Central limit theorems for the outputs of fully convolutional neural networks with time series input

ArXi:2603.29612v1 Announce Type: cross Deep learning is widely deployed for time series learning tasks such as classification and forecasting. Despite the empirical successes, only little theory has been developed so far in the time series context. In this work, we prove that if the network inputs are generated from short-range dependent linear processes, the outputs of fully convolutional neural networks (FCNs) with global average pooling (GAP) are asymptotically Gaussian and the limit is attained if the length of the observed time series tends to infinity.
