Scaling Trends for Lie Detector Oversight in Preference Learning

arXiv:2607. 01567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deceptive behavior in LLMs is costly to monitor and prevent, motivating approaches such as Scalable Oversight via Lie Detectors (SOLiD) (Cundy & Gleave, 2025), which uses lie detectors to identify responses for review by high-cost labelers.

An Additive MLP-GNN Framework for Characterizing Chemical and Structural Contributions to Aqueous Solubility

arXiv:2607. 02212v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aqueous solubility is a key property in early-stage drug discovery, but most predictive models merge physicochemical descriptors and molecular graph information into a single representation, obscuring whether a prediction is driven by global chemistry, molecular structure, or both.

Neuron-Aware Data Selection for Annotation-Free LLM Self-Distillation

Post-training large language models (LLMs) without real-world interaction feedback or human-labeled supervision remains challenging, particularly in specialized domains where expert annotations are costly to obtain. Recent annotation-free self-evolution methods address this by using the model's own outputs as supervision signals, constructing a teacher via additional context and aggregating predictions across multiple rollouts through majority voting to produce pseudo-labels.

One More Time: Revisiting Neural Quantum States from a Reinforcement Learning Perspective

Neural quantum states (NQS) provide a flexible and scalable framework for approximating quantum many-body wavefunctions. Among NQS parameterizations, autoregressive models are especially attractive because they enable exact, independent sampling from the Born distribution, avoiding the autocorrelation and mixing issues of Markov chain methods.

Efficient PEFT Methods with Adaptive Checkpointing for Vision Models and VLMs on Resource Constrained Consumer-GPUs

Modern pretrained vision models achieve strong accuracy but demand substantial GPU memory for fine-tuning, making edge deployment impractical. This paper compares five parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods (Full FT, LoRA, AdaLoRA, QLoRA, BitFit) on Transformers- (ViT-Small, TinyViT) and Mamba-based vision backbones (Vim-Small, MambaVision-T) under an on-device VRAM budget (e.
