📄 HuggingFace Papers 8

RDP LoRA: Geometry-Driven Identification for Parameter-Efficient Adaptation in Large Language Models [3]
Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) remains structurally uncertain despite parameter-efficient methods such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), as the layer-specific roles of internal representations are poorly…
arXiv
Micro Language Models Enable Instant Responses [4]
Edge devices such as smartwatches and smart glasses cannot continuously run even the smallest 100M-1B parameter language models due to power and compute constraints, yet cloud inference introduces multi-second latencies…
arXiv
CityRAG: Stepping Into a City via Spatially-Grounded Video Generation [5]
We address the problem of generating a 3D-consistent, navigable environment that is spatially grounded: a simulation of a real location. Existing video generative models can produce a plausible sequence that is…
arXiv
What Makes an LLM a Good Optimizer? A Trajectory Analysis of LLM-Guided Evolutionary Search [6]
Recent work has demonstrated the promise of orchestrating large language models (LLMs) within evolutionary and agentic optimization systems. However, the mechanisms driving these optimization gains remain poorly…
arXiv
MoVE: Translating Laughter and Tears via Mixture of Vocalization Experts in Speech-to-Speech Translation [7]
Recent Speech-to-Speech Translation (S2ST) systems achieve strong semantic accuracy yet consistently strip away non-verbal vocalizations (NVs), such as laughter and crying that convey pragmatic intent, which severely…
arXiv
Accurate and scalable exchange-correlation with deep learning [8]
Density Functional Theory (DFT) underpins much of modern computational chemistry and materials science. Yet, the reliability of DFT-derived predictions of experimentally measurable properties remains fundamentally…
arXiv
AJ-Bench: Benchmarking Agent-as-a-Judge for Environment-Aware Evaluation [9]
As reinforcement learning continues to scale the training of large language model-based agents, reliably verifying agent behaviors in complex environments has become increasingly challenging. Existing approaches rely on…
arXiv
SmartPhotoCrafter: Unified Reasoning, Generation and Optimization for Automatic Photographic Image Editing [10]
Traditional photographic image editing typically requires users to possess sufficient aesthetic understanding to provide appropriate instructions for adjusting image quality and camera parameters. However, this paradigm…
