How the Hessian-Spectrum of Neural Networks Depends on Data

The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc. Prior works have focused on empirical results or pursued a theoretical treatment under overly simplified settings. In this work, we derive the eigenvalues of the Hessian of linear networks with arbitrary widths and depths, and datasets with an arbitrary number of…
