Curriculum Learning as Transport: Understanding Curricula with Wasserstein Geodesics
This is solid methodological work for training researchers. The key insight—that curriculum effects are task and context-dependent with no universal dominant strategy—is useful for practitioners who thought there was a silver-bullet curriculum recipe. If you're tuning model training, the framework lets you isolate what's actually helping versus what's noise. Most builders won't need this, but RL engineers working on reasoning models should read it.
