Balancing Synthetic Data and Replay for Enhancing Task-Specific Capabilities

arXiv:2510.11842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adapting language models to new tasks through continued pretraining faces a fundamental trade-off: models must learn new capabilities while avoiding catastrophic forgetting of existing knowledge. While prior work has studied synthetic data generation techniques, the…

Evaluating Open-Source Vision-Language Models for Multimodal Sarcasm Detection

arXiv:2510.11852v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in open-source vision-language models (VLMs) offer new opportunities for understanding complex and subjective multimodal phenomena such as sarcasm. In this work, we evaluate seven state-of-the-art VLMs – BLIP2, InstructBLIP, OpenFlamingo, LLaVA, PaliGemma, Gemma3,…

Don’t Walk the Line: Boundary Guidance for Filtered Generation

arXiv:2510.11834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models are increasingly paired with safety classifiers that filter harmful or undesirable outputs. A common strategy is to fine-tune the generator to reduce the probability of being filtered, but this can be suboptimal: it…

WaveletDiff: Multilevel Wavelet Diffusion For Time Series Generation

arXiv:2510.11839v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series are ubiquitous in many applications that involve forecasting, classification and causal inference tasks, such as healthcare, finance, audio signal processing and climate sciences. Still, large, high-quality time series datasets remain scarce. Synthetic generation…

Z0-Inf: Zeroth Order Approximation for Data Influence

arXiv:2510.11832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A critical aspect of analyzing and improving modern machine learning systems lies in understanding how individual training examples influence a model’s predictive behavior. Estimating this influence enables critical applications, including data selection and model debugging;…

Actor-Enriched Time Series Forecasting of Process Performance

arXiv:2510.11856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) is a key task in Process Mining that aims to predict future behavior, outcomes, or performance indicators. Accurate prediction of the latter is critical for proactive decision-making. Given that processes are…
