Overcoming Spectral Bias via Cross-Attention

arXiv:2512.18586v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Spectral bias implies an imbalance in training dynamics, whereby high-frequency components may converge substantially more slowly than low-frequency ones. To alleviate this issue, we propose a cross-attention-based architecture that adaptively reweigh…

LLVM Considering An AI Tool Policy, AI Bot For Fixing Build System Breakage Proposed

Last week a request for comments (RFC) was issued around establishing an LLVM AI Tool Use Policy. The proposed policy would allow AI-assisted contributions to be made to this open-source compiler codebase but that there would need to be a "human in the loop" and the contributor versed enough to be a…
