On the Convergence of Stochastic Low-Rank Adaptation

arXiv:2607. 21975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) optimizes $J(B,A)=\mathcal L(W_\mathrm{base}+sBA)$ over two adapters $B \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times r}$ and $A \in \mathbb{R}^{r \times n}$ that form a low-rank update to a frozen pretrained weight matrix $W_\mathrm{base} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$.

Neural Feature Governance: Extending Atom Prevalence

arXiv:2607. 21671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural network compression and interpretability remain open challenges in modern deep learn- ing, where billion-parameter architectures deliver impressive accuracy at the cost of trans- parency, computational efficiency, and reliable uncertainty quantification.

PathScale-R1: Cross-scale Reasoning for Pathological Image Analysis

Pathological diagnosis is inherently multi-scale, requiring the integration of global tissue architecture at low magnification with cellular morphology at higher magnification. However, existing pathology benchmarks and vision-language models (VLMs) are still largely developed under single-scale settings, limiting their ability to learn clinically meaningful multi-magnification reasoning.

Two Views, One Voice: Evidence-Grounded Conversational Music Recommendation

Traditional conversational recommenders entangle retrieval and response generation within a single text interface, so exact entity cues fade as the dialogue's intent evolves, which compromises explanation credibility. We address this within the ACM RecSys Challenge 2026, which mandates both top-20 ranking and evidence-grounded response generation.
