A new research paper explores the concept of "latent capability resurfacing" in language models, suggesting that self-generated data can improve a model's performance only if it's compatible with the model's existing capabilities. The study found that synthetic data's utility is relational, with a model's own generated text being the most effective. Interestingly, this self-training method also demonstrated a decoupling of model capability from verbatim memorization, significantly reducing exact-match extraction without explicit unlearning. AI
