TL;DR: We prove generalization bounds for convolutional neural networks that take account of weight-tying
Abstract: We prove bounds on the generalization error of convolutional networks.
The bounds are in terms of the training loss, the number of
parameters, the Lipschitz constant of the loss and the distance from
the weights to the initial weights.  They are independent of the
number of pixels in the input, and the height and width of hidden
feature maps.
We present experiments using CIFAR-10 with varying
hyperparameters of a deep convolutional network, comparing our bounds
with practical generalization gaps.
