The paper demonstrates that a byte‑level BPE tokenizer can be sliced to create multiple vocabulary sizes from a single trained model, preserving exact logits while reducing deployed weights by 66%. Experiments on 30 models show that while sliced models match the full model numerically, they underperform fixed‑cap specialists by a few percentage points in bits‑per‑byte. Multi‑cap training improves robustness to typographical noise, suggesting benefits from training across multiple granularities rather than from control tokens alone.

The paper introduces ClusterMixer, a token mixer based on hierarchical clustering in hyperbolic space, designed to be transparent and interpretable. It forms the core of a new vision backbone called HCFormer, which incorporates multiple clustering strategies to maintain strong performance. Experiments show HCFormer surpasses existing backbones on tasks such as image classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation.

LakeHopper is a method for adapting column type annotators (CTA) from one data lake to another by treating cross‑lake adaptation as a knowledge‑management problem. It decomposes the source annotator’s knowledge into source‑specific, shared, and target‑specific parts, and then uses three mechanisms—label‑set realignment, LLM‑verified gap discovery, and cluster‑based propagation with rehearsal fine‑tuning—to adapt the annotator under a limited annotation budget. The approach achieves up to a 71.4% relative macro‑F1 improvement over three PLM backbones, reaches near‑full data quality with less than 6% of target labels, and trains 27–131 times faster than fine‑tuned table LLMs.
