Robust CurveMoE: Multi-Norm Adversarial Defense for Mixture-of-Experts Models via Mode Connectivity
Robust CurveMoE is a mixture‑of‑experts framework that protects neural networks against perturbations defined by multiple norm constraints. It connects norm‑specialized models through a low‑loss path, selectively expertises only influential layers, and shares the rest of the parameters across routing paths. The method introduces contribution‑guided partial updating to reduce curve‑construction cost and provides a theoretical bound on the objective gap between partial and full optimization, achieving consistent improvements in clean, norm‑specific, and Union accuracy on CIFAR‑100 and ImageNet‑100.

Sparsity-Adaptive Sharpness-Aware Minimization
The paper introduces Sparsity-Adaptive Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SA‑SAM), a method that adjusts the perturbation radius in sharpness-aware training to remain consistent as model sparsity increases. It also evaluates a Magnitude‑Weighted Hessian (MWH) importance metric derived from second‑order analysis. Experiments on CIFAR‑10‑C, CIFAR‑100‑C, and ImageNet‑100‑C show that SA‑SAM improves corruption robustness at 80–90% sparsity while maintaining clean accuracy, and the study reports inference throughput at deployment‑relevant sparsity levels.

LiST: Lipschitz Scaling Training for Robust and Calibrated Neural Networks
arXiv:2607. 07745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While accuracy, robustness, and calibration are all essential for reliable neural networks, they are often studied separately; developing models that satisfy all three simultaneously remains a central challenge.

Learning in Curved Weight Space:Exponential-Linear Weight Reparameterization for Improved Optimization
arXiv:2607. 09967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many neural networks operations have a multiplicative nature rather than additive: halving or doubling a norm are analogous relatively but require unequal optimization distances when taking linear steps.

Leveraging Extragradient for Effective Sharpness-Aware Minimization in Deep Learning
arXiv:2607. 06151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalization remains a pivotal challenge in deep learning, where traditional optimizers like Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) often converge to sharp minima, leading to overfitting and reduced performance on unseen data.
