The authors introduce backward training, which rebuilds updates from the initial parameters by applying all batches seen so far in reverse order. Under contraction and bounded-displacement assumptions, the backward sequence converges; conditions also relate its distribution to forward training. In CIFAR-10 experiments, curves are smoother across five seeds, but this does not establish lower computation or better test accuracy.
