Just on Time: Token-Level Early Stopping for Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2602. 11133v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion language models generate text through iterative refinement, a process that is often computationally inefficient because many tokens reach stability long before the final denoising step.

Slot2Text: Object-Centric Visual Tokenization for Efficient and Spatially Traceable Surgical MLLMs

arXiv:2608. 01473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLM) for surgical scene understanding typically inject hundreds of dense visual tokens into a language model, leading to costly inference and limited spatial traceability for generated answers.

Adaptive Reconstruction of Bosonic Quantum States

arXiv:2608. 02049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bosonic quantum systems provide a hardware-efficient platform for quantum information processing but remain challenging to characterise due to their large Hilbert space and the high measurement cost of state tomography.

ProPRL: Property-Aware Prerequisite Relation Learning in Educational Knowledge Graphs

Prerequisite relation learning is central to adaptive instruction, yet existing methods often formulate it as conventional link prediction, limiting their ability to adaptively integrate complementary educational evidence for individual candidate pairs and to discourage contradictory reverse predictions. We propose ProPRL, a Property-aware Prerequisite Relation Learning framework.

ATFlash: Per-RoPE-Wavelength Attention Windows for Compute/Memory-Efficient LLM Inference

The attention score with rotary position embeddings (RoPE) decomposes exactly into a sum over its 2D-rotation frequency pairs, and each pair's wavelength limits how far it can discriminate position. Aligned with this structure, we propose the per-RoPE-wavelength distance window: it prunes the query--key inner-product terms beyond a wavelength-proportional distance.

Forecasting Revenue with its Customer-Base Drivers: When and Why Coordination Helps

Revenue forecasts guide acquisition budgets, demand planning, and customer-based valuations, yet an aggregate forecast does not show whether change reflects acquisition, repeat purchasing, spending per order, or offsetting movements. Using weekly transaction panels for 966 companies in 25 industries, the authors develop the Customer-Based Multi-task Transformer (CBMT), which learns shared structure, retains separate primitive forecasts, and aligns their combination with downstream revenue.
