Scaling Neural Network Verification with Tensor Parallelism and Fully Sharded Data Parallelism

arXiv:2606. 09377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $\alpha$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator.

Subtitle-Aligned Fine-Tuning of Whisper for Swiss German ASR: Benchmark Contamination, Convention Mismatch, and an Honest Baseline at 25.6% WER (13.8% cWER)

arXiv:2606. 07608v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a systematic study of fine-tuning OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 for Swiss German ASR, using 1,367 hours of broadcast speech paired with Standard German subtitles as weak supervision.

Condition-Gated Reasoning for Context-Dependent Biomedical Question Answering

arXiv:2602. 17911v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current biomedical question answering (QA) systems often assume that medical knowledge applies uniformly, yet real-world clinical reasoning is inherently conditional: nearly every decision depends on patient-specific factors such as comorbidities and contraindications.

VideoGPA: Distilling Geometry Priors for 3D-Consistent Video Generation

arXiv:2601. 23286v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While recent video diffusion models (VDMs) produce visually impressive results, they fundamentally struggle to maintain 3D structural consistency, often resulting in object deformation or spatial drift.

TT-DAC-PS: Twin-Target Deterministic Actor-Critic with Policy Smoothing for Optimal Trade Execution

arXiv:2606. 08379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study addresses the optimal execution of large stock sell programs by introducing TT-DAC-PS (Twin-Target Deterministic Actor-Critic with Policy Smoothing), a deterministic actor-critic architecture that combines twin exponential-moving-average critic targets with pessimistic min backup, TD3-style target policy smoothing noise, delayed actor updates, and conservative Q regularisation to curb overestimation.
