Beyond Independent Optimization: Compression, MoE Routing, and Quantization Interactions in Multimodal Edge Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 20981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints.

Transformer-based Diffusion models for Hydrological Time Series Probabilistic Imputation and Forecasting

arXiv:2607. 21200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The modeling of hydrometeorological time series with limited observations is a key challenge in the monitoring of hydro-systems and water resources, as well as for flood or drought risk assessment.

EvoSQL: Memory-Augmented Critic-Generator Co-Evolution for Text-to-SQL

arXiv:2607. 20489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL has advanced rapidly with large language models, but complex database queries still require reasoning beyond one-shot generation, including multi-step decomposition, execution-based diagnosis, and targeted correction.

X$^3$-OPD: Distilling Reasoning into Large Audio-Language Models via On-Policy Alignment

arXiv:2607. 21550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While large audio-language models have achieved remarkable progress in auditory perception, they still lag behind text-based large language models in deep logical reasoning, primarily due to the scarcity of high-quality audio reasoning data.

UnDA: Unpaired Domain Alignment for Cross-Modal Knowledge Transfer in Medical Imaging

Multimodal based approaches often outperform single modality approaches in downstream tasks as the different modalities provide complementary information, yet acquiring paired clinical data remains a significant challenge in real world scenarios. While cross-modal knowledge distillation addresses this, existing methods often struggle with large modality gaps and the propagation of noise from uncertain source-domain predictions.

Beyond Independent Optimization: Compression, MoE Routing, and Quantization Interactions in Multimodal Edge Intelligence

Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints. This paper reviews recent advances in efficient vision-language and multimodal large language models, covering visual token compression, video token management, KV-cache optimization, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing, low-bit quantization, edge deployment, and hardware-aware benchmarking.
