contents We perform accurate numerical experiments with fully-connected (FC) one-hidden layer neural networks trained with a discretized Langevin dynamics on the MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets. Our goal is to empirically determine the regimes of validity of a recently-derived Bayesian effective action for shallow architectures in the proportional limit. We explore the predictive power of the theory as a function of the parameters (the temperature $T$, the magnitude of the Gaussian priors $λ_1$, $λ_0$, the size of the hidden layer $N_1$ and the size of the training set $P$) by comparing the experimental and predicted generalization error. The very good agreement between the effective theory and the experiments represents an indication that global rescaling of the infinite-width kernel is a main physical mechanism for kernel renormalization in FC Bayesian standard-scaled shallow networks.
