Accurate classification of brain disorders from neuroimaging data remains challenging because of substantial inter-subject heterogeneity and the complex multi-scale patterns present in functional connectivity and morphological representations. To address these challenges, we propose HyperAMS-Net, a deep learning framework for brain disorder classification using neuroimaging representations derived from resting-state functional MRI or structural MRI. HyperAMS-Net integrates adaptive multi-scale convolution, hypergraph attention, spatial-channel attention, and adaptive feature fusion. Specifically, adaptive multi-scale convolution learns data-driven weights over multiple receptive fields to capture complementary patterns at different scales. Hypergraph attention models higher-order dependencies among learned feature representations through node--hyperedge--node message passing, while spatial-channel attention enhances discriminative feature learning. Adaptive feature fusion further aggregates complementary information across parallel network branches. HyperAMS-Net is evaluated on three benchmark datasets spanning distinct brain disorders: ABIDE for autism spectrum disorder, REST-meta-MDD for major depressive disorder, and ADNI for Alzheimer's disease, using 5-fold stratified cross-validation. HyperAMS-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance across all evaluated datasets, attaining the highest accuracy and AUC among the compared methods. Ablation studies further demonstrate the contribution of each proposed component, with the largest performance degradation observed when hypergraph attention is removed.

Quantum neural networks (QNNs) are typically built from variational quantum circuits (VQCs), which are limited by local measurements. Adaptive non-local observables (ANO) address this by jointly optimizing circuit parameters and multi-qubit measurements. However, existing ANO-based VQCs learn only a single static observable that remains invariant across all inputs. We propose QFWP-ANO, a novel architecture which employs a classical hypernetwork to dynamically program VQC parameters and/or non-local observables conditioned on each input. On multivariate time-series forecasting across four ETT datasets, QFWP-ANO achieves the lowest MSE in 16 of 20 settings and second-lowest in the remaining four, surpassing ANO-based and other strong baselines. On reinforcement learning tasks, QFWP-ANO consistently surpasses ANO-VQCs. Our results establish input-conditioned ANO as an effective approach for enhancing QNNs.

Task vectors enable model merging without joint retraining. In practice, the subset of task vectors to be merged may vary, but many existing methods use scalar tuning for a particular subset, requiring repeated tuning across subsets and restricting task vector merging to linear rescaling. We therefore formulate merging across varying task subsets as a combinatorial correction problem and introduce HyperFix, a lightweight hypernetwork that predicts subset-conditioned nonlinear corrections in weight space. Trained once on singleton, pair, and triple subsets from a task bank, HyperFix generalizes to larger subsets without per-subset optimization. Our local perturbation analysis bounds the residual correction beyond linear merging and motivates learning it from small task updates. Experiments across diverse benchmarks show that HyperFix outperforms existing task vector merging methods while reducing tuning cost.

Federated learning (FL) must serve devices with varying computational capabilities. A fixed model cannot suit all devices, while training one model per deployment limit is costly. Federated supernet training instead learns one elastic model with differently sized subnetworks, then deploys a suitable one to each device. When client inference budgets differ, however, parameters exclusive to high-cost subnetworks are reachable by fewer clients. We propose FEAST, a federated shared-space training framework that counters this imbalance by jointly training multiple subnetworks within each client's limit. Budget-tailored sub-supernet routing sends only the relevant supernet portion, and sparse aggregation merges the returned parameter slices. The trained supernet directly serves the subnetworks used during federation and supports post-hoc extraction of additional subnetworks without federated retraining. We further show that independently assigning clients' training-data volumes and inference budgets can distort accuracy--inference-cost comparisons in heterogeneous FL simulations, and introduce a one-parameter $γ$-allocation protocol to control this coupling. In our experimental setup, the SuperFedNAS and DeepFedNAS supernet training procedures remain near chance at 25M and reach at most $17.09\%$ at $596$M inference MACs; FEAST reaches $71.06\%$ at $596$M, $2.4$ points above the strongest model-heterogeneous weight-sharing baseline at its largest tier. Across CIFAR-100, CINIC-10, and TinyImageNet-200, FEAST achieves the highest population-averaged accuracy among the evaluated weight-sharing methods when each client receives its largest affordable subnetwork. Sub-supernet routing reduces aggregate model-parameter traffic by $6.8\times$ relative to full-supernet transmission.

