Scaling Parallel Sequence Models to Foundation-Scale Vision Encoders

arXiv:2606. 00746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision foundation models are bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which limits usable resolution and increases the cost of large-scale pretraining.

Logit Distillation on Manifolds: Mapping by Learning

arXiv:2606. 00771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A simple way to improve the performance of almost any machine learning model is not to train a single but several models with diverse algorithms which will make slightly distinct kinds of predictions and errors on the same data, and thus improve the average predictions and robustness.

UF-AMA: A unified framework for cross-domain emotion recognition via adaptive multimodal alignment

arXiv:2606. 00170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, emotion recognition based on physiological signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) has gained considerable attention, as internal physiological data offer greater objectivity and reliability compared to external behavioral data like facial expressions.

SCOPE: Signal-Calibrated On-Policy Distillation Enhancement with Dual-Path Adaptive Weighting

arXiv:2604. 10688v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: On-policy reinforcement learning has become the dominant paradigm for reasoning alignment in large language models, yet its sparse, outcome-level rewards make token-level credit assignment notoriously difficult.
