The paper introduces MemMTL, a multi‑task dense prediction framework that uses a compact task state derived from global visual context and refines it via a learnable prototype memory. This refined state informs task‑conditioned expert logits, which are combined with token‑level logits and routed through a sparse top‑k selection over a shared local expert bank. A task‑agnostic residual bank offers a common adaptation path, and both paths are added to the backbone feature before task‑specific prediction. The authors outline an evaluation protocol on NYUD‑v2 and PASCAL‑Context using SAM 3 and ViT‑L backbones to assess predictive quality, computational cost, and the contributions of task‑state conditioning, prototype retrieval, and sparse routing.

arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.

arXiv:2601. 22108v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continued pretraining is optimized with fixed self-supervised tasks but selected by downstream performance, creating a coarse feedback loop in which practitioners evaluate checkpoints, change data mixtures or objectives, and restart runs, while individual updates remain blind to target capabilities.

arXiv:2607. 26924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on LeWorldModel (LeWM) has shown that the Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularizer (SIGReg) enables stable end-to-end world-model learning from pixels by regularizing the latent marginal distribution toward an isotropic Gaussian, thereby preventing representation collapse.

Frozen perception foundation models encode rich geometric, semantic, and dynamic knowledge. Yet narrow conditioning interfaces may attenuate task-relevant cues, while static fusion cannot adjust expert contributions to each scene.
arXiv:2606. 22589v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ever since the advent of foundation models and the pre-training-finetuning paradigm, there have been numerous efforts to merge multiple task-specific experts into a single multi-task model.
