arXiv:2604. 19753v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a feature-free approach to algorithm selection: instead of hand-crafted instance features, we use pretrained text embeddings.
arXiv:2606. 30473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study retrieval over catalogs of structured metadata, where each record is a small schema whose fields answer different kinds of query.
arXiv:2609.12552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-vocabulary detection accepts any class list at inference, and promptable segmentation returns regions without class names: the taxonomy has left t...
arXiv:2606. 24259v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuned encoders deployed across heterogeneous NLP tasks face three compounding problems: mismatched inductive biases, class-imbalance corruption of feature statistics, and no mechanism to condition attention on external lexical knowledge.
arXiv:2608. 09209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural language models trained on large crowdsourced corpora frequently exploit spurious surface patterns tied to target labels without true linguistic or causal relevance, boosting benchmark performance while failing on adversarial or out-of-distribution inputs.
arXiv:2410.02343v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) routinely fail to output the correct option in multiple-choice question answering (MCQA) while encoding the answer int...
arXiv:2604. 03532v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) show strong multilingual capabilities, yet reliably controlling the language of their outputs remains difficult.
arXiv:2607. 00958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series are central to modern data mining applications, from industrial telemetry and server metrics to finance and physiology, yet time-series self-supervised learning often depends on view and augmentation choices that encode domain-specific invariances.
The paper introduces Spectral Transductive Refinement (STR), a training‑free method that refines class prototypes at test time using the geometry of a joint k‑nearest‑neighbour graph and a normalized‑Laplacian spectral coordinate system. STR operates solely on frozen visual embeddings, iteratively updating pseudo‑labelled queries to improve one‑shot and few‑shot classification under domain shift. Experiments on ResNet‑18 and ResNet‑10 backbones show STR outperforms single‑prototype baselines and rivals meta‑trained cross‑domain few‑shot methods, achieving the best 1‑shot average across eight target domains.
arXiv:2607. 29129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational Foundation Models (RFMs) require large-scale synthetic relational databases for pretraining, but existing approaches tightly couple data generation with the model training pipeline.
The paper introduces SCX Router, a lightweight GLiClass-based model selector that assigns suitability scores to inference-time language models without autoregressive generation. It uses a 0.6B-parameter Qwen3 decoder with a shallow bidirectional scorer, preserving a text-only key–value cache across sessions and predicting task attributes such as type, difficulty, and expected output length. The authors build a comprehensive task ontology with 23 families, 115 types, and 1,173 synthetic examples, generating 150,000 verifier-scored tasks to train the router, which outperforms baseline models on LiveBench subsets with a top‑1 score of 0.707 versus 0.696 for the strongest fixed model.
arXiv:2608. 16416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated machine learning (AutoML) systems search for pipelines within a space of preprocessing operators, learners, and hyper-parameters specified in advance: they can select and tune known components, but cannot produce structure outside that space.
