Robust CurveMoE: Multi-Norm Adversarial Defense for Mixture-of-Experts Models via Mode Connectivity

Robust CurveMoE is a mixture‑of‑experts framework that protects neural networks against perturbations defined by multiple norm constraints. It connects norm‑specialized models through a low‑loss path, selectively expertises only influential layers, and shares the rest of the parameters across routing paths. The method introduces contribution‑guided partial updating to reduce curve‑construction cost and provides a theoretical bound on the objective gap between partial and full optimization, achieving consistent improvements in clean, norm‑specific, and Union accuracy on CIFAR‑100 and ImageNet‑100.

LiST: Lipschitz Scaling Training for Robust and Calibrated Neural Networks

arXiv:2607. 07745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While accuracy, robustness, and calibration are all essential for reliable neural networks, they are often studied separately; developing models that satisfy all three simultaneously remains a central challenge.

MoPET: Parameter-Efficient Mixture-of-Experts for Unified Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607. 29462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting deep learning models to profound clinical heterogeneity typically relies on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to avoid the severe overfitting associated with full end-to-end network updates.

Sparsity-Adaptive Sharpness-Aware Minimization

The paper introduces Sparsity-Adaptive Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SA‑SAM), a method that adjusts the perturbation radius in sharpness-aware training to remain consistent as model sparsity increases. It also evaluates a Magnitude‑Weighted Hessian (MWH) importance metric derived from second‑order analysis. Experiments on CIFAR‑10‑C, CIFAR‑100‑C, and ImageNet‑100‑C show that SA‑SAM improves corruption robustness at 80–90% sparsity while maintaining clean accuracy, and the study reports inference throughput at deployment‑relevant sparsity levels.
