Mean-field limit from general mixtures of experts to quantum neural networks

arXiv:2501.14660v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we study the asymptotic behavior of Mixture of Experts (MoE) trained via gradient flow on supervised learning problems. Our main result establishes the propagation of chaos for a MoE as the number of experts diverges. We demonstrate that the corresponding empirical measure of their parameters is close to a probability measure that solves a nonlinear continuity equation, and we provide an explicit convergence rate that depends solely on the number of experts. We apply our results to a MoE generated by a quantum neural network.
