From Aggregation to Selection: User-Validated Distributed Social Recommendation

arXiv:2505.21388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Social recommender systems facilitate social connections by identifying potential friends for users. Each user maintains a local social network centered around themselves, resulting in a naturally distributed social structure. Recent research on distributed modeling for…

SceneFoundry: Generating Interactive Infinite 3D Worlds

arXiv:2601.05810v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The ability to automatically generate large-scale, interactive, and physically realistic 3D environments is crucial for advancing robotic learning and embodied intelligence. However, existing generative approaches often fail to capture the functional complexity of real-world interiors,…

HOSL: Hybrid-Order Split Learning for Memory-Constrained Edge Training

arXiv:2601.10940v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Split learning (SL) enables collaborative training of large language models (LLMs) between resource-constrained edge devices and compute-rich servers by partitioning model computation across the network boundary. However, existing SL systems predominantly rely on first-order (FO)…

Let the Void Be Void: Robust Open-Set Semi-Supervised Learning via Selective Non-Alignment

arXiv:2504.12569v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Open-set semi-supervised learning (OSSL) leverages unlabeled data containing both in-distribution (ID) and unknown out-of-distribution (OOD) samples, aiming simultaneously to improve closed-set accuracy and detect novel OOD instances. Existing methods either discard valuable information from uncertain…

Near-Optimal Decentralized Stochastic Nonconvex Optimization with Heavy-Tailed Noise

arXiv:2601.11435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies decentralized stochastic nonconvex optimization problem over row-stochastic networks. We consider the heavy-tailed gradient noise which is empirically observed in many popular real-world applications. Specifically, we propose a decentralized normalized stochastic gradient descent…
