Abstract: We propose a sparse deep ReLU network (SDRN) estimator of the regression function obtained from regularized empirical risk minimization with a Lipschitz loss function. Our framework can be applied to a variety of regression and classification problems. We establish novel nonasymptotic excess risk bounds for our SDRN estimator when the regression function belongs to a Sobolev space with mixed derivatives. We obtain a new, nearly optimal, risk rate in the sense that the SDRN estimator can achieve nearly the same optimal minimax convergence rate as one-dimensional nonparametric regression with the dimension involved in a logarithm term only when the feature dimension is fixed. The estimator has a slightly slower rate when the dimension grows with the sample size. We show that the depth of the SDRN estimator grows with the sample size in logarithmic order, and the total number of nodes and weights grows in polynomial order of the sample size to have the nearly optimal risk rate. The proposed SDRN can go deeper with fewer parameters to well estimate the regression and overcome the overfitting problem encountered by conventional feedforward neural networks.
