arXiv:2606. 19549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) makes it cheap to train many domain- and task-specific language model adapters, but whether two adapters can be merged is usually discovered only after both have been fully trained and evaluated.

arXiv:2607. 17467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot Test-Time Domain Adaptation (FSTT-DA) seeks to adapt models to novel domains using only a handful of unlabeled target samples.

arXiv:2606. 03723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) enables parameter-efficient specialization of foundation models, but the proliferation of task-specific adapters fragments capabilities across many adapters, complicating reuse and deployment.

arXiv:2606. 00357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training strong large language models (LLMs) requires high-quality supervision, which is often scarce.
