Early Stopping Reduces Operations in Binary Neural Networks
This paper introduces a post-training early-stopping mechanism for binary neural networks that significantly reduces the number of accumulation operations. By predicting the final sign of a neuron's output early, the method removes up to 86.6% of accumulation terms in deep convolutions with minimal accuracy drop, making binary networks more efficient for constrained deployments.
SkillTFM Enables Training-Free Adaptation for Tabular Foundation Models
SkillTFM is a novel training-free system that adapts Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) to new tasks by evolving agentic skills rather than parameter updates. It uses a verifiable skill bank with boundary evidence identification and gated skill evolution, significantly improving AUC and addressing distribution shifts and heterogeneous feature semantics.
