LoRA, PEFT, instruction tuning and domain adaptation — adapting a pretrained model without paying to train one.
arXiv:2608. 15869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly use visual chain-of-thought (Visual CoT) to reason about spatial, temporal, and embodied environments.
arXiv:2608. 16480v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present RISE (Roadside Infrastructure Sequence Understanding and Evaluation), a framework spanning metric 3D tracking and structured vision-language reasoning in roadside sequences.
arXiv:2602. 17510v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce LoRA-CRAFT (\textbf{C}ross-layer \textbf{R}ank \textbf{A}daptation via \textbf{F}rozen \textbf{T}ucker), abbreviated CRAFT throughout, an extremely parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method that applies Tucker tensor decomposition to pre-trained attention weight matrices stacked across transformer layers and trains only small square adaptation matrices on the resulting frozen Tucker factors.
arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.
arXiv:2608. 15107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a practical framework that can train models on distributed user data while guaranteeing data privacy; however, due to heterogeneity in which each user has a different data distribution, problems frequently arise where both global and personalization performance deteriorate simultaneously.
arXiv:2608. 15976v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A learning system can occupy execution states that are indistinguishable under every declared present-behavior readout yet respond differently to future training.
Post-training with supervised chain-of-thought fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards has substantially improved the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, their application to signal processing problems remains relatively under-explored.
High-fidelity finite-element simulations can provide accurate numerical predictions for side-branch resonators, but large simulation datasets are expensive to generate and purely data-driven surrogates may become unreliable when simulation-labelled data are scarce. This study develops an analytical-prior learning framework that reuses a low-cost analytical model to improve data efficiency under limited high-fidelity simulation budgets.
Hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopy enables non-destructive estimation of plant functional traits, yet current deep learning approaches process spectra as one-dimensional sequences, which limits how they capture long-range inter-band dependencies. We asked whether transforming 1D spectra into 2D image representations improves multi-trait prediction with convolutional neural networks (CNN).
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Adverse Weather Semantic Segmentation (UDA-ASS) aims to transfer semantic knowledge from labeled normal-weather images to unlabeled adverse environments. Existing approaches implicitly assume that restoration and segmentation provide mutually beneficial guidance.
Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) spend most of their compute inside the Self-Attention operation, whose cost grows quadratically, $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$, with the number of latent tokens $n$. For the task of video generation, the token count is large, so this term dominates runtime and memory, and thereby caps the resolution and duration we can generate.
Cross-border e-commerce image translation is essential for global retail, where product images, banners, and detail pages need to be produced in different languages. Existing methods struggle to achieve accurate translation, faithful visual identity preservation, and easy-to-edit outputs, simultaneously.
In clinical motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) decoding, cross-day transferability and online operation remain two critical challenges. Hypergraphs can improve transferability by capturing higher-order sample relationships, yet existing hypergraph-based methods for online emotion recognition neglect the cross-day benefits of Riemannian geometry widely adopted in EEG transfer learning.
arXiv:2608. 13564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating language-model agents at scale increasingly relies on a second language model as an automatic judge, because the gold signal, an executable environment reward, is expensive, slow, or unavailable at deployment time.
arXiv:2608. 14094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cloud-local LLM inference systems have the potential to use the reasoning capability of large cloud models while protecting sensitive user data on personal devices.
arXiv:2608. 14264v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging combines trained models directly in weight space, offering a compute-efficient alternative to additional fine-tuning.
arXiv:2608. 14022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Action-conditioned video world models require low-latency causal generation and reliable responses to game-native controls.
arXiv:2608. 14212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models enter professional domains, they must satisfy domain constraints, include critical evidence, and provide complete reasoning rather than merely produce fluent responses.
arXiv:2608. 13833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational advertising aims to deliver useful ads within multi-turn assistant interactions.
arXiv:2607. 28125v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Numerous unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) algorithms exist, but for clinical practice, selecting the best-suited one along with proper hyperparameters often remains unclear, as the unlabeled deployment (target) domain prevents direct evaluation.
