The study examines whether Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models develop linguistically structured expert routing during bilingual language acquisition. Using a decoder-only English‑German MoE Transformer trained with sequential language exposure, the authors probe token‑level routing distributions and measure category‑dependent specialization via mutual information, routing entropy, and Jensen‑Shannon distance. Results show that a curriculum‑trained model peaks at a mutual information of 0.1148 at layer 5, while a no‑curriculum baseline trained on mixed data achieves a higher peak of 0.2599 at the same layer, indicating stronger aggregate specialization. Replication with a second training seed reveals that the no‑curriculum condition’s specialization focuses on a single language in a seed‑dependent way, whereas the curriculum consistently yields a stable, language‑balanced routing profile, suggesting that staged bilingual exposure reduces single‑language dominance.
We investigate whether Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models develop linguistically structured expert routing during bilingual language acquisition. Inspired by the Declarative-Procedural framework...
The paper introduces RARE, a router‑agnostic representation engineering framework for Mixture‑of‑Experts language models. RARE projects behavioral perturbations onto the null space of the router matrix to avoid affecting routing, and corrects downstream routing drift. Experiments on six open‑weight MoE models show that RARE improves steering tasks—reducing harmfulness, increasing truthfulness, and enhancing factual editing—while preserving overall model accuracy.
MoRE: Mixture of Reused Experts is a hybrid architecture that combines Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with weight‑sharing techniques. It shares expert pools across adjacent layers while each layer keeps its own router, and introduces lightweight depth embeddings to help shared experts differentiate layer contexts. Experiments on models ranging from 114 M to 1.15 B parameters show MoRE achieves lower perplexity and better downstream performance than standard MoEs and other weight‑sharing models, with only minimal changes to existing MoE implementations.
The paper introduces FedTAR, a task-aware federated fine‑tuning approach for Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) large language models. FedTAR links local client updates to task preferences using routing outputs and Singular Value Decomposition to extract low‑dimensional task coordinates and update directions. It then aggregates updates within and across task clusters, reconstructing the final update to preserve expert specialization and reduce interference, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on four benchmark tasks under non‑IID settings.
arXiv:2608. 06396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models route each token through a small subset of experts, making routing patterns useful for identifying task-relevant experts during downstream adaptation.
arXiv:2411. 00918v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture of experts (MoE) architectures have become a cornerstone for scaling up and are a key component in most large language models such as GPT-OSS, DeepSeek-V3, Llama-4, and Gemini-2.

arXiv:2606. 10338v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine unlearning is increasingly important for large language models, yet unlearning in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures remains underexplored.
arXiv:2604. 00421v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers increase model capacity by activating only a small subset of experts per token, and typically rely on a learned router to map hidden states to expert assignments.
The paper introduces Ban&Pick, a post‑training, plug‑and‑play routing strategy for Sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. It identifies and reinforces a small group of highly influential experts while dynamically pruning redundant ones, leading to accuracy gains across math, code, and reasoning benchmarks. Experiments on DeepSeek and Qwen3 show notable performance improvements and a 1.25× inference speedup without retraining or architectural changes.
