arXiv:2607. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extending the context length of large language models (LLMs) is critical for many real-world applications, yet standard transformers remain constrained by quadratic compute and linear memory scaling.
arXiv:2607. 11289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Backpropagation is the computational engine of deep learning, yet its mathematical structure is typically treated as a procedural traversal of computational graphs.
arXiv:2510. 08233v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) are promising alternatives to autoregressive large language models (AR-LLMs), as they potentially allow higher inference throughput.

arXiv:2506. 20893v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we reveal a significant shortcoming in class unlearning evaluations: overlooking the underlying class geometry can cause information leakage about the forgotten class.
arXiv:2512. 19733v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Molecular structure elucidation from spectroscopic data is a long-standing challenge in Chemistry, traditionally requiring expert interpretation.
arXiv:2601. 07155v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a widely adopted technique for transferring knowledge from large language models to smaller student models; however, conventional supervised KD often suffers from a distribution mismatch between training and inference.
arXiv:2604. 22823v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) rely on multimodal pre-training over diverse data sources, where different datasets often induce complementary cross-modal alignment capabilities.
arXiv:2607. 09957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This report studies on-device English-to-Traditional-Chinese subtitle translation for Taiwan under short inputs, short outputs, batch-size-one inference, low latency, and privacy constraints.
arXiv:2607. 10601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents are commonly trained from expert trajectories using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), which treats multi-turn agent behavior as ordinary text imitation.
arXiv:2607. 10750v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic data is widely used to train large language models because it is inexpensive to generate and easy to control.
arXiv:2607. 09757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has become a cornerstone of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT); however, the conventional practice of uniform rank assignment ignores the functional heterogeneity of neural layers.
arXiv:2607. 10172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying billion-parameter Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models on industrial hardware requires fine-tuning to bridge the embodiment gap.
arXiv:2607. 11843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are a promising framework for quantum machine learning on near-term quantum devices, but their security risks remain insufficiently understood.
arXiv:2607. 10366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline-trained surrogates for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) suffer a well-known failure mode that iterative optimizers drive inputs into out-of-distribution (OOD) regions where predictions become unreliable.
arXiv:2506. 21833v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Forward-mode automatic differentiation (FmAD) and zero-order (ZO) optimization are increasingly proposed as memory-efficient, backpropagation-free alternatives for large language model (LLM) fine-tuning, yet their benefits are typically evaluated only against standard backpropagation (BP), omitting memory-efficient variants such as activation checkpointing.
arXiv:2607. 10299v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large-scale multimodal models have drivenremarkable progress in vision-language tasks; however, comprehensiveomni-modal understanding remains under-explored, largely due to thescarcity of datasets with rich, explicitly aligned auditory cues.
arXiv:2604. 00878v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Actor-level stance detection aims to determine an author expressed position toward specific geopolitical actors mentioned or implicated in a text.
arXiv:2607. 10517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering offers a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning for controlling large language models at inference time.
