OrdMoE: Preference Alignment via Hierarchical Expert Group Ranking in Multimodal Mixture-of-Experts LLMs

A recent study has explored the integration of visual and textual information in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), revealing that visual-text fusion occurs at specific layers within these models rather than uniformly across the network. The research highlights a late-stage

A new model named UniF$^2$ace has been introduced, aimed at addressing challenges in face understanding and generation by unifying these processes into a single framework. This model employs a novel theoretical framework with a Dual Discrete Diffusion (D3Diff) loss, which enhances the precision of facial attribute generation and understanding.

A recent study has introduced a framework aimed at mitigating hallucination issues in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) during Reinforcement Learning (RL) optimization. The research identifies key factors contributing to hallucinations, including over-reliance on visual reasoning and insufficient exploration diversity. The proposed framework incorporates modules for caption feedback, diversity-aware sampling, and conflict regularization to enhance model reliability.

A novel framework called Med-MoE-LoRA has been proposed to enhance the adaptation of Large Language Models (LLMs) for domain-specific applications, particularly in medicine. This framework addresses two significant challenges: the Stability-Plasticity Dilemma and Task Interference, enabling efficient multi-task learning without compromising general knowledge retention.

A recent study titled 'Deconstructing Pre-training: Knowledge Attribution Analysis in MoE and Dense Models' explores the knowledge acquisition dynamics in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures compared to dense models, utilizing a new neuron-level attribution metric called Gated-LPI. The research tracks knowledge updates over extensive training steps, revealing significant differences in how these architectures learn.

A new benchmark called KidVis has been introduced to evaluate the visual perceptual capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), specifically assessing their performance against that of 6-7 year old children across six atomic visual capabilities. The results reveal a significant performance gap, with human children scoring an average of 95.32 compared to GPT-5's score of 67.33.

A new method called PRISM has been introduced to optimize the selection of training data for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), addressing the redundancy in rapidly growing datasets that increases computational costs. This self-pruning intrinsic selection method aims to enhance efficiency without the need for extensive training or proxy-based inference techniques.

A recent study on Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models reveals that optimal architecture design must consider both total parameters and expert sparsity, rather than relying solely on these factors. The research indicates that increasing the number of experts can negatively impact performance by necessitating reductions in model dimensions to meet memory constraints.
