We compare the end-to-end training approach to a modular approach in which a system is decomposed into semantically meaningful components. We focus on the sample complexity aspect, in the regime where an extremely high accuracy is necessary, as is the case in autonomous driving applications. We demonstrate cases in which the number of training examples required by the end-to-end approach is exponentially larger than the number of examples required by the semantic abstraction approach.

  1. Deep sequence models tend to memorize geometrically; it is unclear why

    cs.LG 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Deep sequence models develop geometric memory in embeddings that encodes novel global relationships, transforming l-fold composition tasks into 1-step navigation via a natural spectral bias connected to Node2Vec.

    cs.RO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    FOREWARN steers a diffusion robot policy at runtime by using a world model to predict latent futures and a vision-language model to narrate and rank those futures in natural language.
