Reviewing Model Collapse and Countermeasures
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driven by massive amounts of web-scale data, generative AI (GenAI) has achieved remarkable progress, enabling various applications in diverse sectors. The advances of GenAI have actuated practitioners to use AI-synthesized data for training next-generation AI models. Undeniably, using synthetic data has alleviated the increasing stringent demand for data supply. Unfortunately, it also introduces a new critical issue: in a self-consuming cycle between model and data, the model ultimately collapse, raising more trustworthiness concerns to GenAI. In
