Open-MOPD: Diagnosing and Fixing Capability Imbalance in Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation

Open-MOPD, a principled framework incorporating token-share balancing, gap-aware dynamic budget allocation, and student reward refresh, systematically restore cross-domain balance, elevating headroom recovery from 35.6% to 83.4% in a single deployable student.

Bernstein-Vazirani Networks: Quantum Machine Learning by Interference

We introduce Bernstein-Vazirani Networks (BVNs), a non-variational quantum machine learning framework that leverages quantum interference for supervised learning, demonstrated on vision and representation learning tasks. In their standard form, BVNs follow the principle of quantum Fourier sampling: labelled data are placed in superposition and interfered in the Fourier basis to extract globally informative features. We then define generalised BVNs that enable interference in problem-adapted bases, yielding more expressive models under the same measurement budget as in the standard setting. BVNs achieve universal function approximation through (over)complete interference bases, while training of BVNs is gradient-free. Experiments on synthetic and real-world classification tasks, as well as implicit image representation, show strong generalisation capabilities and competitive performance with classical and quantum baselines.

Training Chemical Plausibility-Aware Large Language Models for Single-Step Retrosynthesis

This work introduces Top-K prompting as a robust training and inference paradigm to better capture diverse, plausible reaction predictions and establishes Top-K, plausibility-aware training as a practical new direction for robust future LLM-based synthesis planning.

Graphical Design of Interpretable Architectures

A graphical notation for designing interpretable AI architectures, adapted from Penrose tensor notation is introduced, which gives a global view of an architecture and maps one to one onto PyTorch einsum code.

MLREF: Efficient Module Reuse for Reward Design in Reinforcement Learning via Large Language Models

The proposed Module Level Reward Evolution Framework integrates three mechanisms: reflection-based refinement, hybrid credit assignment, and a merge strategy with rollback, which together improve the effectiveness and robustness of reward optimization.

Understanding Multilingual Medical ASR Adaptation Through Layer-Wise Analysis

This paper investigates how multilingual medical adaptation reshapes the internal representations of Whisper models through layer-wise encoder analysis, and shows that English medical fine-tuning produces the dominant encoder shift, whereas multilingual continuation largely preserves the adapted representation space.

Beyond Predictive Fairness: Quantifying Attribution Consistency Across Demographic Groups in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

The Explanation Consistency Score (ECS) is introduced, a fairness-aware metric based on Jensen-Shannon divergence that quantifies the similarity of attribution maps across subgroups that suggests predictive fairness and explanation consistency capture complementary dimensions of model behavior, motivating fairness evaluations that extend beyond predictive performance.

Flama: a Python framework for development and deployment of production-ready APIs, machine learning, and LLM services

Flama is presented, an open-source Python framework for developing and deploying production-ready web APIs, machine learning services, and large-language-model (LLM) applications that unifies REST API development, predictive model serving, and generative AI inference in one architecture.

The Impact of CutMix on Reliability and Robustness in Semantic Segmentation

Improvements show that CutMix has only a minor impact on segmentation accuracy but consistently improves the reliability, particularly under distribution shifts, indicating that CutMix primarily enhances the trustworthiness of the model’s calibration and uncertainty rather than the raw segmentation prediction itself.

A Critical Synthesis of Uncertainty Quantification and Foundation Models for Semantic Segmentation

This is the first systematic evaluation of UQ methods applied to a foundation model for semantic segmentation and highlights both the promise and the current limitations of uncertainty-aware foundation models, pointing to the need for future work that jointly optimizes accuracy, robustness, and efficiency for real-world deployment.
