Extending LLM Context via Associative Recurrent Memory

arXiv:2607. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extending the context length of large language models (LLMs) is critical for many real-world applications, yet standard transformers remain constrained by quadratic compute and linear memory scaling.

Scaling Textual Gradients via Sampling-Based Momentum

arXiv:2506. 00400v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based prompt optimization, which uses LLM-provided ``textual gradients'' (feedback) to refine prompts, has emerged as an effective method for automatic prompt engineering.

Self-Guided Test-Time Training for Long-Context LLMs

arXiv:2607. 09415v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context processing has become increasingly important for large language models (LLMs), but simply extending the context window does not guarantee effective utilization of long inputs.

Hyper-ICL: Attention Calibration with Hyperbolic Anchor Distillation for Multimodal In-Context Learning

arXiv:2606. 04434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal In-Context Learning (ICL) has emerged as a practical inference paradigm for Multimodal Large Language Models, where a small set of interleaved image-text In-Context Demonstrations (ICDs) conditions the model to solve new tasks.
