The paper investigates whether the sparsity of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models leads to intrinsic semantic organization across modalities and domains. It shows that experts naturally specialize semantically even without explicit modular training. The authors propose ExpertLens, a data‑free method that decodes router weights to identify domain‑specialized experts, enabling selective fine‑tuning that matches or exceeds full fine‑tuning while updating only 21.7–47.0% of parameters and achieving a 4.0× speedup, outperforming LoRA in both performance and efficiency.

Mixture-of-experts vision-language models (MoE-VLMs) increase model capacity with sparse expert activation, yet deployment requires storing the full expert pool. Training-free expert merging reduces this burden, and many routing-based methods aggregate routing statistics across all tokens to determine merge compatibility.
The paper introduces a token‑oriented semantic communication framework that transmits only task‑relevant image latents instead of full token embeddings, reducing communication cost and improving interoperability. It leverages a spatial alignment between vision transformer patch tokens and learned image compression latents, enabling token‑level relevance estimation and selective transmission. Experiments on ImageNet demonstrate a superior rate–accuracy trade‑off compared to existing semantic communication methods and hand‑crafted codecs.

MASKerade is a new dense‑to‑MoE training method that learns experts as sparse subnetworks of a frozen pretrained feed‑forward network (FFN) using binary masks. A token‑level router selects which masked FFNs to execute, and both the router and mask scores are jointly optimized while the underlying FFN weights remain unchanged. In experiments on five vision‑language benchmarks with Qwen and Gemma backbones, a configuration of four 2:4 experts with top‑2 routing achieved the best performance among compared baselines, demonstrating that mask learning over frozen weights is a practical alternative for constructing token‑routed MoE experts.
