Robust-U1: Can MLLMs Self-Recover Corrupted Visual Content for Robust Understanding?

arXiv:2606. 08063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in visual understanding, yet their performance degrades significantly under real-world visual corruptions.

Label-Conditioned Cross-Modal Fusion for Adult-to-Pediatric ECG Transfer via Curriculum-Gated Contrastive Alignment

arXiv:2605. 00647v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Automated pediatric electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation remains challenging because developmental differences in heart rate, intervals, and waveforms limit the transferability of models trained mainly on adult data, while expert-labeled pediatric ECG cohorts are scarce.

Automated IEP Generation from Traditional Chinese Parent-Teacher Interviews via Corpus-Grounded Feature Diffusion

Writing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) is a high-labor, knowledge-intensive document burden; English-language research has demonstrated that generative AI can significantly reduce drafting time, yet automated IEP generation in Traditional Chinese remains virtually unexplored due to domain data scarcity, strict privacy regulations, and the absence of local evaluation benchmarks. We propose a low-resource fine-tuning pipeline centered on Corpus-Grounded Feature Diffusion (CGFD): (1) 25 dual-expert high-score seed transcripts are selected via a tau threshold with flag-aware score caps; (2) a FeatureProfile (sentence length, structure, quantification templates) is extracted from seeds and injected into LLM prompts alongside Verbalized-Sampling-style diversity control to drive diffusion; (3) 15 expert gold seeds are used as diffusion anchors, targeting 585 samples; 567 valid diffusion samples are obtained, yielding a 582-sample training set used to fine-tune Breeze-7B with QLoRA; (4) schema-constrained inference via Grammar-Constrained Decoding (GCD) enforces a hierarchical SMART Goal Ladder schema at inference time.

Conan-embedding-v3: Fusing Modality-Specific Models for Omni-Modal Embedding

Omni-modal retrieval promises a single embedding space for text, image, video, document, and audio inputs, but building such a unified retriever is difficult since these modalities differ in data distribution, architecture, and optimization dynamics. In this work, we present Conan-embedding-v3, a decouple--fuse--recover framework for omni-modal retrieval.

Closed-Form Spectral Regularization for Multi-Task Model Merging

arXiv:2606. 07289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging combines several independently fine-tuned experts into a single multi-task model without any training data, reducing the storage, serving, and decentralized-development costs of large foundation models.
