Abstract: Fixed-state recurrences--linear attention and state-space models--are reported to lag behind attention on associative recall, but whole-architecture co...

arXiv:2607. 16888v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying a medical imaging model that must later accommodate a modality it has never seen is a recurring practical problem: retraining the shared representation is expensive and destroys performance on the modalities already in service.

Abstract: Given a task described by a few examples, how should a model be specialized to it? Four mechanisms are available -- zero-shot, in-context attention,...

The paper investigates how different optimizers acquire distinct generalizing relations in single‑hidden‑layer ReLU networks. By manipulating nuisance‑connected weights and performing a strict‑parity sweep, the authors show that training conditions reshape both shared failures and relative optimizer advantages, with specific interventions improving accuracy on hard stages. The study also compares optimizer behavior across tasks and an external architecture (CIFAR‑10).

Approximate machine unlearning seeks to remove the influence of a forget set from a trained model without full retraining. Existing gradient-based methods require data-dependent hyperparameter search,...
