Efficient Plug-and-Play Weight Refinement for Sparse Large Models

AAAI 2026technical

One-shot pruning efficiently compresses Large Language Models but produces coarse sparse weights, causing significant performance degradation. Traditional fine-tuning approaches to refine these weights are prohibitively expensive for large models. This highlights the need for a training-free weight

SHERPA: Fine-tuning Segment Anything Models with Task-relevant Guidance

ICML 2026poster

Segment Anything Models (SAMs) often struggle with certain specialized tasks. A common approach is to fine-tune models with specific task labels, but this often leads to overfitting, introduces model bias and significantly degrades their generalization ability. To overcome these challenges, we propo…