Existing RGBT trackers typically employ fusion functions with fixed parameters across different targets and scenarios. Although dynamic-architecture methods improve fusion flexibility by selecting among predefined operations, they still cannot adapt the fusion parameters to the evolving target state. To address these issues, we propose a Parameter-Dynamic Adaptive Fusion and Calibration Network (PAFCNet) for RGBT tracking. PAFCNet dynamically generates target-conditioned parameters for multimodal fusion and temporal calibration, enabling the tracking process to adapt to target appearance variations and modality quality fluctuations. Specifically, we introduce a Target-Adaptive Hypernetwork (TA-HyperNet) that leverages template representations, which preserve stable target identity and recent appearance changes with less background interference, to generate target-conditioned parameters for subsequent fusion and calibration. Based on TA-HyperNet, we design a target-aware parameter-dynamic fusion module that uses the generated parameters to modulate the fusion process. This enables the fusion module to adapt to changes in target appearance and complex scene conditions. Furthermore, since spatio-temporal information propagation may accumulate tracking noise, we propose a dynamic spatio-temporal calibration module that employs TA-HyperNet to generate calibration parameters for spatio-temporal tokens. By dynamically calibrating historical information before propagation, the module improves the reliability of temporal representations. Experimental results demonstrate that PAFCNet achieves competitive performance on multiple RGBT tracking benchmarks.

Post-training alignment in large reasoning models (LRMs) has significantly improved their adaptability to diverse safety compliance settings. However, as LRMs personalization for downstream users takes center stage, the demand for varying levels of policy compliance grows as different user-specific LRMs must adhere to distinct subsets of safety policies. Training a separate LRM for each policy subset introduces severe combinatorial overhead. While in context learning methods overcome this combinatorial overhead, they introduce additional computational challenges associated with long context generation. To address this challenge, we propose \ours, a unified adaptive hypernetwork-based framework for multi-policy compliance. In our framework, safety policies serve as customizable inputs to a LoRA adapter generator, which learns to produce policy compliant LoRA weights for downstream LRM. When added to the LRM these weights enable the generation of responses compliant with the specified policy subsets. In this work, we demonstrate that training such a hypernetwork enables on-demand policy adjustments on a single LRM without sacrificing task performance across reasoning models of different sized and different evaluation datasets. This highlights the effectiveness and practicality of adaptive hypernetwork based alignment in LRMs.

Autonomous free-flying robots in orbital environments require controllers that are both versatile and resource-efficient, yet maintaining a separate, task-specific policy for each mission profile is architecturally brittle and limits operational flexibility as requirements evolve. We introduce HYPER-GNC, a multi-task reinforcement learning framework in which a hypernetwork maps physics-informed task embeddings to the weights of a shared actor-critic policy, enabling a single compact controller to master four distinct GNC tasks: velocity tracking, docking, inspection, and navigation with obstacle avoidance. The continuous embedding space allows the controller to generalize to novel mission configurations at deployment time without any retraining. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HYPER-GNC achieves sample efficiency comparable to single-task specialists while maintaining stability under significant inertial perturbations and external body wrenches. We further validate the framework on a physical satellite emulator, successfully bridging the simulation-to-reality gap across all mission profiles. Code, trained models, and deployment scripts are made publicly available to support reproducibility.

Parameterized and coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to modeling phenomena in science and engineering, yet neural operator methods that address both aspects remain limited. We extend Fourier neural operators (FNOs) with minimal architectural modifications along two directions. For parameterized dynamics, we propose a hypernetwork-based modulation that conditions the operator on physical parameters. For coupled systems, we conduct a systematic exploration of architectural choices, examining how operator components can be adapted to balance shared structure with cross-variable interactions while retaining the efficiency of standard FNOs. Evaluations on benchmark PDEs, including the one-dimensional capacitively coupled plasma equations and the Gray-Scott system, show that our methods achieve up to 55-72% lower errors than strong baselines, demonstrating the effectiveness of principled modulation and systematic design exploration.

