A new paper introduces the Lattice Deduction Transformer (LDT), a neural solver that, contrary to expectations, functions as a one-shot predictor rather than an iterative reasoner in clue-rich Sudoku. The research reveals that the model commits to most of the grid in a single pass, a phenomenon termed 'first-pass poisoning,' where incorrect values are confidently deleted before any search process begins. While adding search mechanisms like backtracking significantly reduces redundant computations, it does not improve accuracy, suggesting that optimization and sample efficiency are key advantages. The paper proposes two interventions: digit-permutation augmentation and test-time union over symmetry-transformed passes, which collectively boost accuracy to 100% without retraining. AI
IMPACT This research highlights potential limitations in current neural solver architectures, suggesting a need for new approaches to achieve true iterative reasoning capabilities.
