Washington National Opera Is Leaving the Kennedy Center
The opera, which has performed at the arts center since 1971, was concerned about declines in attendance and donations during President Trump’s second term.

Beyond Real Data: Synthetic Data through the Lens of Regularization
Synthetic data can improve generalization when real data is scarce, but excessive reliance may introduce distributional mismatches that degrade performance. In this paper, we present a learning-theoretic framework to quantify the trade-off between synthetic and real data. Our approach leverages algorithmic stability to derive generalization error bounds, characterizing the optimal synthetic-to-real data ratio that minimizes expected test error as a function of the Wasserstein distance between t…

Contrastive Decoding for Synthetic Data Generation in Low-Resource Language Modeling
Large language models (LLMs) are trained on huge amounts of textual data, and concerns have been raised that the limits of such data may soon be reached. A potential solution is to train on synthetic data sampled from LLMs. In this work, we build on this idea and investigate the benefits of contrastive decoding for generating synthetic corpora. In a controlled setting, we experiment with sampling corpora using the relative difference between a good and bad model trained on the same original cor…

No video? Never happened. ICE and DHS have been lying from the beginning of the Trump term.
I can’t find video of the supposed shooting. I’ve tried.

High-dimensional Analysis of Synthetic Data Selection
Despite the progress in the development of generative models, their usefulness in creating synthetic data that improve prediction performance of classifiers has been put into question. Besides heuristic principles such as "synthetic data should be close to the real data distribution", it is actually not clear which specific properties affect the generalization error. Our paper addresses this question through the lens of high-dimensional regression. Theoretically, we show that, for linear models…