Injecting factual knowledge into large language models (LLMs) reliably and at scale remains an open challenge. Hypernetworks provide a promising solution to large-scale knowledge injection. Although hypernetworks are typically applied for test-time adaptation, we explore their use in train-time knowledge injection, where, given a large corpus of facts, we train a hypernetwork to generate a fixed LoRA adapter that, when inserted into the target model, enable the model to answer questions about those facts. In this work, we investigate whether hypernetworks can be used to perform train-time knowledge injection and how this ability varies with scale. The scaling behavior of hypernetworks remains largely unstudied. Our design decouples the hypernetwork's injection capacity from the target model's general capability, enabling, for the first time, a rigorous study of scaling laws for hypernetwork architectures. We characterize how loss, reasoning accuracy, and out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization vary with hypernetwork depth, width, and target network size. We construct a large-scale dataset, called MegaWikiQA, containing tens of millions of multi-hop question-answer examples across 39 domains constructed from examples in Wikidata5M. Our results reveal: (i) hypernetwork-based injection exhibits broadly predictive power law scaling along all architecture axes; and (ii) hypernetworks are capable of reliable OOD generalization at increasing scales, suggesting that hypernetwork provides a promising alternative to other train-time adaptation methods such as LoRA finetuning and full fine-tuning, exhibiting steeper scaling exponents in all OOD evaluations. Together, these results establish hypernetworks as a principled and scalable substrate for train-time adaptation, and provide the first empirically grounded scaling laws to guide hypernetworks for factual reasoning in large language models.

Lattice field theory is the workhorse of non-perturbative physics, used to simulate phenomena from the strong nuclear force to critical phenomena in materials. Its Boltzmann distributions are parametrized analytically by coupling constants, but these bare parameters are weak predictors of observables -- extracting physics typically requires extensive simulation. While normalizing flows have emerged as effective samplers at fixed couplings, it remains difficult to interpret what these networks have learned. This raises a natural question: can the physics be read off directly from the flow network parameters themselves, and can those parameters be generated for unseen theories? We propose lattice field theory as a testbed for neural network interpretability: because the target physics is qualitatively well-understood and smoothly varying, it provides ideal synthetic data with known ground truth. To this end, we introduce JEPAWG, a Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture-based Weight Generator that maps couplings directly to flow weights via a learned latent space. On a scalar theory at lattices of size $6^2$ to $11^2$, the JEPAWG latent space recovers the correct intrinsic dimension of the underlying manifold, locates the phase transition, and encodes a finite-size shift aligned with the 2D Ising exponent $ν\approx 1$, allowing us to uncover physical structure by studying the network weights alone. This suggests the fascinating idea of treating the network weights as a new type of physical observable. As a generator, JEPAWG also interpolates and extrapolates to unseen couplings effectively and remains robust to weight-space discontinuities introduced by multi-seed training data, outperforming PCA, AE, and VAE baselines.

Functional maps are the cornerstone of recent non-rigid 3D shape matching methods due to their efficiency and performance. However, existing methods struggle with challenging scenarios, such as partiality, topological noise, and raw point clouds. A primary bottleneck is that significant intrinsic distortion prevents truncated spectral bases from being accurately aligned via linear transformations (i.e., functional maps). To address this, we introduce a hyper-network that predicts non-linear neural functional maps (NFM), learned in an unsupervised manner, to better align spectral bases. Specifically, we model the NFM as an MLP with skip-connection to refine standard FM and employ a hyper-network to predict its weights, conditioned on standard FM. Our framework is trained using a novel unsupervised spectral alignment loss. Experiments demonstrate that our approach can be seamlessly integrated into state-of-the-art unsupervised deep functional map pipelines, substantially improving matching accuracy in demanding scenarios.

