Do We Need All the Synthetic Data? Targeted Image Augmentation via Diffusion Models

ICLR 2026poster

Synthetically augmenting training datasets with diffusion models has been an effective strategy for improving generalization of image classifiers. However, existing techniques struggle to ensure the diversity of generation and increase the size of the data by up to 10-30x to improve the in-distribut…

Risk Phase Transitions in Spiked Regression: Alignment Driven Benign and Catastrophic Overfitting

ICLR 2026poster

This paper analyzes the generalization error of minimum-norm interpolating solutions in linear regression using spiked covariance data models. The paper characterizes how varying spike strengths and target-spike alignments can affect risk, especially in overparameterized settings. The study presents…

Representations Shape Weak-to-Strong Generalization: Theoretical Insights and Empirical Predictions

ICML 2025poster

Weak-to-Strong Generalization (W2SG), where a weak model supervises a stronger one, serves as an important analogy for understanding how humans might guide superhuman intelligence in the future. Promising empirical results revealed that a strong model can surpass its weak supervisor. While recent w…
