arXiv:2607. 10391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite exposing rich intermediate representations, Vision Transformers (ViTs) are almost exclusively utilized as black-box feature extractors, where only the last layer is considered for downstream tasks.

arXiv:2606. 17567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While sequential residual fitting is the bedrock of standard boosting frameworks, it inherently breeds learner redundancy by repeatedly revisiting correlated error components.

The paper introduces DUA-D2C, a Dynamic Uncertainty-Aware Divide2Conquer method that improves overfitting remediation in deep learning. It refines the traditional Divide2Conquer approach by dynamically weighting subset models based on a composite score of accuracy and normalized prediction entropy, allowing the central model to learn more from generalizable and confident edge models. The authors provide theoretical justification, show reduced model variance, and demonstrate significant generalization gains across image, audio, and text benchmarks, even when combined with standard regularizers like Dropout.

arXiv:2606. 16050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust deep learning under heavy-tailed and impulsive noise remains challenging because conventional losses such as mean squared error (MSE) exhibit unbounded sensitivity to outliers.
