SMOPD: Selective Token-Entropy Masking for Dirty-History Multi-Turn On-Policy Self-Distillation

arXiv:2608. 14647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dirty-history rollouts make multi-turn on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) brittle: once a student emits an erroneous intermediate reply, later turns are conditioned on that reply, and uniform distillation can spend loss on tokens that carry little corrective signal.

A Unified Geometric Framework for Developmental Analysis of Spatial Transcriptomic Data

arXiv:2608. 15306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-throughput single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies provide high-resolution snapshots of heterogeneous cellular states, but their destructive nature prevents repeated measurements of the same cells over time.

An Analytical-Prior Framework for Data-Efficient Prediction of Sound-Reduction Frequencies in Rectangular Side-Branch Helmholtz Resonators

High-fidelity finite-element simulations can provide accurate numerical predictions for side-branch resonators, but large simulation datasets are expensive to generate and purely data-driven surrogates may become unreliable when simulation-labelled data are scarce. This study develops an analytical-prior learning framework that reuses a low-cost analytical model to improve data efficiency under limited high-fidelity simulation budgets.

VicEdit: Learning to Edit Videos from Visual In-Context Examples

Despite progress in instruction-based video editing, unimodal textual instructions inherently struggle to convey fine-grained textures and complex dynamics. To bridge this perceptual gap, we propose Visual In-context Editing, a new paradigm elevating video editing from textual instructions to multi-modal visual guidance encompassing single image, image pair, and video pair.

Every Coin Has Two Sides: On the Dual Nature of Generalization in On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models

On-policy distillation (OPD) transfers teacher capabilities by supervising trajectories sampled from the student's own policy, yet its generalization behavior remains poorly understood, as most studies evaluate OPD on a single domain and on benchmarks close to the training data. We present a controlled study that varies one generalization factor at a time, from in-domain distribution shifts to cross-domain transfer and the multi-teacher setting.

SQuad: Sub-Quadratic Attention Distillation for Efficient Video Generation

Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) spend most of their compute inside the Self-Attention operation, whose cost grows quadratically, $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$, with the number of latent tokens $n$. For the task of video generation, the token count is large, so this term dominates runtime and memory, and thereby caps the resolution and duration we can generate.

Pallas: A Proactive KV Cache Migration Framework for LLM Inference in AI-RAN

AI-RAN brings large language model (LLM) serving close to mobile users, but cellular handover can separate an active request from its inference state: the user attaches to a target base station (gNB) while the large and growing key-value (KV) cache remains at the source. Retaining inference at the source preserves service continuity but persistently increases inter-token latency (ITL), whereas recovering the state at the target restores serving locality but requires KV-cache transfer, recomputation, or a combination of both only after handover, directly prolonging service interruption time (SIT).

TransAnyText: Translating Arbitrary Text in E-commerce Images via Structured Visual Generation

Cross-border e-commerce image translation is essential for global retail, where product images, banners, and detail pages need to be produced in different languages. Existing methods struggle to achieve accurate translation, faithful visual identity preservation, and easy-to-edit outputs, simultaneously.
