Weight Weaving: Parameter Pooling for Data-Free Model Merging

arXiv:2510.13921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging provides a cost-effective and data-efficient combination of specialized deep neural networks through parameter integration. This technique leverages expert models across downstream tasks without requiring retraining. Most model merging approaches critically depend on scaling…

Symmetry-Aware GFlowNets

arXiv:2506.02685v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) offer a powerful framework for sampling graphs in proportion to their rewards. However, existing approaches suffer from systematic biases due to inaccuracies in state transition probability computations. These biases, rooted in…

K-frames: Scene-Driven Any-k Keyframe Selection for long video understanding

arXiv:2510.13891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant capabilities in image understanding, but long-video are constrained by context windows and computational cost. Uniform frame sampling often leads to substantial information loss. Meanwhile existing keyframe selection…

Joint Discriminative-Generative Modeling via Dual Adversarial Training

arXiv:2510.13872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Simultaneously achieving robust classification and high-fidelity generative modeling within a single framework presents a significant challenge. Hybrid approaches, such as Joint Energy-Based Models (JEM), interpret classifiers as EBMs but are often limited by the instability…

Deep Edge Filter: Return of the Human-Crafted Layer in Deep Learning

arXiv:2510.13865v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Deep Edge Filter, a novel approach that applies high-pass filtering to deep neural network features to improve model generalizability. Our method is motivated by our hypothesis that neural networks encode task-relevant semantic…

Thompson Sampling via Fine-Tuning of LLMs

arXiv:2510.13328v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bayesian optimization in large unstructured discrete spaces is often hindered by the computational cost of maximizing acquisition functions due to the absence of gradients. We propose a scalable alternative based on Thompson sampling that eliminates…

LTR-ICD: A Learning-to-Rank Approach for Automatic ICD Coding

arXiv:2510.13922v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical notes contain unstructured text provided by clinicians during patient encounters. These notes are usually accompanied by a sequence of diagnostic codes following the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Correctly assigning and ordering ICD codes…

Uncertainty Quantification with the Empirical Neural Tangent Kernel

arXiv:2502.02870v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While neural networks have demonstrated impressive performance across various tasks, accurately quantifying uncertainty in their predictions is essential to ensure their trustworthiness and enable widespread adoption in critical systems. Several Bayesian uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods…
