal approximation theorems can be parsed into two classes. The first quantifies the approximation capabilities of neural networks with an arbitrary number of artificial neurons ("arbitrary width" case) and the second focuses on the case with an arbitrary number of hidden layers, each containing a limited number of artificial neurons ("arbitrary depth" case). In addition to these two classes, there are also universal approximation theorems for neural networks with bounded number of hidden layers and a limited number of neurons in each layer ("bounded depth and bounded width" case). Universal approximation theorems imply that neural networks can represent a wide variety of interesting functions when given appropriate weights. On the other hand, they typically do not provide a construction for the weights, but merely state that such a construction is possible. (Wikipedia).

Approximating Functions in a Metric Space

Approximations are common in many areas of mathematics from Taylor series to machine learning. In this video, we will define what is meant by a best approximation and prove that a best approximation exists in a metric space. Chapters 0:00 - Examples of Approximation 0:46 - Best Aproximati

Convex Norms and Unique Best Approximations

In this video, we explore what it means for a norm to be convex. In particular we will look at how convex norms lead to unique best approximations. For example, for any continuous function there will be a unique polynomial which gives the best approximation over a given interval. Chapte

The Lp Norm for Vectors and Functions

In this video, we expand on the idea of L1 and L2 norms, introduced in the previous video to the more general Lp norm. We will get explain how the norms are calculated and try to get an intuition of the differences between the different Lp norms. Chapters 0:00 - Introduction 1:15 - Lp No
