Compression-Aware Abstention: Teaching LLMs to Refuse When KV-Compression Masks Remove Answer Evidence

This is the first work to formulate compression-aware abstention as a learning problem, in which a model learns to answer when supporting evidence survives compression and abstain when it does not, and controlled-deletion experiments show that the learned behavior is driven by evidence content rather than input length alone.

Towards Continual Test-Time Adaptation of Vision-Language Models in Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation

Diversify, Anchor, and Filter (DAF), a stabilization framework that augments entropy-based adaptation with a marginal diversity loss that resists collapse, a cross-modal anchor consistency loss that constrains feature drift relative to a frozen source model, and feature salience filtering that skips low-value backward passes to offset part of the source-anchor overhead is proposed.

Continual Test-Time Adaptation via Entropy Sensitivity-Guidance in Strict Online Setting

Sensitivity-Guided Erasing Adaptation (SEGA) is introduced, a method for strict online continual TTA (CTTA) on corruption-style streams that yields consistent robustness and stability gains over strong CTTA baselines while reducing backward passes through sensitivity-based gating.

Influence-Directed Distillation: Solving the Diversity Bottleneck in Sampled-Token On-Policy Distillation

Experiments show Influence-Directed Adaptive On-Policy Distillation (IDA-OPD), rather than relying on costly full-vocabulary Forward-KL objectives, preserves entropy-expanding updates while replacing entropy-contracting ones with divergence-adaptive advantage shrinkage, using only the teacher's sampled-token log-probability.

The Price of Intelligence: A Quality-Adjusted Price Index for AI Services

This paper constructs quality-adjusted price indices for the AI inference market from public data and assembles 21,024 posted-price observations across 3,208 models and 86 providers and joins them to 4,605 benchmark scores through a latent quality index estimated from benchmark response patterns.

A Unified Perspective on Conformal Prediction and Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Optimization for Uncertainty Quantification

A unified probabilistic perspective on CP and DRO is developed by viewing both as ways to turn finite calibration data into a data-dependent quantile estimator that a test score falls below with high probability.

Neural ODE enhanced linear mixed effect models for estimating complex association patterns of time-varying covariates with the marker trajectory

The Neural ODE-LMM is proposed, which embeds a Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (Neural ODE) within the linear mixed-effects framework: a learned vector field encodes covariate trajectories into a continuous-time latent state that drives both the fixed- and random-effect design, while preserving the standard LMM observation model.

Transformer-Based Flow Shop Scheduling Using MILP-Generated Training Data

The study concludes that transformer models can, to some extent, learn patterns from MILP-optimized non-permutation flow shop schedules and that transformer-based scheduling represents an interesting direction for future research, particularly in settings with a fixed, recurring job set.

Forward-Deployed Full-Stack Engineering for Autonomous Cloud MLOps

This work presents an evidence-gated multi-agent framework for transforming a natural-language MLOps cloud engineering task into a verified repository and operational cloud deployment and results show that the framework prevents unsupported lifecycle transitions and drives each run toward either a verified operational deployment or an auditable terminal failure.

Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows

Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
