arXiv:2510. 05342v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has emerged as a simple and effective method for aligning large language models.
The paper introduces SHSP, a Structure-Aware Hierarchical Solution Prediction framework for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming. SHSP replaces one-shot marginal decoding with a hierarchical conditional decoding that sequentially predicts variables based on a coupling graph derived from constraints, and includes a confidence-aware mask-and-repair step to correct errors. Experiments on four MILP benchmarks show SHSP reduces the solution gap by an average of 54% compared to existing one-shot methods.

arXiv:2607. 24516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While data curation for Vision Language Models (VLMs) is increasingly active, public practice for constructing pretraining mixtures remains largely heuristic: practitioners stack datasets that pass quality filters, set cross-domain ratios by intuition, and lack a principled, attributable criterion for admitting new data, while frontier recipes remain undisclosed.

arXiv:2606. 18627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging has emerged as a training-free alternative to multi-task learning, aiming to combine multiple task-specific fine-tuned models into a single multi-task model.
Mixture-Trained Merging (MTM) is a method for creating unified language models that combine multiple objectives—such as mathematics, code, instruction following, and controllable thinking—into a single parameter set. Instead of sequentially post‑training on each objective, MTM trains each branch on a mixture of objectives, ensuring that the branches remain compatible in weight space and can be merged without degrading performance. The approach iteratively refines merge coefficients using low‑cost evaluations and multi‑objective Bayesian optimization, outperforming naive merging and preserving distinct behaviors across domains.
