Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
We investigate the minimal width of deep neural networks that can approximate all continuous functions from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ in the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets. We show that whenever the real projective space $\mathbb{RP}^{n-1}$ admits a smooth immersion into $\mathbb{R}^n$, the minimal width is at least $n+\min\{n,m\}$, assuming that the activation function is continuous and monotone. As a consequence, the minimal width of ReLU networks is $n+m$ whenever $n$ is equal to 2, 3, 4, 7 or 8 and $1\le m \le n$, extending results of Hanin-Sellke and Hwang. This suggests an intriguing connection between the approximation theory of neural networks and differential topology.