Recent work on neural texture compression has demonstrated that it is possible to learn small, per-material texture representations (composed of latent textures and a small Multi-Layer Perceptron decoder) that can be decoded in real-time during shading to reproduce the input to a physically based shading model. However, existing methods require performing gradient-descent optimization per material for a given MLP and latent configuration. In this work, we train a single hypernetwork that outputs both the latent features and the MLP's weights and biases. Though the solution space is high-dimensional, this approach produces results comparable in quality to the current reference neural texture compressors. We further extend this approach to infer multiple decoders at once or even produce decoders that learn super-resolution.

Differentially private (DP) training of neural networks is often hindered by the large amount of noise required by gradient-based methods such as DP-SGD, which repeatedly inject high-dimensional noise in parameter space throughout training. In this paper, we propose a new framework for DP learning that avoids iterative optimization in parameter space. Instead of updating the target model using privatized gradients, we employ a hypernetwork trained on public datasets to map a private dataset to the parameters of the target model. Specifically, each example is embedded into a low-dimensional representation, the embeddings are aggregated and perturbed to obtain a DP dataset embedding, and the hypernetwork generates the target model parameters from this noisy embedding. Because privacy noise is injected only once into a low-dimensional dataset representation, our approach can significantly reduce the adverse effect of noise. We theoretically show in a synthetic setting that, under a fixed privacy budget, models produced by our approach achieve higher utility than those trained with DP-SGD. Moreover, we apply our approach to LoRA fine-tuning of diffusion models and show that it achieves lower FID than LoRA models trained with DP-SGD and other public-data-guided methods.

The intricate structures of biological neural networks largely emerge during development, guided by a comparatively compressed blueprint encoded in the genome. The connectivity that emerges from this decoding process is rich in structure, and already equips the organism with functional modules upon birth. This initial structure serves as a scaffold that can be gradually refined and fine-tuned through lifelong experience, via a variety of plasticity mechanisms. Drawing inspiration from this interaction between evolutionary and developmental modes of learning, we use hypernetworks to learn a compressed generative process that generates the connectivity of a modular reservoir. We show that this marriage between curriculum-based meta-learning and modular reservoir computing can generate sparse recurrent networks that solve difficult temporal tasks with minimal training and without concessions to robustness.

While personalizing Image-to-Video (I2V) diffusion models with specific visual effects is increasingly demanded for high-end generation, current practice requires training a separate Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) module for each effect, incurring substantial data curation and iterative optimization costs that hinder interactive control. We present Prompt2Effect, a weight-driven hypernetwork that amortizes per-effect training by directly synthesizing effect-specific LoRA weights in a single forward pass. Unlike prior hypernetworks that regress adapter weights purely from semantics, Prompt2Effect is explicitly conditioned on the frozen base model weights, grounding prediction in the structural geometry of each layer. Furthermore, instead of predicting raw LoRA matrices, we introduce an SVD-canonicalized parameterization that resolves factorization ambiguity and stabilizes large-scale synthesis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Prompt2Effect achieves on-par or superior video quality and effect alignment compared to conventional LoRA fine-tuning, while reducing the computational cost from 56 GPU training hours to 3.3 seconds of hypernetwork inference. When used as initialization for subsequent fine-tuning, our predicted weights further improve final performance and accelerate optimization by approximately 10x.

Understanding and comparing structures in scalar fields is a central challenge in scientific visualization, with applications ranging from feature analysis to temporal and structural comparison. The Morse-Smale (MS) complex provides a natural representation by decomposing a scalar field into regions induced by gradient flow. However, existing approaches typically rely on graph-based representations, capturing relationships between critical points while discarding region-level structure. In this work, we represent the MS complex as a hypergraph, where critical points form nodes and regions define hyperedges. We introduce MS-COOT, a co-optimal transport distance that jointly computes correspondences between critical points and regions. This formulation enables explicit region-to-region matching within a distance-based framework, allowing identification of region-level events such as splitting and merging. We instantiate this framework with domain-specific components, including a hypernetwork function encoding critical point-region relationships, persistence-based probability measures that emphasize topologically significant features, and a sample cost term that incorporates critical point attributes. We evaluate MS-COOT on five datasets spanning 2D simulations, 3D surface meshes, and volumetric data. Our results show that MS-COOT captures region-level structural changes that are not reflected by graph-based distances, while achieving strong performance in downstream tasks such as classification and resolution discrimination.

