In multi-source ECG deployment, models may need to incorporate new data sources when earlier raw ECGs cannot be retained or replayed. Freezing a pretrained backbone and assigning each source an isolated classifier prevents parameter interference, but deployment still requires selecting an expert when source metadata are unavailable.
arXiv:2608. 08853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers commonly use the same scores both to select experts and to weight their already-computed outputs.

ACE introduces a training‑free, calibration‑free framework for adaptive expert skipping in Mixture‑of‑Experts LLMs. It combines a Global Spectral Proxy that estimates global transformation capacity with a Router‑Conditioned Refinement that builds expert‑specific direction prototypes, enabling the model to skip low‑contribution experts while always keeping the top‑1 expert. Offline computation of expert statistics leaves only lightweight table lookups during inference, and experiments on three MoE‑based LLMs show ACE outperforms static and dynamic baselines, especially at high skipping ratios.

The paper investigates whether a sparse dictionary can reuse the routing decisions already made by a mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) model. Using the NR‑SAE approach, each routed expert is given a small dictionary that is opened only when the frozen router selects that expert. Experiments on Gemma 4 26B‑A4B show that the expert‑aligned autoencoder explains 51.8 % of the variance in router‑weighted expert outputs, outperforming several control variants and suggesting that the router already encodes useful information that a dictionary would otherwise need to learn.

The paper introduces GRIP, an algorithm‑agnostic framework for machine unlearning in Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. GRIP enforces hard geometric constraints on router updates, projecting gradient changes into the null space of the retain set’s routing matrix to prevent routing manipulation. Two variants—training‑time stochastic projection and post‑training analytical correction—show significant improvements in routing stability, retain accuracy, and resistance to white‑box adversarial recovery across two MoE models.

The paper investigates training‑free pruning of Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) models, focusing on how to handle the computation when a router selects a pruned expert. It compares replacement operators from three families on several models (OLMoE, DeepSeek‑V2‑Lite, Moonlight, Granite) while keeping the pruning mask fixed, and introduces a new operator called the tilted novice. The study finds that no single operator consistently dominates, with performance varying by model, pruning level, and evaluation metric, and it proposes a five‑item checklist for reporting results.

arXiv:2608. 14465v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A frozen language model on reasoning tasks has two coupled weaknesses: it under-uses evidence its own residual stream already encodes, and it fails to detect when the input is insufficient to answer, so it confabulates.

IDSISA is a new approach to machine unlearning that builds on SISA by using influence functions to group forget‑prone samples into a few shards and then distilling knowledge from unaffected shards to recover lost utility. The method retains SISA’s exact deletion guarantee while providing an empirically bounded approximation for utility recovery (ε_cert ≤ 0.015). Experiments on several image and text models show significant improvements in selective forgetting and utility retention compared to SISA, with modest changes in unlearning time.
