Abstract

Capabilities of radial convolution kernel networks to approximate multivariate functions are investigated. A necessary condition for universal approximation property of convolution kernel networks is given. Kernels that satisfy the condition in arbitrary dimension are investigated in terms of their Hankel and Fourier transforms. A computational example is presented to assess approximation capabilities of different convolution kernel networks.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that the convolution kernel networks represent a different concept from the nowadays very popular concept of the convolutional neural networks [7]. The first has a shallow architecture in contrast to the deep one of the latter case.
