Hardware Efficient Approximate Convolution with Tunable Error Tolerance for CNNs

arXiv:2603.10100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern CNNs’ high computational demands hinder edge deployment, as traditional “hard” sparsity (skipping mathematical zeros) loses effectiveness in deep layers or with smooth activations like Tanh. We propose a “soft sparsity” paradigm using a hardware…

CLIPO: Contrastive Learning in Policy Optimization Generalizes RLVR

arXiv:2603.10101v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has significantly advanced the reasoning capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, RLVR solely relies on final answers as outcome rewards, neglecting the correctness of intermediate reasoning steps. Training…

V2M-Zero: Zero-Pair Time-Aligned Video-to-Music Generation

arXiv:2603.11042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating music that temporally aligns with video events is challenging for existing text-to-music models, which lack fine-grained temporal control. We introduce V2M-Zero, a zero-pair video-to-music generation approach that outputs time-aligned music for video. Our method…

Mamba Neural Operator: Who Wins? Transformers vs. State-Space Models for PDEs

arXiv:2410.02113v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Partial differential equations (PDEs) are widely used to model complex physical systems, but solving them efficiently remains a significant challenge. Recently, Transformers have emerged as the preferred architecture for PDEs due to their ability to…

Sequential-Parallel Duality in Prefix Scannable Models

arXiv:2506.10918v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern neural sequence models are designed to meet the dual mandate of parallelizable training and fast sequential inference. Recent developments have given rise to various models, such as Gated Linear Attention (GLA) and Mamba, that…

Mashup Learning: Faster Finetuning by Remixing Past Checkpoints

arXiv:2603.10156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finetuning on domain-specific data is a well-established method for enhancing LLM performance on downstream tasks. Training on each dataset produces a new set of model weights, resulting in a multitude of checkpoints saved in-house or…
