Training ideas

Curricula, sampling schedules, pseudo-labeling and multi-task mixing, with the standard training recipe as the control.

Constructive Two-View Gauge Initialization

Initialize latent coordinate-frame parameters analytically from two temporally separated neural predictions instead of starting joint optimization from arbitrary translation and orientation. This removes the continuous gauge before backpropagation and should prevent EKF-like or gradient-based failures caused by large yaw and position initialization errors.

Small-gain-certified surrogate controller

Train a neural controller as a uniformly accurate surrogate of a trusted but expensive controller, and use a measured small-gain condition to decide whether the surrogate is safe for closed-loop deployment. The approximation tolerance becomes an interpretable residual-state budget instead of an opaque validation metric.
