How does high dimensionality impact deep learning generalization?

Updated May 15, 2026

Short answer

It increases risk of overfitting but deep models exploit structure to generalize.

Deep explanation

Despite over-parameterization, deep networks generalize due to implicit regularization, data structure, and optimization biases like flat minima preference.
