Model Merging (MM) has emerged as a scalable paradigm for multi-task learning (MTL), enabling multiple task-specific models to be integrated without revisiting the original training data. Despite recent progress, the reliability of MM under test-time distribution shift remains insufficiently understood. Most existing MM methods typically assume that test data are clean and distributionally aligned with both the training and auxiliary sources. However, this assumption rarely holds in practice, often resulting in biased predictions with degraded generalization. To address […]

Author(s): Shashwata Bhattacharjee Originally published on Towards AI. The release of Google’s TITANS architecture in late 2024 marks a theoretical inflection point in how we conceptualize machine memory. This isn’t merely another incremental improvement in long-context processing — it’s a fundamental rethinking of what it means for neural networks to learn, remember, and forget. By implementing principles from cognitive neuroscience that have been validated over six decades, TITANS demonstrates that biological memory systems aren’t just inspiration — they’re […]

Author(s): Mandar Karhade, MD. PhD. Originally published on Towards AI. When 200,000 GitHub stars meet 30,000 exposed instances, it’s time to stop the madness. These 6 Alternatives Might Actually Be Better for You. OpenClaw is the 800-pound gorilla of self-hosted AI assistants with 251K GitHub stars and 23+ channel integrations. But if you’re about to spin it up, stop. NanoClaw gives you container-isolated security with a codebase small enough to actually read. PicoClaw runs on a $10 RISC-V […]

While federated learning protects data privacy, it also makes the model update process vulnerable to long-term stealthy perturbations. Existing studies on backdoor attacks in federated learning mainly focus on trigger design or poisoning strategies, typically assuming that identical perturbations behave similarly across different model architectures. This assumption overlooks the impact of model structure on perturbation effectiveness. From a structure-aware perspective, this paper analyzes the coupling relationship between model architectures and backdoor perturbations. We introduce two metrics, Structural Responsiveness […]
