Abstract

We investigate the local spectral statistics of the loss surface Hessians of artificial neural networks, where we discover agreement with Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble statistics across several network architectures and datasets. These results shed new light on the applicability of Random Matrix Theory to modelling neural networks and suggest a role for it in the study of loss surfaces in deep learning.
