First-Order Diffusion Samplers Can Be Fast

Published:Dec 31, 2025 15:35
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper challenges the common assumption that higher-order ODE solvers are inherently faster for diffusion probabilistic model (DPM) sampling. It argues that the placement of DPM evaluations, even with first-order methods, can significantly impact sampling accuracy, especially with a low number of neural function evaluations (NFE). The proposed training-free, first-order sampler achieves competitive or superior performance compared to higher-order samplers on standard image generation benchmarks, suggesting a new design angle for accelerating diffusion sampling.
Reference

The proposed sampler consistently improves sample quality under the same NFE budget and can be competitive with, and sometimes outperform, state-of-the-art higher-order samplers.

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper addresses the crucial challenge of translating AI-driven image analysis results into human-readable radiology reports. It leverages the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to bridge the gap between structured AI outputs (bounding boxes, class labels) and natural language narratives. The study's significance lies in its potential to streamline radiologist workflows and improve the usability of AI diagnostic tools in medical imaging. The comparison of YOLOv5 and YOLOv8, along with the evaluation of report quality, provides valuable insights into the performance and limitations of this approach.

Analysis

This paper introduces the Tubular Riemannian Laplace (TRL) approximation for Bayesian neural networks. It addresses the limitations of Euclidean Laplace approximations in handling the complex geometry of deep learning models. TRL models the posterior as a probabilistic tube, leveraging a Fisher/Gauss-Newton metric to separate uncertainty. The key contribution is a scalable reparameterized Gaussian approximation that implicitly estimates curvature. The paper's significance lies in its potential to improve calibration and reliability in Bayesian neural networks, achieving performance comparable to Deep Ensembles with significantly reduced computational cost.

It combines implicit score matching and denoising score matching, demonstrating improved convergence rates and the ability to estimate log-density Hessians (second derivatives) without suffering from the curse of dimensionality. This is significant because accurate score function estimation is vital for the performance of generative models, and efficient Hessian estimation supports the convergence of ODE-based samplers used in these models.
Reference

The paper demonstrates that implicit score matching achieves the same rates of convergence as denoising score matching and allows for Hessian estimation without the curse of dimensionality.

Analysis

This paper proposes a novel approach to long-context language modeling by framing it as a continual learning problem. The core idea is to use a standard Transformer architecture with sliding-window attention and enable the model to learn at test time through next-token prediction. This End-to-End Test-Time Training (TTT-E2E) approach, combined with meta-learning for improved initialization, demonstrates impressive scaling properties, matching full attention performance while maintaining constant inference latency. This is a significant advancement as it addresses the limitations of existing long-context models, such as Mamba and Gated DeltaNet, which struggle to scale effectively. The constant inference latency is a key advantage, making it faster than full attention for long contexts.
Reference

TTT-E2E scales with context length in the same way as Transformer with full attention, while others, such as Mamba 2 and Gated DeltaNet, do not. However, similar to RNNs, TTT-E2E has constant inference latency regardless of context length, making it 2.7 times faster than full attention for 128K context.

Analysis

This paper addresses limitations in existing higher-order argumentation frameworks (HAFs) by introducing a new framework (HAFS) that allows for more flexible interactions (attacks and supports) and defines a suite of semantics, including 3-valued and fuzzy semantics.

This is significant because it bridges the gap between complex argumentation frameworks and more readily available computational tools.
Reference

The paper proposes a higher-order argumentation framework with supports ($HAFS$), which explicitly allows attacks and supports to act as both targets and sources of interactions.

TEAMS accurately reproduces the return time estimates of the DNS at about one fifth the computational cost.

Analysis

This paper presents a novel approach to control nonlinear systems using Integral Reinforcement Learning (IRL) to solve the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE). The key contribution is a partially model-free method that avoids the need for explicit knowledge of the system's drift dynamics, a common requirement in traditional SDRE methods. This is significant because it allows for control design in scenarios where a complete system model is unavailable or difficult to obtain. The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach through simulations, showing comparable performance to the classical SDRE method.
Reference

The IRL-based approach achieves approximately the same performance as the conventional SDRE method, demonstrating its capability as a reliable alternative for nonlinear system control that does not require an explicit environmental model.

Analysis

This paper introduces Mixture of Attention Schemes (MoAS), a novel approach to dynamically select the optimal attention mechanism (MHA, GQA, or MQA) for each token in Transformer models. This addresses the trade-off between model quality and inference efficiency, where MHA offers high quality but suffers from large KV cache requirements, while GQA and MQA are more efficient but potentially less performant. The key innovation is a learned router that dynamically chooses the best scheme, outperforming static averaging. The experimental results on WikiText-2 validate the effectiveness of dynamic routing. The availability of the code enhances reproducibility and further research in this area. This research is significant for optimizing Transformer models for resource-constrained environments and improving overall efficiency without sacrificing performance.
Reference

We demonstrate that dynamic routing performs better than static averaging of schemes and achieves performance competitive with the MHA baseline while offering potential for conditional compute efficiency.

Targeted Attacks on Vision-Language Models with Fewer Tokens

Published:Dec 26, 2025 01:01
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper highlights a critical vulnerability in Vision-Language Models (VLMs). It demonstrates that by focusing adversarial attacks on a small subset of high-entropy tokens (critical decision points), attackers can significantly degrade model performance and induce harmful outputs. This targeted approach is more efficient than previous methods, requiring fewer perturbations while achieving comparable or even superior results in terms of semantic degradation and harmful output generation. The paper's findings also reveal a concerning level of transferability of these attacks across different VLM architectures, suggesting a fundamental weakness in current VLM safety mechanisms.
Reference

By concentrating adversarial perturbations on these positions, we achieve semantic degradation comparable to global methods while using substantially smaller budgets. More importantly, across multiple representative VLMs, such selective attacks convert 35-49% of benign outputs into harmful ones, exposing a more critical safety risk.

Furthermore, it achieves state-of-the-art results on the STEW mental workload dataset, highlighting its generalizability.
Reference

The Modified TSception achieves a comparable accuracy of 83.46% (vs. 83.15% for the original) on the SEED-VIG dataset, but with a substantially reduced confidence interval (0.24 vs. 0.36), signifying a marked improvement in performance stability.
