From de827a42e10ede662f4bd2893c4f8b6d54be45dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YurenHao0426 Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 18:53:29 -0500 Subject: Amplification beats the instance that defeated fifteen solvers The caption-omitted field returned under 5% from every solver tried: Umeyama, GRAMPA, five Gromov-Wasserstein variants, FAQ with and without restarts, PATH convex-concave, a moment ladder, semirelaxed GW. The measurements said the answer was not a sixteenth solver. Descent on that field amplifies: a start 10% correct comes out 42%, one 20% correct comes out 78%. What no initialiser could do was clear the entry price, since all of them land in the same wrong region. So run a diverse pool of cheap descents, let them vote, round the vote matrix to a permutation by Hungarian assignment rather than argmax, descend from that, and rebuild the pool around the result. Each round feeds the amplifier a better start. 0.044 -> 0.72 on the best run, 0.54 mean over two. Competitive elsewhere: 0.977 on the easy field against 0.961 for the best GW variant. Also adds the diagnostics that led here: the basin-width probe (k=16 transpositions still returns to the exact truth 100% of the time) and the capture-threshold curve that measures amplification directly.
