/* lal_model_growth.h — Progressive Model Growth for Curriculum Learning * * Core Philosophy: * Fixed-size models can't learn from large raw data — gradients vanish * when capacity is insufficient. Like biological neural development, * the model should grow its parameters as it masters simpler concepts. * * Growth Strategy (function-preserving, Net2Net-inspired): * 1. Layer addition: Add new layers initialized as near-identity * (weight ≈ I + small noise, bias ≈ 0) * 2. Width expansion: Expand embedding dim by zero-padding * (new columns are zero → existing function preserved) * * Growth Schedule (tied to semantic gate): * Phase 0 (start): 6 layers, 384 embd (~12M params) * Phase 1 (gate L1+): 8 layers, 448 embd (~22M params) * Phase 2 (gate L2+): 10 layers, 512 embd (~35M params) * Phase 3 (gate L3+): 12 layers, 576 embd (~50M params) * * After each growth, the model retains all learned knowledge because * the growth is function-preserving (identity layers + zero padding). * * This is a single-header library. */ #ifndef LAL_MODEL_GROWTH_H #define LAL_MODEL_GROWTH_H #include #include #include #include /* ======================================================================== * Growth Phase Configuration * ======================================================================== */ typedef struct { int n_layer;
