Prompt-Adapter Context Routing for Parameter-Efficient Multi-Shot Long Video Extrapolation

arXiv:2607. 06481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present PACR-Video, a parameter-efficient framework for multi-shot long video extrapolation that preserves recurring entities, scene structure, visual style, and causal progression without full generator fine-tuning.

Energy-Efficient GPU DVFS for Fine-Tuning of SLMs on Resource-constrained Embedded Devices

arXiv:2607. 05933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) on resource-constrained embedded GPU platforms is essential for energy-efficient small language model (SLM) fine-tuning, as privacy- and personalization-driven adaptation increasingly requires local execution and involves repeated forward-backward optimization over many mini-batches, making it substantially more time- and energy-intensive than single-pass inference.

Cross-Receiver Open-Set Radio Frequency Fingerprinting via Structure-First Adaptation

arXiv:2607. 02567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Radio frequency fingerprint identification (RFFI) provides a physical-layer credential for Internet of Things devices, but open-set decisions become fragile when a threshold calibrated on a source receiver is applied to a target receiver.

Retrieving and Refining Winning Noise Tickets for Diffusion-Based Motion Generation

Diffusion-based text-to-motion models synthesize realistic human motions but often exhibit semantic drift from the input text. Motion is inherently temporal, especially in compositional and long-duration sequences that require semantic consistency across multiple action segments and smooth kinematic transitions throughout the trajectory.

From RGB Generation to Dense Field Readout: Pixel-Space Dense Prediction with Text-to-Image Models

Large-scale text-to-image models are attractive backbones for dense prediction because RGB generation pretraining learns rich semantic, structural, and geometric priors. Existing generative and editing approaches reuse these priors by casting dense prediction as target generation: annotations such as depth, normals, alpha mattes, masks, and heatmaps are encoded into an RGB-trained VAE latent space and decoded back as image-like targets.

POPS: Recovering Unlearned Multi-Modality Knowledge in MLLMs with Prompt-Optimized Parameter Shaking

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on cross-modal tasks by jointly training on large-scale textual and visual data, where privacy-sensitive examples could be unintentionally encoded, raising concerns about privacy or copyright violation. To this end, Multi-modality Machine Unlearning (MMU) was proposed as a mitigation that can effectively force MLLMs to forget private information.

FADRA: Frequency-Aware Diffusion with Residual Adaptation for Video Face Restoration

Video face restoration (VFR) aims to recover high-quality and temporally consistent facial details from severely degraded video sequences; however, existing methods still struggle to balance spatial fidelity and temporal coherence under complex degradations. To address this, we propose FADRA, a frequency-aware diffusion framework with iterative residual adaptation specifically tailored for robust VFR.

CurateEvo: Data-Curation Evolving for Agentic Post-Training

Large language model (LLM) agents require post-training methods that can improve long-horizon decision making from environment feedback. However, existing agentic post-training pipelines often treat data curation as a fixed preprocessing step, focusing mainly on data augmentation while neglecting filtering, refinement, and adaptation to downstream failures.

Is Domain Adaptation Always Helpful? A Frozen-Backbone Study of Cross-Domain Sentiment Transfer

Sentiment analysis with frozen pre-trained language model (PLM) backbones has become a common paradigm, yet the practical benefit of explicit domain adaptation remains unclear, particularly when backbones encode varying degrees of target-domain knowledge. We present a preliminary case study evaluating a controlled family of frozen embedding backbones (Qwen3-Embedding 0.

AVA-VLM: Adaptive Visual Attention-Vision Language Model for In-the-Wild Construction Site Monitoring

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are promising for construction-site monitoring, and recent construction-tailored VLMs have primarily adapted pretrained VLMs through direct QA-style fine-tuning from a single global image. We argue that this direct paradigm remains limited for in-the-wild deployment in terms of operational range, reliability under reduced-resolution inputs, and inference efficiency.
