Two steps of gradient descent on first-layer weights in linear-width two-layer networks produce a spiked random matrix with floor(alpha2/(1/2-alpha1)) outliers, each a learned direction, and batch reuse allows capturing directions with information exponent exceeding one.

ABGD parametrizes piecewise linear functions as difference of max-affine functions and converges linearly to an epsilon-accurate solution with O(d max(sigma/epsilon,1)^2) samples under sub-Gaussian noise, which is minimax optimal up to logs.

Feature Learning in Linear-Width Two-Layer Networks: Two vs. One Step of Gradient Descent
Two steps of gradient descent on first-layer weights in linear-width two-layer networks produce a spiked random matrix with floor(alpha2/(1/2-alpha1)) outliers, each a learned direction, and batch reuse allows capturing directions with information exponent exceeding one.

Locally Near Optimal Piecewise Linear Regression in High Dimensions via Difference of Max-Affine Functions
ABGD parametrizes piecewise linear functions as difference of max-affine functions and converges linearly to an epsilon-accurate solution with O(d max(sigma/epsilon,1)^2) samples under sub-Gaussian noise, which is minimax optimal up to logs.
