Logit Distillation on Manifolds: Mapping by Learning

arXiv:2606. 00771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A simple way to improve the performance of almost any machine learning model is not to train a single but several models with diverse algorithms which will make slightly distinct kinds of predictions and errors on the same data, and thus improve the average predictions and robustness.

Repurposing Adversarial Perturbations for Continual Learning: From Defense to Active Alignment

arXiv:2606. 02322v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In dynamic environments, large language models need to keep adapting to new tasks, but continual learning often suffers from forgetting, limited transfer, and vulnerability to adversarial perturbations.
