  • CoVAE: Consistency Training of Variational Autoencoders

    CoVAE: Consistency Training of Variational Autoencoders arXiv:2507.09103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current state-of-the-art generative approaches frequently rely on a two-stage training procedure, where an autoencoder (often a VAE) first performs dimensionality reduction, followed by training a generative model on the learned latent space. While effective, this introduces computational overhead and increased sampling times. We challenge…

  • Theoretical Tensions in RLHF: Reconciling Empirical Success with Inconsistencies in Social Choice Theory

    Theoretical Tensions in RLHF: Reconciling Empirical Success with Inconsistencies in Social Choice Theory arXiv:2506.12350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite its empirical success, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has been shown to violate almost all the fundamental axioms in social choice theory — such as majority consistency, pairwise majority consistency, and Condorcet consistency. This raises…
