MAPLE: Metadata Augmented Private Language Evolution

arXiv:2603. 19258v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Differentially private (DP) fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) requires massive compute and full model access, which rules out state-of-the-art proprietary APIs for general users.

SDFLoRA: Selective Decoupled Federated LoRA for Privacy-preserving Fine-tuning with Heterogeneous Clients

arXiv:2601. 11219v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) for large language models (LLMs) has attracted increasing attention as a privacy-preserving approach for adapting models over distributed data, where parameter-efficient methods such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) are widely adopted to reduce communication and memory costs.

Towards Harnessing the Collaborative Power of Large and Small Models for Domain Tasks

arXiv:2504. 17421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LMs) offer broad generalization capabilities but require vast amounts of data and computational resources for domain-specific tasks; small models (SMs), in contrast, are more efficient and tailored to specific domains yet lack general-purpose coverage.
