Abstract

We develop constructive approximation and learning guarantees for shallow neural models with infinite-dimensional inputs observed through finitely many coordinates. The analysis is based on a parameter-normalized neural dictionary and its associated weighted variation class. Within this class, the approximation error separates into a distribution-dependent coordinate-truncation term and a greedy finite-width term. For empirical regression, a fully-corrective greedy procedure yields population guarantees whose statistical complexity is uniform in the retained input resolution. The same framework extends to Hilbert-valued responses without an explicit dependence on the output dimension. The dimension-free statements are statistical, not computational: selecting a new neuron still requires solving a nonconvex parameter-search problem. The quasi-Polish construction underlying recent infinite-dimensional universal approximation results provides a motivating example, and synthetic experiments illustrate the predicted resolution, width, and sample-size regimes.
