Can Generative Artificial Intelligence Survive Data Contamination? Theoretical Guarantees under Contaminated Recursive Training

arXiv:2602. 16065v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content proliferates, models are increasingly trained on their own outputs, risking progressive degradation or collapse.

Preventing Model Collapse: A Fisher-Rao Perspective on the Dynamics of Training with Synthetic Data

The paper investigates how to avoid model collapse when training large language models with synthetic data. It establishes theoretical guarantees for the minimum ratio of human to synthetic data needed to maintain training stability, using the Fisher‑Rao metric to analyze dynamics on the probability simplex. The authors derive contraction and invariance bounds that remain meaningful even in high dimensions, showing that the required data ratio differs from earlier estimates.

Catastrophic Compositional Generation: Why Vanilla Diffusion Models Fail to Extrapolate

arXiv:2606. 23920v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The task of compositional generation involves using a conditional generative model, trained only on a subset of the possible conditions, to produce samples from compositionally-defined target distributions such as a geometric combination of the source distributions.

The Emergence of Reproducibility and Generalizability in Diffusion Models

arXiv:2310. 05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs.

Forgetting is Everywhere

arXiv:2511. 04666v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental challenge in developing general learning algorithms is their tendency to forget past knowledge as they adapt to new data.
