Transients and asymptotics of natural gradient learning

Abstract

We analyse natural gradient learning in a two-layer feed-forward neural network using a statistical mechanics framework which is appropriate for large input dimension. We find significant improvement over standard gradient descent in both the transient and asymptotic phases of learning.
