From Haystack to Needle: Label Space Reduction for Zero-shot Classification

arXiv:2502.08436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Label Space Reduction (LSR), a novel method for improving zero-shot classification performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). LSR iteratively refines the classification label space by systematically ranking and reducing candidate classes, enabling the…

Towards Interpretable and Efficient Attention: Compressing All by Contracting a Few

arXiv:2509.16875v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Attention mechanisms have achieved significant empirical success in multiple fields, but their underlying optimization objectives remain unclear yet. Moreover, the quadratic complexity of self-attention has become increasingly prohibitive. Although interpretability and efficiency are two mutually…

EraseFlow: Learning Concept Erasure Policies via GFlowNet-Driven Alignment

arXiv:2511.00804v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Erasing harmful or proprietary concepts from powerful text to image generators is an emerging safety requirement, yet current “concept erasure” techniques either collapse image quality, rely on brittle adversarial losses, or demand prohibitive retraining cycles.…

FedRef: Communication-Efficient Bayesian Fine-Tuning using a Reference Model

arXiv:2506.23210v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) collaboratively trains artificial intelligence (AI) models to ensure user data privacy. Sharing only model updates generated from local training on client data with the server enhances user data privacy. However, model performance…

Inference-Time Personalized Alignment with a Few User Preference Queries

arXiv:2511.02966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of aligning a generative model’s response with a user’s preferences. Recent works have proposed several different formulations for personalized alignment; however, they either require a large amount of user preference queries…
