Deep Repurposing (DR) is a post‑hoc framework that adapts deep neural networks when parts of their output space become obsolete after deployment. DR estimates the latent geometry of obsolete and retained regions, removes components that support obsolete outputs, and reallocates retained-compatible evidence through an analytic repair map without gradient updates. The method yields repaired predictions and representations that eliminate obsolete outputs while preserving or improving retained accuracy, and it adapts up to 60× faster than competing unlearning methods.

Certified Circuits introduces a framework that wraps any black‑box circuit discovery algorithm with randomized data subsampling to provide provable stability guarantees. By certifying that inclusion decisions over circuit components are invariant to bounded edit‑distance perturbations of the concept dataset, unstable components are abstained from, producing more compact and accurate mechanistic explanations. Across ResNet, ViT, and GPT‑2 on vision and language tasks, Certified Circuits achieves up to 56% higher accuracy and up to 80% fewer components, maintaining reliability where baseline methods degrade.

The paper introduces Adaptive Dual-Teacher Distillation with Subnetwork Rectification (DDSR), a method for black-box domain adaptation that fuses predictions from a black-box source model and a vision‑language model to generate reliable pseudo‑labels for the target domain. DDSR uses adaptive prediction fusion, subnetwork regularization to prevent overfitting, iterative refinement of pseudo‑labels and prompts, and class‑wise prototypes for self‑training. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that DDSR outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art approaches, even those that have access to source data or source model parameters.

arXiv:2606. 18923v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Programmability is a missing first-class interface in fixed-tensor neural networks: editing a relation, freezing a subgraph, auditing a local function, or changing the execution backend should be an operation on the neural program rather than ad-hoc parameter surgery.

arXiv:2608. 15694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional image-to-image generators are single-shot: they map input features to an output in one forward pass and treat it as final, with no opportunity to improve on it.

arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.
