FedHFT: Efficient Federated Finetuning with Heterogeneous Edge Clients

arXiv:2510.14054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning pre-trained large language models (LLMs) has become a common practice for personalized natural language understanding (NLU) applications on downstream tasks and domain-specific datasets. However, there are two main challenges: (i) limited and/or heterogeneous data…

SOHES: Self-supervised Open-world Hierarchical Entity Segmentation

arXiv:2404.12386v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Open-world entity segmentation, as an emerging computer vision task, aims at segmenting entities in images without being restricted by pre-defined classes, offering impressive generalization capabilities on unseen images and concepts. Despite its promise, existing entity…

On the expressivity of sparse maxout networks

arXiv:2510.14068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the expressivity of sparse maxout networks, where each neuron takes a fixed number of inputs from the previous layer and employs a, possibly multi-argument, maxout activation. This setting captures key characteristics of convolutional…

SPIRIT: Patching Speech Language Models against Jailbreak Attacks

arXiv:2505.13541v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech Language Models (SLMs) enable natural interactions via spoken instructions, which more effectively capture user intent by detecting nuances in speech. The richer speech signal introduces new security risks compared to text-based models, as adversaries…

Exploratory Causal Inference in SAEnce

arXiv:2510.14073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Randomized Controlled Trials are one of the pillars of science; nevertheless, they rely on hand-crafted hypotheses and expensive analysis. Such constraints prevent causal effect estimation at scale, potentially anchoring on popular yet incomplete hypotheses. We…

Tensor Logic: The Language of AI

arXiv:2510.12269v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Progress in AI is hindered by the lack of a programming language with all the requisite features. Libraries like PyTorch and TensorFlow provide automatic differentiation and efficient GPU implementation, but are additions to Python, which…
