The success of convolutional neural networks is often attributed to locality and weight sharing. However, how these two properties separately shape learning, and how their effects depend on the spatial correlations of natural images, remain poorly understood. We address these questions in a teacher-student model with a convolutional teacher acting on P input positions with correlation c between positions. We compare convolutional and locally connected students trained by online stochastic gradient descent, and derive ordinary differential equations that describe their dynamics exactly in the limit of large feature dimension D. For uncorrelated positions (c = 0), the two students follow the same learning trajectory, with the convolutional student learning exactly P times faster. We also find that locality affects the sample complexity: a student that matches the kernel size of the teacher recovers it from {O}_{D}(D) samples, whereas {O}_{D}(D(D)) samples are needed with a larger kernel. For c > 0, spatial correlations can reduce the advantage of weight sharing. The asymptotic error of the convolutional student grows with c, whereas that of the locally connected student is independent of c and overall lower when evaluated at the same learning rate. When the learning rate is instead tuned to the training horizon, however, the locally connected student wins at early times and the convolutional student at late times, with a transition that we predict analytically.
Despite recent advances, current AI systems remain highly susceptible to domain shifts, particularly in biomedical imaging, where images are usually acquired under substantially different experimental conditions. Although recent domain adaptation methods have made substantial progress, significant performance gaps under domain shift persist. To measure progress in this regard, we introduce BatchBench, a leaderboard that evaluates and compares the robustness of AI systems on biomedical images from unseen experimental batches and data sources. BatchBench is built on JUMP-CP, one of the largest publicly available biomedical imaging datasets. Generated using the Cell Painting assay, JUMP-CP exhibits pronounced batch effects and domain shifts, making it a challenging testbed for evaluating robustness to distributional changes.
Generative models propose crystalline materials by learning composition and geometry, but unconditional sampling gives no direct control over the space group, which constrains whether responses such as piezoelectricity are symmetry-allowed. We present Orbitol, a crystal generator built on the Crystalite diffusion Transformer that replaces atom tokens with Wyckoff-orbit tokens. Given a space group and a collection of occupied Wyckoff positions, Orbitol generates the atom type and free coordinates of each orbit together with a compatible lattice, so every valid structure is invariant under the operations of the requested group. It generates structures two to three orders of magnitude faster than the symmetry-aware baselines at the evaluated settings. On MP-20, 13.8% of Orbitol's attempts yielded stable or metastable, unique and novel structures that retained the requested space group after relaxation, compared with 10.8% for SGFM, the next best model. We also introduce SPARC, a score that combines retention of the raw detected space group with agreement between the retained-group and training distributions. Finally, we used Orbitol to generate candidates in piezoelectric crystal classes. Of the structures selected by internal screening, 89% passed our density functional theory checks, and 79% also matched no Materials Project or Alexandria entry with the same space group. Their median figure of merit was nine times that of the piezoelectric materials computed in the Materials Project, and 24% of the new candidates ranked in that set's top 10%.
Recent Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) use Self-Conditioning (SC), or Loopholing, to improve their performance. While SC is traditionally seen as an auxiliary heuristic, its empirical success raises the question: can a continuous generative model be based purely on Self-Conditioning? We answer affirmatively with LAW (``Loopholing All the Way''), which propagates the Expected Embedding under the denoiser's prediction across steps, decoding the tokens once, at the end. On Sudoku, LAW outperforms previous Discrete and Continuous Diffusion Models, including Loopholing Discrete Diffusion. On Maze, LAW is the most accurate from 2 to 64 NFE. After training on TinyGSM and sampling at temperature 1 with 1024 NFE, LAW solves 42.2% of GSM8K problems against 34.5% for uniform Loopholing Discrete Diffusion. Additionally, fine-tuning a pre-trained Uniform Diffusion Model (Duo) with LAW increases its accuracy from 17.2% to 48.1%. Finally, on OpenWebText, LAW pushes the Pareto frontier and approaches Autoregressive Models (ARMs) with 64 NFE. Find our code at https://github.com/ilievanadezhda/law.
Uniform diffusion language models (UDLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising sequences of ordinary vocabulary tokens, any of which may be corrupted and subsequently revised. During training, UDLMs must denoise from a context that may itself be unreliable, whereas masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) always condition on a clean context. This challenging training objective makes UDLMs more FLOP-intensive to train than MDLMs, but it yields stronger downstream reasoning performance. Recently, selective looping, which recursively applies a few early Transformer layers within each denoising step, has been shown to improve training efficiency in MDLMs under an iso-FLOP budget. We investigate looping in UDLMs while keeping the training objective and sampler unchanged. We find that looping significantly improves training efficiency: looped UDLMs reach the validation NLL of a non-looped UDLM trained on about 0.5 trillion tokens with up to 2.8x fewer training FLOPs on OpenWebText and 3.3x fewer on FineWeb-Edu. We also find that, at a matched NFE budget, looped UDLMs reach up to 9.8% lower generation perplexity than the non-looped UDLM, with most gains achieved at moderate loop counts. Finally, we study different loop-count distributions and find that sampling smaller loop counts more frequently during training improves inference efficiency: on downstream tasks, this strategy uses 12% fewer loops than uniform loop-count sampling without degrading accuracy.
