Two steps of gradient descent on first-layer weights in linear-width two-layer networks produce a spiked random matrix with floor(alpha2/(1/2-alpha1)) outliers, each a learned direction, and batch reuse allows capturing directions with information exponent exceeding one.
Pre-training provides a geometric warm start in a single-index model that enables weak-to-strong generalization up to a supervisor-limited bound, with empirical phase-transition evidence in LLMs.
Muddit is a unified discrete diffusion transformer that integrates strong visual priors from a pretrained text-to-image model with a lightweight text decoder to enable fast parallel generation across text and image modalities.
A video quality model trained purely on pseudo-labels from weaker VQA models and synthetic distortions beats fully supervised state-of-the-art models on ten benchmarks, with the largest gains on new video types.
In ridgeless regression with low intrinsic dimension, discrepancy between weak and strong models reduces W2S generalization variance by dim(V_s)/N in the discrepant subspace while inheriting it in the overlap.
Trust functions filter unreliable weak labels to enable near-lossless weak-to-strong generalization and iterative chaining.
Weak-to-strong knowledge distillation applied early and then turned off accelerates convergence to target performance in visual learning tasks by factors of 1.7-4.8x.
