Quantization, distillation, pruning and serving work aimed at the same accuracy for less memory, latency and money.
arXiv:2606. 28357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal recommenders excel at feature fusion but remain opaque and inefficient decision-makers, lacking explicit reasoning and self-awareness of uncertainty.
arXiv:2606. 30383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A rapidly growing class of LLM agents is multi-party: the agent acts for a principal (who briefs it, sends follow-ups, and receives results) while also conversing in a separate channel with a counterparty whose interests may diverge (negotiating with a vendor, screening inbound requests, or mediating between employees).
Modern large-scale LLM pretraining benefits from utilizing Pipeline Parallelism; however, synchronous implementations leave GPUs idle during pipeline bubbles, wasting computational resources. Asynchronous Pipeline Parallelism eliminates these bubbles, maximizing throughput at the cost of gradient staleness.
Dual-energy CT (DECT) exploits attenuation differences across different X-ray spectra to provide richer material information and has been widely used in medical imaging. While sparse-view acquisition can lower radiation exposure, it makes DECT material decomposition even more challenging, as the problem is nonlinear and ill-posed.
Embodied agents are typically built as hand-designed compositions of perception, memory, planning, and action modules. This modularity exposes a large architectural design space, but current systems still rely on researcher intuition to choose where information is stored, how observations are processed, and how model calls are connected.
We introduce Neural Subspace Reallocation (NSR), which reframes continual learning as memory management over parameter subspaces. Instead of treating Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules as disposable per-task adapters, NSR manages them as compressible, retrievable memory units on a frozen backbone through a recurring cycle: (1) compress learned LoRAs via SVD, (2) reserve them in a TaskKnowledgeBank, (3) recall related past LoRAs by embedding similarity to warm-start new or returning tasks, and (4) reallocate the active subspace accordingly, with distillation protecting prior tasks.
Color Fundus Photography (CFP) offers a low-cost and non-invasive route for ischemic heart disease (IHD) screening, but current studies are limited by scarce public benchmarks and ineffective fusion of retinal images with sparse clinical variables. We propose IDNet, a multimodal framework with a Cross-Modal Distillation Aggregator (CDA) that uses learnable queries to sequentially integrate left-eye, right-eye, and clinical features, mitigating the imbalance between high-dimensional visual features and low-dimensional tabular inputs.
Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting have demonstrated unprecedented success in novel view synthesis. However, the substantial inference and storage overhead driven by high-order Spherical Harmonics (SH) are primary bottlenecks for mobile platforms.
Atomistic machine learning datasets are increasingly used for training: large immutable snapshots are read repeatedly, shuffled across epochs, staged across clusters' storage systems, and republished as reusable scientific artifacts. This workload differs from interactive scientific curation, where mutable records and ad hoc inspection are often more important than random indexed throughput.
Score distillation turns a pretrained 2D diffusion model into a 3D generator, but the per-step gradient is estimated from a single randomly chosen view: it is high-variance and blind to global shape consistency. Prior work addresses this by retraining the diffusion prior on multi-view data; this improves consistency but makes the sampling contribution inseparable from prior quality.
Knowledge distillation (KD) is a key technique for compressing Large Language Models (LLMs), yet methods relying on a single KL objective often fail to balance primary distribution fitting with long-tail probability modeling, limiting both generation quality and generalization. To address this, we analyze the complementary roles of forward and reverse KL divergence (FKL/RKL) in distribution alignment from theoretical and empirical perspectives.
Dataset distillation (DD) condenses large corpora into compact, information-rich subsets for efficient training and reuse. However, under noisy supervision, DD risks condensing corrupted associations together with useful signals, degrading robustness.
