Researchers have proposed a new hypothesis suggesting that data scaling laws in machine learning are driven by the progressive coverage of a predictive contribution spectrum, rather than solely by token-frequency tails. They developed a method using suffix automata to represent text corpora and define a data-intrinsic global-KL predictive contribution spectrum. Empirical analysis across multiple corpora showed a strong correlation between the tail slope of this spectrum and the data-scaling exponent of a fixed GPT learner, indicating that training scale advances an effective frontier through this spectrum.
