arXiv:2502. 18049v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent studies identified an intriguing phenomenon in recursive generative model training known as model collapse, where models trained on data generated by previous models exhibit severe performance degradation.
arXiv:2410. 12341v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As AI-generated content increasingly populates the web, generative AI models are at growing risk of being trained on their own outputs, a process known as AI autophagy.
arXiv:2510. 16657v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic data has been increasingly used to train frontier generative models.
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.
arXiv:2605. 04127v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model collapse, the degradation in performance that arises when generative models are trained on the outputs of prior models, is an increasing concern as artificially generated content proliferates.
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.
arXiv:2609.00129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models degrades when the problem they were trained on drifts. This is a nea...
arXiv:2606. 05168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training on synthetic data causes model collapse, but existing analyses treat this as single-chain degradation.
arXiv:2607. 00926v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalizing machine learning models to environments that differ from their training distribution remains a critical hurdle, particularly when data from the target domain is entirely or partially unavailable.
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.
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.
