arXiv:2603.26786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid evolution of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by the saturation of high-quality public data, while vast amounts of diverse multimodal data remain inaccessible in privacy-sensitive silos. Federated Learning (FL) offers a…
arXiv:2603.26778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge distillation is typically realized by transferring a teacher model’s knowledge into a student’s parameters through supervised or reinforcement-based optimization. While effective, such approaches require repeated parameter updates and large-scale training data, limiting their applicability…
arXiv:2603.26775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) adapt to visual tasks via in-context learning (ICL), which relies heavily on demonstration quality. The dominant demonstration selection strategy is unsupervised k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) search. While simple, this similarity-first approach…
arXiv:2603.28141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the capabilities of in-air 3D SONAR sensors for the monitoring of road surface conditions. Concretely, we consider two applications: Road material classification and Road damage detection and classification. While such…
arXiv:2603.26800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term fluid dynamics forecasting is a critically important problem in science and engineering. While neural operators have emerged as a promising paradigm for modeling systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs), they often struggle with…
arXiv:2603.28553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instructional alignment, the match between intended cognition and enacted activity, is central to effective instruction but hard to operationalize at scale. We examine alignment in cybersecurity simulations using multimodal traces from 23 teams (76 students)…
arXiv:2603.26801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive systems increasingly span heterogeneous modalities such as graphs, language, and tabular records, but sparsity and efficiency remain modality-specific (graph edge or neighborhood sparsification, Transformer head or layer pruning, and separate tabular feature-selection pipelines). This…
arXiv:2505.11035v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) has attracted significant attention for enabling collaborative learning without exposing private data. Among the primary variants of FL, vertical federated learning (VFL) addresses feature-partitioned data held by multiple institutions, each holding complementary…
arXiv:2603.26803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a unified framework for solving both forward and inverse problems of differential equations, yet their performance and physical consistency strongly depend on how governing laws are incorporated. In this work,…
arXiv:2511.04124v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Symbolic regression (SR) models complex systems by discovering mathematical expressions that capture underlying relationships in observed data. However, most SR methods prioritize minimizing prediction error over identifying the governing equations, often producing overly complex or…
