Sparse by Command: Task-Conditional Compute Skipping for Multi-Task Inference Accelerators

Afzal Ahmad, Gaoyu Mao, Shoubo Hu, Hui-Ling Zhen, Mingxuan Yuan, Xinyu Chen, et al.

Multi-task inference models share a single backbone across diverse tasks, yet execute identical computation regardless of which task is active - wasting energy and cycles on task-irrelevant operations. We observe that the task command, typically available before inference begins,…

ARDepth: Auto-regressive Monocular Depth Estimation with Progressive Visual Conditioning

Zijie Wang, Wei Zhang, Weiming Zhang, Xiao Tan, Weikai Chen, Xiaoxu Li, et al.

Diffusion models have recently become the dominant paradigm for monocular depth estimation (MDE). However, they implicitly assume that depth can be recovered as a globally smooth field through iterative denoising, which does not explicitly reflect the piecewise and scale-dependen…

Co-Adaptive Multi-Task LoRA: Transfer-Aware, Label-Free Control of Domain Participation

Wei Zhang, Lin Tang, Ming Zhao, Yuxuan Wang

Fine-tuning a single low-rank adapter on many domains at once is multi-task learning: the domains must be co-learned, and how they share the adapter decides whether they help or hurt one another. Most efficient fine-tuning pipelines ignore this and train on a fixed, uniform mixtu…
