Title: Theoretical Properties for Neural Networks with Weight Matrices of Low Displacement Rank,
Abstract: Recently low displacement rank (LDR) matrices, or so-called structured
matrices, have been proposed to compress large-scale neural networks. Empirical
results have shown that neural networks with weight matrices of LDR matrices,
referred as LDR neural networks, can achieve significant reduction in space and
computational complexity while retaining high accuracy. We formally study LDR
matrices in deep learning. First, we prove the universal approximation property
of LDR neural networks with a mild condition on the displacement operators. We
then show that the error bounds of LDR neural networks are as efficient as
general neural networks with both single-layer and multiple-layer structure.
Finally, we propose back-propagation based training algorithm for general LDR
neural networks.
