LoRA, PEFT, instruction tuning and domain adaptation — adapting a pretrained model without paying to train one.
arXiv:2607. 13416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automating analog circuit topology design is essential to reduce the extensive manual effort required to meet increasingly diverse and customized application demands.
arXiv:2607. 13162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone.
arXiv:2607. 13330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based text-to-audio generative models such as AudioLDM achieve high perceptual quality and strong semantic consistency; however, their practical deployment is hindered by the substantial computational cost of the U-Net denoising backbone.
arXiv:2502. 16167v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models (DMs) have advanced text-to-image (T2I) synthesis, yet their personalization capabilities raise serious privacy and copyright concerns.
arXiv:2607. 13044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The European Patent Office (EPO) reported record filings in 2025, and the 2026 EPO Guidelines hold applicants strictly responsible for LLM-assisted content under Article 83 and Rule 42, creating pressure to triage suspected AI-generated patent text.
arXiv:2607. 13319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-speed off-road autonomy requires precise closed-loop control for a target vehicle while remaining robust across changing terrains.
arXiv:2607. 13425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning effectively from limited data is critical in domains like security where labeled examples are scarce.
arXiv:2607. 14070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Genomic foundation models such as Evo 2 learn rich sequence representations, but their value for biosecurity screening is largely unexplored.
Federated fine-tuning of large pre-trained models increasingly relies on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to reduce communication and computation, but heterogeneous clients can make adapter aggregation unstable. We identify the data-parameter interference as a geometric source of this instability.
Vision Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate strong perceptual abilities but remain limited in tasks requiring analytical reasoning across multiple visual states, such as multi-image comparison, change detection, and multi-step visual inference. These capabilities are critical for real-world multimodal applications where reasoning must be grounded in systematic differences between visual contexts.
Robust and accurate neural decoders are integral to neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces and closed-loop experiments. Recent work has shown that tokenizing neural data at the spike level facilitates multi-session pretraining and delivers state-of-the-art decoding performance.
Single-task fine-tuning of graph neural networks (GNNs) for power grid problems exhibits a systematic failure mode: models that achieve the lowest in-distribution error degrade the most under topology shift. We term this topology overfitting: the tendency of task-specific gradient signals to encode relational structure particular to the training topologies rather than the underlying physics, causing models to fail on unseen grids despite strong in-distribution performance.
The rapid deployment of machine learning systems across cloud, edge, and enterprise environments has brought model optimization to the forefront of systems-engineering. Despite a rich literature spanning quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), and inference-time optimization, practitioners are often left navigating these techniques through heuristics rather than principled methodology.
We built a compact convolutional network (1. 11 M parameters) for 46-class DHCD Devanagari recognition and reached 99.
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has been shown to have limitations in its fine-grained dense feature representation, due to its pre-training focusing on matching the whole image to a text description. Considering the large data and computational burden in pre-training a vision-language model from scratch, a series of works aim to enhance the fine-grained ability of CLIP through a fine-tuning scheme.
Sampling multiple solutions and returning the majority answer is among the most reliable ways to improve the reasoning accuracy of large language models without labels, and a growing family of methods converts this consensus signal into training supervision. However, existing approaches use consensus only in restricted forms: as a filter that selects solutions for fine-tuning, as a preference between answers, or as a scalar reward for reinforcement learning, discarding most of the information that the agreeing solutions contain.
While traditional graphics methods often synthesize 3D indoor scenes autoregressively or hierarchically, recent vision-language model (VLM)-based generators predominantly adopt a one-shot paradigm where the full layout is planned at once. This one-shot approach often requires global re-optimization or complete reconstruction during interactive editing (e.
arXiv:2505. 12682v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly released under restricted licenses, creating a growing need for robust model ownership verification.
