A concentration result for multilayer feedforward neural networks

We consider for an arbitrary fixed $ρ$ and for each positive integer $n$ a multilayer feedforward artificial neural network with $ρ$ layers, $n$ neurons in the first layer (the input layer) and only one neuron, the output neuron, in the last layer.

Abstract

We consider for an arbitrary fixed ρ and for each positive integer n a multilayer feedforward artificial neural network with ρ layers, n neurons in the first layer (the input layer) and only one neuron, the output neuron, in the last layer. Very roughly formulated, the main result is that if the distribution of weights of connections from a layer to the next are, for all large n, approximated well by a fixed continuous (but otherwise arbitrary) curve which does not depend on n, and if the values of the n input neurons are independently and identically distributed with a continuous probability density function, then there is a number ψ such that for all \varepsilon > 0 the probability that the value of the output neuron is in [ψ- \varepsilon, ψ+ \varepsilon] tends to 1 as n tends to infinity.
