arXiv:2512. 06208v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference of standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs often incurs high latency and a long initiation interval due to the deep nested loops required to densely convolve every input pixel regardless of its feature value.

arXiv:2607. 02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations.

arXiv:2606. 27802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hierarchical predictive coding provides an interpretable framework for perception as error-driven inference in multi-layer generative models, while sparse coding imposes parsimonious latent representations through explicit sparsity constraints.

Visual Prompting (VP) has emerged as an efficient paradigm for adapting large-scale pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks by incorporating learnable prompts at the input level. However, existing VP methods typically employ dense pixel-level prompts, which often suffer from redundant perturbations, limited generalization and energy inefficiency.
arXiv:2607. 20652v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models are thought to exhibit the phenomenon of superposition, representing many more features than dimensions in their residual streams.

arXiv:2607. 21985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing deployment of large language models (LLMs) has magnified the computational and memory bottlenecks of autoregressive decoding, where low compute intensity and bandwidth-bound kernels dominate inference cost.
