LOTION: Smoothing the Optimization Landscape for Quantized Training

arXiv:2510.08757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing neural networks for quantized objectives is fundamentally challenging because the quantizer is piece-wise constant, yielding zero gradients everywhere except at quantization thresholds where the derivative is undefined. Most existing methods deal with this issue…

Robustness in Both Domains: CLIP Needs a Robust Text Encoder

arXiv:2506.03355v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial input attacks can cause a significant shift of CLIP embeddings. This can affect the downstream robustness of models incorporating CLIP in the pipeline, such as text-to-image generative models or large vision language models. While…

Fair Graph Machine Learning under Adversarial Missingness Processes

arXiv:2311.01591v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results in many relevant tasks where decisions might disproportionately impact specific communities. However, existing work on fair GNNs often assumes that either sensitive attributes are fully observed or…

Active Model Selection for Large Language Models

arXiv:2510.09418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce LLM SELECTOR, the first framework for active model selection of Large Language Models (LLMs). Unlike prior evaluation and benchmarking approaches that rely on fully annotated datasets, LLM SELECTOR efficiently identifies the best LLM…

SWE-Arena: An Interactive Platform for Evaluating Foundation Models in Software Engineering

arXiv:2502.01860v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs), particularly large language models (LLMs), have shown significant promise in various software engineering (SE) tasks, including code generation, debugging, and requirement refinement. Despite these advances, existing evaluation frameworks are insufficient for assessing…

DPCformer: An Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Genomic Prediction in Crops

arXiv:2510.08662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Genomic Selection (GS) uses whole-genome information to predict crop phenotypes and accelerate breeding. Traditional GS methods, however, struggle with prediction accuracy for complex traits and large datasets. We propose DPCformer, a deep learning model integrating…

FreqCa: Accelerating Diffusion Models via Frequency-Aware Caching

arXiv:2510.08669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The application of diffusion transformers is suffering from their significant inference costs. Recently, feature caching has been proposed to solve this problem by reusing features from previous timesteps, thereby skipping computation in future timesteps. However,…
