Beyond Negative-Ridge Endpoints: Mixed-Sign Spectral Regularization via Negative-Shifted Gradient Descent

Peng Zhao

In overparameterized linear regression, many weak spectral directions act like a ridge penalty on the signal-bearing spectrum; negative ridge is the natural correction, pushing filters above one. The stable negative-ridge endpoint, however, is structurally limited: its pole must…

AdaFlash: Adaptive Speculative Decoding via On-Policy Distilled Diffusion Drafters

Yu-Yang Qian, Hao-Cong Wu, Chen Chen, Jiacheng Sun, Zhenhua Dong, Peng Zhao, et al.

Speculative decoding, in which a lightweight draft model first generates a draft sequence that is then verified in parallel by the target model, has become a prevalent paradigm for accelerating large language model inference. Recent work such as DFlash further boosts drafting eff…
