New research judges neural network generalization by symbolic interaction complexity: Professor Zhang Quanshi’s team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has proposed a new theory to analyze the generalization ability of neural networks from the perspective of the complexity of their internal symbolic interaction representations. The study found that generalizable interactions (appearing frequently in both training and test sets) typically exhibit a decaying distribution across different orders (complexity), with low-order interactions predominating. In contrast, non-generalizable interactions (mainly appearing in the training set) show a spindle-shaped distribution, with mid-order interactions being dominant and positive/negative effects easily canceling out. This theory aims to directly assess a model’s generalization potential by analyzing the distribution patterns of its equivalent “AND-OR interaction logic,” offering a new perspective for understanding and improving model generalization (Source: WeChat)

RL fine-tuning study reveals complex relationship between data management and generalization: A paper shared by Minqi Jiang discusses the impact of data management in Reinforcement Learning (RL) fine-tuning on model generalization. The study found that whether training on “infinite” coding tasks via self-play curriculum learning (Absolute Zero Reasoner) or repeatedly training on a single MATH task sample (1-shot RLVR), 7B scale Qwen2.5 series models achieved an accuracy improvement of about 28% to 40% on math benchmarks. This reveals a paradox: extreme data management strategies (infinite data vs. single-point data) can yield similar generalization improvements. Possible explanations include RL primarily eliciting pre-trained capabilities, the existence of shared “reasoning circuits,” and pre-training potentially leading to competitive reasoning circuits. Researchers believe that to break the “pre-training ceiling,” continuous collection and creation of new tasks and environments are necessary (Source: menhguin)
