NIRVANA: Structured Pruning Reimagined for Large Language Model Compression

arXiv:2509. 14230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While structured pruning presents a highly effective pathway for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference, existing methods frequently suffer from significant performance degradation and demand computationally retraining to recover capabilities.

Implicit Actor Critic Coupling via a Supervised Learning Framework for RLVR

arXiv:2509. 02522v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) have empowered large language models (LLMs) to tackle challenging reasoning tasks such as mathematics and programming, however existing RLVR methods often suffer from sparse reward signals and unstable policy gradient updates inherent to RL-based approaches.

FAME: Failure-Aware Mixture-of-Experts for Message-Level Log Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2605. 22779v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Production systems generate millions of log lines daily, yet most anomaly detectors operate at the session or window-level, flagging groups of lines rather than identifying the specific message responsible.

Spatiotemporal Knowledge Graphs as Persistent Scene Memory for Embodied Question Answering

arXiv:2510. 01483v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong image-level scene understanding, but reasoning over long egocentric video remains costly: because VLMs maintain no persistent memory or explicit spatial representation, all sampled frames must be re-processed for every new query.
