arXiv:2606. 13896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs) learn transferable representations from remote sensing data, but their downstream behavior is difficult to characterize.

arXiv:2502. 00213v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformers are difficult to optimize with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and largely rely on adaptive optimizers such as Adam.

arXiv:2607. 02612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision Transformers achieve strong image classification accuracy but process all image regions with nearly the same computation, even when many regions are redundant or uninformative.
By Aravind Pradeep, Samira Nazari, Mahdi Taheri, Christian Herglotz
arXiv:2607. 28658v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated pre-training offers a way to train foundation models on private or distributed data without centralizing the underlying datasets.
By Claudia Grosser, Maike Heuer, Denis Krompass, Thomas A. Runkler
arXiv:2606. 04074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive patching is a recent and compelling proposal for time-series Transformers: allocate finer patches where the sequence looks locally informative.

arXiv:2607. 21074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning Vision Transformers (ViTs) with low-rank adapters (LoRA) promises better communication efficiency under federated setup, yet existing aggregation strategies face fundamental limitations.

arXiv:2606. 26538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Transformers are composed of uniformly stacked residual blocks, yet their deepest layers often add little value.
By Huzama Ahmad, Cao Viet Hai Nam, Se-Young Yun
arXiv:2606. 10124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is often subject to aggregation variance if clients do not consistently participate in training rounds.

arXiv:2601. 22580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The success of Large Language Models (LLMs) hinges on the stable training of deep Transformer architectures.

arXiv:2606. 31859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residual connections add every sublayer's proposed update with a fixed coefficient of one; the network never evaluates whether an update is reliable before committing it.
