SQS: Bayesian DNN Compression through Sparse Quantized Sub-distributions

Compressing large-scale neural networks is essential for deploying models on resource-constrained devices. Most existing methods adopt weight pruning or low-bit quantization individually, often resulting in suboptimal compression rates to preserve acceptable performance drops. We introduce a unified framework for simultaneous pruning and low-bit quantization via Bayesian variational learning (\method), which achieves higher compression rates than prior baselines while maintaining comparable performance. The key idea is to employ a spike-and-slab prior to induce sparsity and model quantized weights using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to enable low-bit precision. Due to the intractability of the objective involving spike-and-slab priors with GMMs, we derive an efficient approximation that facilitates effective compression with minimal accuracy loss. In theory, we provide a consistent result for our proposed variational approach to a sparse and quantized deep neural network. Extensive experiments on compressing ResNet, BERT-base, Llama3.2, and Qwen2.5 models show that our method achieves higher compression rates than a line of existing methods with comparable performance drops.

Length-Adaptive Decoding for Masked Diffusion Machine Translation

Machine translation tests masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) because every source token must be rendered faithfully, while fixed canvas decoding must choose target length before denoising. Existing masked diffusion decoding work mainly studies token unmasking order, leaving this length decision under-explored despite its direct effect on coverage and redundancy. We introduce Entropy-Valley (EV), a training-free length selector that scores candidate target canvases by mean predictive entropy from all-mask forward passes and selects the canvas the backbone is most prepared to fill. Relative to a baseline using training corpus length statistics, EV recovers 64.9%, 65.3%, and 33.0% of the COMET-22 gain from reference target lengths on EntoZh, ZhtoEn, and EntoDe. Our diagnostics show that denoising-friendly lengths need not match reference lengths. Evaluation by three translation experts supports the EnleftrightarrowZh adequacy gains, with stronger evidence on ZhtoEn. Compared with a LLaMA-3-8B autoregressive (AR) model trained on the same fine-tuning data, the EV system ties on EntoZh and leads on ZhtoEn; an oracle-length diagnostic further shows that, in this masked diffusion MT setting, deciding which tokens to reveal first matters less than how the target length is supplied.

CLEAR: Continuous Latent Adapter Routing for Utility-Preserving LLM Safety Alignment

Improving the safety of large language models (LLMs) often comes at the expense of utility, as globally applied safety tuning may affect model responses to both harmful and benign inputs. We propose Continuous LatEnt Adapter Routing (CLEAR), a conditional safety adaptation framework that uses a lightweight hidden-state gate to continuously control the activation strength of a safety low-rank adapter. CLEAR aims to reduce harmful completions while avoiding unnecessary changes to the frozen backbone that could degrade performance on benign prompts. Experiments on widely used safety and utility benchmarks show that CLEAR improves robustness on HarmBench while reducing the utility degradation observed with globally applied safety tuning such as SFT or standard low-rank adaptation (LoRA). On Llama-3-8B-Instruct, CLEAR reduces HarmBench ASR from 32.3\% to 0.5\%, while retaining most of the base model's utility and achieving up to 7.1 percentage points higher GSM8K accuracy than globally applied SFT or LoRA. These results suggest that CLEAR is a promising mechanism for improving the safety--utility trade-off in LLM alignment.

Inject, Align, Recover: Staged Post-Training for Retrieval-Free Document Knowledge Internalization

Large language models often fail to answer questions about a bounded document collection when the source documents are not retrieved at inference time. We study this setting as document knowledge internalization: converting a fixed corpus into usable parametric knowledge for retrieval-free question answering. We propose IAR (Inject, Align, and Recover), a three-stage post-training framework that separates structured document knowledge injection, QA behavior alignment, and general ability recovery. Unlike conventional continued pretraining, Inject converts source documents into continuation, rewrite, and instruction-conditioned reconstruction objectives. Align then adapts the injected model with answer-only QA supervision, while Recover merges the domain-adapted model with the base instruction model to recover general capabilities. Across Common Corpus (CC) and CCI, and across Llama, Phi, Qwen, and SmolLM model families, IAR improves the domain-primary domain-general frontier for retrieval-free document internalization. In the main comparison, IAR improves over Vanilla SFT on all four reported metrics in 7 of 8 dataset-model settings, with average gains of 3.6 percentage points in domain QA accuracy and 12.1 percentage points in mean general performance across IFEval, MMLU, and MSBench. Extended CC baselines show that LoRA and FAPM can win individual general metrics, but among methods that also reach leading or near-leading domain internalization, IAR retains one of the strongest general profiles.

TileMix: Tile-Centric Mixed-Precision Attention for LLM Inference Acceleration

Long-context prefill in large language models (LLMs) incurs substantial computation and memory traffic because dense self-attention computes quadratic query-key scores. Existing methods either use a uniform low-precision path or select token interactions, leaving spatial precision routing over hardware-aligned score tiles outside fused dense attention. We introduce TileMix, a tile-centric precision-routing kernel that makes numerical precision an executable spatial decision over score-tile groups within fused dense attention. TileMix partitions the attention matrix into hardware-aligned score tiles, packs routing decisions into compact bitmasks, and dispatches each tile group through FP16 or INT8 score computation while both paths update a shared online-softmax state. Scalable precision grouping lets each routing bit govern multiple adjacent key tiles, preserving hardware-aligned compute tiles and compact metadata at long contexts. By routing all legal tile groups, TileMix preserves dense token connectivity, requires no training, and supports grouped-query attention, variable-length batches, and INT8 key/value caches. Across LongEval, LV-Eval, and A100 prefill benchmarks on LLaMA, Qwen, and Vicuna, TileMix recovers long-context quality lost under uniform INT8 and improves prefill throughput over FP16, yielding a controllable accuracy-efficiency frontier across model families. The implementation is available at https://github.com/HanzhiZhang-Ulrica/TileMix.

VectraYX-Vision-1B: A Sub-2B Spanish/LATAM Cybersecurity Vision-Language Model with Structured Visual Reasoning and Native Tool Use

We present VectraYX-Vision-1B, a sub-2B vision-language model (VLM) for Spanish/LATAM cybersecurity imagery, coupling a frozen SigLIP-so400m encoder to a 1.04B Spanish/LATAM security decoder via an MLP. To our knowledge, it is the first sub-2B VLM specialized for cyber UI (IDA, Ghidra, Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, Volatility) that answers in Spanish, emits structured reasoning via native <|think|> tokens, invokes tools via Model Context Protocol (<|tool_call|>), and exports to llama.cpp's LLaVA mmproj format for air-gapped deployment. We report a negative preliminary visual-grounding result: despite fully functional pipelines, the current vision SFT (400-1900 steps, ~16M tokens) yields near-zero B6 scores (0.08 tool-identification), ignoring image content. We specify remediation (longer SFT, >=60% replay, lower LR) and expose a checkpoint-loader bug (unstripped llm. prefix) masquerading as training collapse. Crucially, we introduce a 3-variant ablation matrix (V0: NoPE-every-4, V1: all-RoPE, V2: NoPE+learned 2D) to study if periodic no-positional-encoding (NoPE) layers help or hurt attention over the 729-token visual block. Code, configs, and weights are released to establish priority on this architectural question. We provide B1-B5 for the text backbone, text controls, preliminary B6/B7 scores, wall times, GGUF efficiency on CPU, and a corpus of 14,596 QA pairs across 10 domains. We open-source all models and trajectories: jsantillana/vectrayx-1b, jsantillana/vectrayx-vision-1b, and jsantillana/vectrayx-vision-1b-checks.
