arXiv:2607. 12501v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Forward-Forward algorithm trains each layer locally, so that a scalar goodness - the sum of squared activations - is high on real inputs and low on contrastive ones.

The study investigates whether the number of discrete class‑separability jumps (phase transitions) observed during ResNet fine‑tuning can predict final test accuracy. Across 75 experiments on four benchmarks (CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, TinyImageNet, CIFAR‑10‑C) and three ResNet variants, a strong negative correlation is found on standard i.i.d. datasets (r = −0.84 on CIFAR‑10, r = −0.87 on CIFAR‑100), while the correlation weakens under distributional stress. Additional analyses show that the transition count retains predictive power after controlling for architecture depth and outperforms other training‑curve signals on in‑distribution benchmarks, though it is dominated by other signals on stressed datasets.

arXiv:2608. 09768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A prediction that is both confident and wrong is a critical reliability failure because it can bypass abstention and human review precisely when the model is mistaken.
