| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary A single-layer nonlinear contrastive learning model is analyzed using high-dimensional techniques, revealing insights into its training dynamics. The empirical distribution of model weights converges to a McKean-Vlasov PDE, which reduces to a set of ODEs under L2 regularization. The fixed point locations and their stability are examined, leading to several interesting findings about the impact of higher moments on feature learnability and selection. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper explores the training dynamics of a simple contrastive learning model using high-dimensional analysis. By studying the model’s weights, researchers found that certain moments affect how well features are learned and selected during training. Interestingly, adding noise to the data can actually improve performance if the noise is negatively correlated with the gradient estimation. |
