Three new pre-preprints went out recently:

• Factual recall in linear associative memories: sharp asymptotics and mechanistic insights, a joint work with Alessio Giorlandino and Sebastian Goldt from SISSA where we explore the capacity of linear associative memory models.
• Memorisation, convergence and generalisation in generative models, another joint work with Sebastian where we analyze how simple generative models transition from memorization to generalization, and uncover a convergence regime where independently-trained generative models converge to the same density, while failing to learn the latent structure in the data.
• From Diminishing Returns to Entrenchment: A Unifying Theory of Epistasis along Adaptive Walks Revealed by Fisher’s Geometric Model, an unexpected familial collaboration in the realm of theoretical genetics!
