Entropy Centroids as Intrinsic Rewards for Test-Time Scaling

arXiv:2604.26173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An effective way to scale up test-time compute of large language models is to sample multiple responses and then select the best one, as in Grok Heavy and Gemini Deep Think. Existing selection methods often…

Domain-Adapted Small Language Models for Reliable Clinical Triage

arXiv:2604.26766v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate and consistent Emergency Severity Index (ESI) assignment remains a persistent challenge in emergency departments, where highly variable free-text triage documentation contributes to mistriage and workflow inefficiencies. This study evaluates whether open-source small language models…

SWAN: World-Aware Adaptive Multimodal Networks for Runtime Variations

arXiv:2604.26181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal deep neural networks deployed in realistic environments must contend with runtime variations: changes in modality quality, overall input complexity, and available platform resources. Current networks struggle with such fluctuations — adaptive networks cannot adhere…

MoRFI: Monotonic Sparse Autoencoder Feature Identification

arXiv:2604.26866v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) acquire most of their factual knowledge during the pre-training stage, through next token prediction. Subsequent stages of post-training often introduce new facts outwith the parametric knowledge, giving rise to hallucinations. While…

The Alignment Flywheel: A Governance-Centric Hybrid MAS for Architecture-Agnostic Safety

arXiv:2603.02259v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent systems provide mature methodologies for role decomposition, coordination, and normative governance, capabilities that remain essential as increasingly powerful autonomous decision components are embedded within agent-based systems. While learned and generative models substantially expand system…

FedSLoP: Memory-Efficient Federated Learning with Low-Rank Gradient Projection

arXiv:2604.24012v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning enables a population of clients to collaboratively train machine learning models without exchanging their raw data, but standard algorithms such as FedAvg suffer from slow convergence and high communication and memory costs in…
