Dropout Universality: Scaling Laws and Optimal Scheduling at the Edge-of-Chaos

arXiv:2605. 21648v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop a mean-field theory of dropout as a perturbation of critical signal propagation at the edge of chaos, and show that it predicts a simple, no-cost change to standard practice: \emph{front-loaded} dropout schedules cut test loss by \(18\)--\(35\%\) over constant dropout in MLPs and Vision Transformers at fixed budget.

Profiling Privacy Preservation Against Gradient Inversion Attacks in Tabular Federated Learning

arXiv:2606. 00986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables multiple data holders to train machine learning models collaboratively without centralizing raw data, making it useful in privacy sensitive domains such as healthcare and institutional data sharing.

DREAM-S: Speculative Decoding with Searchable Drafting and Target-Aware Refinement for Multimodal Generation

arXiv:2606. 00535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding (SD) has proven to be an effective technique for accelerating autoregressive generation in large language models (LLMs) however, its application to vision-language models (VLMs) remains relatively unexplored.
