Researchers have developed a compositional theory for understanding curvature in Probabilistic Circuits (PCs), a type of generative model. They demonstrated that the Hessian trace, a measure of loss-surface curvature, can be decomposed into a node's circuit flow and a local sharpness term. This insight helps explain why global sharpness regularization can lead to underfitting and depth bias. The new theory enables an adaptive regularizer that targets local curvature, preserving generalization while maintaining the benefits of sharpness-aware learning and closed-form EM updates. AI
