Not All Layers Are Equal: Dynamic Layer Routing for Reliable CLIP OOD Detection

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Voyager, a lightweight router that learns to select a sparse, final‑layer‑anchored expert from CLIP’s layer depth for out‑of‑distribution (OOD) detection. Using a weak OOD supervision context, Voyager outperforms state‑of‑the‑art prompt‑learning methods on three benchmarks, achieving an average FPR@95 of 18.86 on ImageNet‑1K. The router can be trained in about two minutes with less than 1 GB of memory, making it roughly 20× more efficient than existing approaches.

Learnware for CSI Feedback: Scene-specific Small Models Can Do Big

The paper proposes a Learnware-based framework for deploying scene‑specific CSI feedback models in 6G systems. A centralized AI data center maintains a catalog of pre‑trained models, each tagged with semantic and statistical specifications. Base stations retrieve the most relevant model using only statistical fingerprints, which reduces data privacy risks, lowers retrieval latency, and cuts fine‑tuning effort, achieving up to 57.7% performance gains over a general model.

Meta-Learning Where to Allocate Experts: Task-Conditioned Layer-Wise Compression for MoEs

MetaNet is a support‑set controller that predicts, for each layer of a Mixture‑of‑Experts model, an expert‑retention threshold and a bounded routing bias while keeping the backbone, experts, and router frozen. On DeepSeek‑MoE‑16B‑Chat, MetaNet offers a tunable trade‑off between accuracy and expert activation: a conservative setting activates 3.61 experts on average (40% fewer than a fixed k=6) with comparable MMLU accuracy, whereas an aggressive setting activates only 2.28 experts (62% fewer) with a modest accuracy drop. The MMLU‑trained controller also transfers to C‑Eval, activating 2.90 experts on average (52% fewer than fixed k=6) at 0.386 accuracy.

LLM Router: Rethinking Routing with Prefill Activations

arXiv:2603. 20895v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing routers rely on semantic query features or handcrafted features, which often fail to capture model-specific failures or intrinsic task difficulty.
