arXiv:2608. 07890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models decouple total parameters from per-token compute, but deployment still requires storing every expert.

arXiv:2606. 01717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction tuning aligns large language models, including multimodal ones, with diverse user intents, but scaling to heterogeneous mixtures is hindered by gradient interference and bandwidth-heavy synchronization.
By Minsik Choi, Geewook Kim
arXiv:2607. 18343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated fine-tuning is bottlenecked by communication: FedAvg and pseudo-gradient schemes transmit a payload that scales with the model, and gradient compression shrinks it by only a constant factor.

arXiv:2608. 05499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern deep neural networks achieve strong performance, but their scale makes them costly and slow, especially on resource-constrained edge devices.

arXiv:2607. 28308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models route each token to multiple experts, suggesting a geometric account of their benefit: co-selected experts should contribute distinct representation directions.

arXiv:2505. 03303v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Lightweight convolutional neural networks are often compared using results obtained with different training recipes, input settings, and pretrained checkpoints.

arXiv:2607. 23711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LoRA fine-tuning can create intruder dimensions: new leading singular vectors of the updated weight matrix $W+BA$ that are nearly orthogonal to all pretrained singular vectors and that drive catastrophic forgetting.
