The paper introduces QK Product Steering, a data‑free, training‑free method that edits the query‑key product in vision‑language models to reduce object hallucination. By suppressing a few dominant singular modes in selected middle layers and mapping the edited product back to query weights, the approach lowers hallucination rates without affecting inference cost. Experiments on three GQA‑based VLMs show a 4.0% average reduction in CHAIR$_s$, with the effect localized to symmetric mutual‑attention channels.

The paper introduces DARTS, a method for tuning decoder representations during model merging. It addresses representation bias in autoregressive decoders by using an entropy‑weighted L1 loss and a per‑position additive bias to correct errors that accumulate across token positions. Experiments on code generation, mathematical reasoning, and instruction following with Llama‑2‑7B show that DARTS improves performance over standard surgery while adding only 0.1% extra parameters.

VQ-Transplant is a framework that allows new vector‑quantization (VQ) modules to be inserted into frozen, pre‑trained visual tokenizers without retraining the entire model. By preserving all encoder‑decoder parameters and adding a lightweight decoder adaptation trained for only five epochs on ImageNet‑1k, the method mitigates decoder‑quantization mismatch. Experiments show that VQ-Transplant achieves near state‑of‑the‑art reconstruction fidelity for industry‑level models such as VAR while cutting training costs by 95%.

arXiv:2601. 11641v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved notable progress in video generation, this long-sequence generation task remains constrained by the quadratic complexity inherent to self-attention mechanisms, creating significant barriers to practical deployment.
