PopuLoRA: Co-Evolving LLM Populations for Reasoning Self-Play

We introduce PopuLoRA, a population-based asymmetric self-play framework for reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) post-training of LLMs. Teachers and students are specialised LoRA adapters on a shared frozen base: teachers propose problems, matched students solve them under a programmatic verifier, and cross-evaluation between sub-populations replaces the self-calibration that limits single-agent self-play. A family of LoRA weight-space evolution operators (mutations and crossovers that produce same-rank population members in seconds) serves as the replacement step of a population-based training loop at 7B scale. We instantiate PopuLoRA on top of Absolute Zero Reasoner and compare it against a per-adapter compute-matched single-agent baseline. Where the single agent self-calibrates to generating easy problems it can reliably solve, the population enters a co-evolutionary arms race: teachers produce increasingly complex problems, student solve rates oscillate, and problem-space coverage keeps expanding throughout training. Despite lower training-time reward, the population mean outperforms the baseline on three code benchmarks (HumanEval+, MBPP+, LiveCodeBench) and seven math benchmarks (AIME 24/25, AMC 23, MATH-500, Minerva, GSM8K, OlympiadBench), and even the weakest member of the population beats the baseline on aggregate.

Scattering Networks on the Sphere for Scalable and Rotationally Equivariant Spherical CNNs

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) constructed natively on the sphere have been developed recently and shown to be highly effective for the analysis of spherical data. While an efficient framework has been formulated, spherical CNNs are nevertheless highly computationally demanding; typically they cannot scale beyond spherical signals of thousands of pixels. We develop scattering networks constructed natively on the sphere that provide a powerful representational space for spherical data. Spherical scattering networks are computationally scalable and exhibit rotational equivariance, while their representational space is invariant to isometries and provides efficient and stable signal representations. By integrating scattering networks as an additional type of layer in the generalized spherical CNN framework, we show how they can be leveraged to scale spherical CNNs to the high-resolution data typical of many practical applications, with spherical signals of many tens of megapixels and beyond.

Efficient Generalized Spherical CNNs

Many problems across computer vision and the natural sciences require the analysis of spherical data, for which representations may be learned efficiently by encoding equivariance to rotational symmetries. We present a generalized spherical CNN framework that encompasses various existing approaches and allows them to be leveraged alongside each other. The only existing non-linear spherical CNN layer that is strictly equivariant has complexity $\mathcal{O}(C^2L^5)$, where $C$ is a measure of representational capacity and $L$ the spherical harmonic bandlimit. Such a high computational cost often prohibits the use of strictly equivariant spherical CNNs. We develop two new strictly equivariant layers with reduced complexity $\mathcal{O}(CL^4)$ and $\mathcal{O}(CL^3 \log L)$, making larger, more expressive models computationally feasible. Moreover, we adopt efficient sampling theory to achieve further computational savings. We show that these developments allow the construction of more expressive hybrid models that achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and parameter efficiency on spherical benchmark problems.
