A new paper proposes using the Fisher-Rao metric to analyze the dynamics of training large language models (LLMs) with synthetic data. The research addresses the issue of "model collapse," where LLMs forget the true data distribution when trained recursively on synthetic data. The authors establish theoretical guarantees for the minimum ratio of human data required to prevent this collapse, demonstrating that this ratio is different from previous estimates derived using the Euclidean metric.
