Replace full-KKT implicit differentiation through a constrained quadratic-program layer with differentiation through only the equality constraints and inequalities active at the optimum. The forward solver still enforces all constraints, but the backward linear system scales with the active-set size rather than the total number of inequalities.
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.
Use a bounded stochasticity control during an initial preparation window to shape the gradient or parameter-update distribution before ordinary training. The control is restricted to its minimum or maximum value, with at most one switch, because the reduced moment dynamics are affine in the control; this gives a falsifiable alternative to smooth noise or learning-rate annealing.
