Resonant Context Anchoring: Decoupling Attention Routing and Signal Gain at Inference Time

arXiv:2606. 01923v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently exhibit "contextual disregard" when faced with input evidence that conflicts with their internal parametric memory, leading to persistent factual hallucinations.

DASH: Dual-Branch Score Distillation for Guidance-Calibrated Compact Diffusion Models

arXiv:2606. 00798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter compression of class-conditional diffusion models reveals an underexplored limitation in output-level distillation: the unconditional score branch remains unsupervised, leaving the classifier-free guidance gap underdetermined in the student.

Multi-Rollout On-Policy Distillation via Peer Successes and Failures

arXiv:2605. 12652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are often post-trained with sparse verifier rewards, which indicate whether a sampled trajectory succeeds but provide limited guidance about where reasoning succeeds or fails.

Adversarial Dual On-Policy Distillation from Expressive Teacher

arXiv:2605. 27095v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning from demonstrations in embodied control is often cast as behavioral cloning, and recent diffusion or flow-matching policies improve this paradigm by modeling multi-modal expert actions.
