Task-Vector Interference in Merged LLMs Driven by Orientation, Not Magnitude.
This research reveals that interference in merged language models, often attributed to magnitude, is primarily driven by the orientation of task-vectors. It demonstrates that erasing interference along specific directions causally removes its effects, while magnitude-based interventions are insufficient and inconsistent.
New Method Detects Gradual GNSS Spoofing in Autonomous Driving.
This paper proposes a causal high-order liquid evidence framework to detect gradual GNSS spoofing attacks in autonomous driving. By modeling the evolution of GNSS-motion inconsistency with multiple evidence streams and adaptive liquid encoders, the method achieves high F1-scores in detecting subtle spoofing.
MOON Improves Multitask Learning with OrthoNormalized Gradient Updates.
This paper introduces MOON (Multi-Objective OrthoNormalized Updates), a novel approach for multi-task learning that addresses limitations of Euclidean gradient manipulation in multi-objective optimization. MOON performs gradient manipulation under spectral-nuclear norm geometry, leading to more efficient optimization and improved performance in modern architectures like Transformers.
