arXiv:2606. 19964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a logic-based machine learning approach that relies on simple bitwise operations and finite-state automata, which makes it attractive for edge AI deployments.

arXiv:2606. 26587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-bit floating-point formats and semi-structured sparsity are increasingly supported by modern accelerators, yet combining them for LLM activation compression remains challenging: activations contain input-dependent outliers that dominate block scales in FP4 quantization, and directly applying N:M sparsity masks discards moderate values, coupling sparsification loss with quantization error.

arXiv:2607. 21130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: By leveraging standard RISC-V extensions, namely Zfh (scalar float16) and Zvfh (vector float16), this work proposes an open-source framework to enable complete on-device training on resource-constrained RISC-V single-core.

arXiv:2607. 19623v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We characterize per-bit-position fault sensitivity in ML inference across 16 workloads -- spanning transformer-based models and attention-free CNNs -- and across three floating-point formats.
