• Private LLM Inference on Consumer Blackwell GPUs: A Practical Guide for Cost-Effective Local Deployment in SMEs \ SMEs increasingly seek alternatives to cloud LLM APIs, which raise data privacy concerns. Dedicated cloud GPU instances offer improved privacy but with limited guarantees and ongoing costs, while professional on-premise hardware (A100, H10… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 15:49
• Bench360: Benchmarking Local LLM Inference from 360 Degrees \ Running LLMs locally has become increasingly common, but users face a complex design space across models, quantization levels, inference engines, and serving scenarios. Existing inference benchmarks are fragmented and focus on isolated goa… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 09:53
• Autofocus Retrieval: An Effective Pipeline for Multi-Hop Question Answering With Semi-Structured Knowledge \ In many real-world settings, machine learning models and interactive systems have access to both structured knowledge, e.g., knowledge graphs or tables, and unstructured content, e.g., natural language documents. Yet, most rely on either. … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 15:49
• Lens: A Knowledge-Guided Foundation Model for Network Traffic \ Network traffic refers to the amount of data being sent and received over the Internet or any system that connects computers. Analyzing network traffic is vital for security and management, yet remains challenging due to the heterogeneity … \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 15:09
• Linear Complexity Self-Supervised Learning for Music Understanding with Random Quantizer \ In recent years, foundation models have become very popular due to their exceptional performance, mainly in natural language (NLP) tasks where they were first introduced. These models usually consist of hundreds of millions, or even billio… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 17:23
• Improving Symbolic Translation of Language Models for Logical Reasoning \ The use of formal language for deductive logical reasoning aligns well with language models (LMs), where translating natural language (NL) into first-order logic (FOL) and employing an external solver results in a verifiable and therefore … \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 13:47
• LLM-Based Emulation of the Radio Resource Control Layer: Towards AI-Native RAN Protocols \ Integrating Large AI Models (LAMs) into 6G mobile networks is a key enabler of the AI-Native Air Interface (AI-AI), where protocol intelligence must scale beyond handcrafted logic. This paper presents, to our knowledge, the first standards… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 19:50
• PersonalAlign: Hierarchical Implicit Intent Alignment for Personalized GUI Agent with Long-Term User-Centric Records \ While GUI agents have shown strong performance under explicit and completion instructions, real-world deployment requires aligning with users' more complex implicit intents. In this work, we highlight Hierarchical Implicit Intent Alignment… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 18:12
• Do Sparse Autoencoders Identify Reasoning Features in Language Models? \ We investigate whether sparse autoencoders (SAEs) identify genuine reasoning features in large language models (LLMs). We first show through a simple theoretical analysis that $\ell_1$-regularized SAEs are intrinsically biased toward low-d… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 16:46
• Graph Neural Network Surrogates to leverage Mechanistic Expert Knowledge towards Reliable and Immediate Pandemic Response \ During the COVID-19 crisis, mechanistic models have guided evidence-based decision making. However, time-critical decisions in a dynamical environment limit the time available to gather supporting evidence. We address this bottleneck by de… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 16:26
• e-Profits: A Business-Aligned Evaluation Metric for Profit-Sensitive Customer Churn Prediction \ Retention campaigns in customer relationship management often rely on churn prediction models evaluated using traditional metrics such as AUC and F1-score. However, these metrics fail to reflect financial outcomes and may mislead strategic… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 16:22
• Know Yourself Better: Diverse Object-Related Features Improve Open Set Recognition \ Open set recognition (OSR) is a critical aspect of machine learning, addressing the challenge of detecting novel classes during inference. Within the realm of deep learning, neural classifiers trained on a closed set of data typically stru… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 14:21
