The authors introduce ApproxHDC, a framework that automates the identification and application of domain-specific approximations in Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) workloads. This system extends the HPVM-HDC compiler infrastructure to enable retargetable compilation across diverse hardware backends, including CPUs, GPUs, and simulated ReRAM and PCM accelerators.
This survey integrates four disconnected tracks of adversarial evaluation—diffusion-based attacks on text and LLMs, image classifiers, vision-language models, and input purification defenses—into a single conceptual framework. It focuses on the LLM-side slice to unify vocabulary, threat models, and benchmarks around denoising diffusion as a shared generative mechanism.
Researchers propose KIRP, a zero-shot stance detection framework that addresses context sparsity and implicit target relevance in short texts by integrating external knowledge with reflective Chain-of-Thought reasoning. The study also introduces the first Japanese tweet-level dataset for stance detection to support this multi-topic evaluation.
Researchers address the quality gap in low-resource text-to-speech by fine-tuning the 2.4B-parameter VoxCPM2 model using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) on a shared corpus of Khmer and Korean.
This paper proposes a new approach to catastrophic forgetting in large language models by regularizing in activation space using pretrained Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) as a monosemantic feature dictionary, rather than relying on traditional weight-space methods like Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC).
Researchers present CAT-Q, a post-training quantization scheme that compresses large language models into ternary precision without requiring costly quantization-aware training. The method utilizes learnable modulation and softened ternarization to achieve high accuracy using only 512 calibration samples.
A user asks for experience regarding the ablation of Mandarin, Russian, and Arabic from a model to create a primarily Latin-based version. The goal is to free up space for further training or safe pruning in contexts where English has no activation.
The authors introduce SocialPersona, a benchmark designed to evaluate whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can recover revealed preferences from longitudinal social-media timelines and use them in dialogue. This work addresses the limitation of current evaluations that focus only on explicit memory by testing a model's ability to infer interests from natural multimodal traces.
This paper investigates whether safety guardrails actually require chain-of-thought reasoning by training a lightweight bidirectional encoder alongside a reasoning-based guard on the same corpus. The authors find that removing reasoning does not improve moderation accuracy, challenging the common belief that step-by-step thinking is necessary for effective moderation.
This study investigates whether merging abstract logical structures with context-level linguistic cues improves the automated classification of logical fallacies, which often appear in nuanced forms.
HyperDFlash is a block-parallel speculative decoding framework designed to address feature misalignment issues when adapting DFlash to DeepSeek-V4's multi-hyper-connection (MHC) architecture. The authors propose two key optimizations: using pre-collapse residual states for conditioning and replacing the generic linear compressor with a lightweight gated residual reducer inherited from the model's hyper-connection head.
This article investigates how language models learn latent semantic structure despite being trained with one-hot labels that theoretically eliminate shared context statistics. The authors identify a tension between Neural Collapse theory and the observed ability of models to capture categorical features like object properties.
ConvMemory v3 adds a validity context layer to detect and surface update evidence in retrieved memories through target-conditioned relation verification. This mechanism sits after the standard retrieval path and uses a dual-evidence gate to score (target, source) pairs based on specific propositions.
This work presents the first systematic analysis of evaluation pitfalls in multimedia event extraction, identifying three major sources of issues: inconsistent data processing, inconsistent task assumptions, and overly relaxed evaluation settings.
This study reproduces the results of AlphaEdit, a null-space constrained projection method for knowledge editing in language models, and extends the evaluation to newer architectures and longer sequential editing horizons. The authors confirm that AlphaEdit performs as reported within its original scope but identify significant limitations regarding generalization and scalability.
Researchers propose AIGP, a framework using Large Language Models to address interpretability and long-term objective misalignment in e-commerce dynamic pricing. The system employs supervised fine-tuning and a Long-Term Value Estimator trained via offline reinforcement learning to align pricing decisions with business goals.
The authors propose OPID, a framework that extracts skill supervision directly from completed on-policy trajectories to address the sparse reward problem in outcome-based reinforcement learning. By representing trajectory hindsight as hierarchical skills, OPID provides dense, distribution-matched token-level supervision without relying on external memory.
A computational corpus study analyzes vocabulary relationships across eight layers of Bengali and Sanskrit devotional literature from the 8th to 19th centuries, quantifying the historical claim that Buddhist Vajrayana vocabulary was absorbed into the Shakta Tantra tradition. Using TF-IDF character n-gram vectorization on 75 texts, the research provides the first quantitative corroboration of this lexical transmission chain.
The authors propose KARLA, a method enabling large language models to automatically retrieve factual knowledge from an external knowledge base during token generation. This approach allows factual updates without retraining the model and ensures that outputs are traceable to the source data.
This paper details FBK's submission to the IWSLT 2026 Instruction Following shared task, presenting SpeechLLMs designed for both short-form and long-form speech instruction following under constrained settings.
