New paper revisits Neural Thickets, reporting output-level methods can match weight perturbation

According to a post on X by @shumpeiMaxwell, a new paper by Dufour, Gardès, Dravid, Pérez and Landrieu reexamines the Neural Thickets result discussed on the lists this week. The paper reports that perturbing output logits, selecting candidates and voting matches or beats weight perturbation. It suggests that output diversity and selection drive the gains. The post does not include further numbers or benchmarks.

Researchers who work on methods that modify model weights may want to compare them with simpler output-side approaches. If the reported results hold, selecting among candidate outputs could be a practical alternative to weight perturbation. Readers should look for the full paper's experimental details, which this post does not cover.
