Neural-Augmented Kelvinlet for Real-Time Soft Tissue Deformation Modeling

Ashkan Shahbazi, Kyvia Pereira, Jon S. Heiselman, Elaheh Akbari, Annie C. Benson, Sepehr Seifi +6

AAAI 2026technical

Accurate and efficient modeling of soft-tissue interactions is fundamental for advancing surgical simulation, surgical robotics, and model-based surgical automation. To achieve real-time latency, classical Finite Element Method (FEM) solvers are often replaced with neural approximations; however, na

Zero Sum SVD: Balancing Loss Sensitivity for Low Rank LLM Compression

Ali Abbasi, Chayne Thrash, Haoran Qin, Shansita Sharma, Sepehr Seifi, Soheil Kolouri

ICML 2026poster

Advances in large language models have driven strong performance across many tasks, but their memory and compute costs still hinder deployment. SVD-based compression reduces storage and can speed up inference via low-rank factors, yet performance depends on how rank is allocated under a global compr…
