Mitigating Early Training Collapse in CTR Models

arXiv:2607. 09696v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural models for click-through rate prediction often exhibit a sharp decline in validation performance immediately after the first training epoch despite continued improvement in training loss.

Demixing Sparse Signals from Nonlinear Observations using Generalized Non-convex Regularization

arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

Calibrated e-CUSUM Decoding for Quantized Reasoning Models: Why Token Log-Probability Is the Wrong Observable for Decoding Monitors

arXiv:2607. 11317v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-bit quantization makes small reasoning models inexpensive to deploy but can degrade their chains of thought.

Adaptive Model Compression (AMC): Saliency-Driven Resource Allocation for Ultra-Low-Power Transformer Inference

arXiv:2607. 10109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying large-scale transformer models on resource-constrained edge devices remains a challenge due to the high energy and memory overhead inherent in static inference, which processes simple and complex tokens with uniform intensity.

Hyper-modal Imputation Diffusion Embedding with Dual-Distillation for Federated Multimodal Knowledge Graph Completion

arXiv:2506. 22036v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: With the increasing multimodal knowledge privatization requirements, multimodal knowledge graphs in different institutes are usually decentralized, lacking of effective collaboration system with both stronger reasoning ability and transmission safety guarantees.