Federated fine-tuning of foundation models using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) offers a communication efficient solution for distributed learning. However, existing federated LoRA methods suffer from two fundamental limitations: (1) structural aggregation bias, where independently averaging low rank factors fails to approximate the true combined update, and (2) client side initialization lag, as clients repeatedly reinitialize LoRA parameters across communication rounds, slowing convergence. We propose HyperLoRA, a unified framework that addresses both issues through amortized federated adaptation through hypernetwork-driven LoRA generation and product space aggregation. Instead of iterative per-client optimization, HyperLoRA employs a learned generator that maps client distribution signatures to LoRA initializations, effectively amortizing per client adaptation. On the server side, we introduce a learned aggregation module that directly synthesizes updates in the low-rank product space, eliminating the inconsistencies of factor-wise averaging. A lightweight residual correction module further improves stability under heterogenous (non-IID) client distributions.By replacing iterative optimization and heuristic averaging with learned operators, HyperLoRA jointly enables efficient personalization, unbiased aggregation, and faster convergence. Experiments on federated vision and vision-language benchmarks show that HyperLoRA achieves improved convergence speed, greater robustness to distribution shift, and stronger personalization performance compared to prior federated LoRA methods.

Cooperative perception enabled by Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication enhances autonomous driving safety by creating a unified environmental representation through shared sensory data. While recent works have advanced multi-agent fusion for improved perception, uncertainty quantification in such cooperative frameworks remains largely unexplored. This paper introduces Hyper-V2X, a hypernetwork-based framework for estimating both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in V2X-based perception. Specifically, we propose a partial weight generation scheme and V2X context embedding module that conditions a Bayesian hypernetwork on fused multi-agent features to generate weight distributions for stochastic Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) segmentation. Unlike existing deterministic BEV models, Hyper-V2X enables efficient uncertainty estimation with little computation overhead. Our approach is architecture-agnostic, and can be seamlessly integrating with modern cooperative backbones such as CoBEVT. Experiments on the OPV2V benchmark demonstrate that Hyper-V2X provides accurate, well-calibrated uncertainty estimates and improves overall perception reliability. Our code and benchmark are publicly available under an open-source license: https://github.com/abhishekjagtap1/Hyper-V2X

Recent advances in garment simulation have brought high-quality results closer to real-time performance. Physics-based simulators can produce accurate motion, but remain too computationally expensive for interactive applications. In contrast, linear blend skinning is efficient, but cannot capture the complex dynamics of loose-fitting garments, often leading to unrealistic motion and visual artifacts. Neural methods offer a promising alternative, yet they still struggle to animate loose clothing plausibly under strict runtime constraints. We present a fast and physically plausible approach for dynamic garment simulation. Our method trains a reduced-space neural dynamics simulator composed of independent coarse- and fine-level components. At the coarse level, the garment is driven by a set of virtual bones integrated with a lightweight neural network. Fine-scale wrinkle details are then recovered using a trained convolutional neural map. By decoupling identity-specific computation from real-time neural integration, our architecture maintains high performance while supporting diverse body shapes and motions. We further introduce an effective physics-supervision scheme that enables accurate results without relying on an external simulator. Experiments show that our method produces physically plausible garment dynamics, generalizes across a range of motions and body shapes, and supports a fixed set of garments. Our simulator runs at 300+ FPS on a commodity GPU, making it suitable for real-time applications.

We address the open problem of training hypernetworks for Controllable Pareto Front Learning (CPFL) under split feasibility conditions with rigorous theoretical guarantees. We reformulate the constrained Pareto problem as a Bi-Level Scalarized Split Problem (BSSP) and propose the Adaptive Balanced Penalty (ABP) algorithm, whose three gradient components -- optimality, set feasibility, and image feasibility -- are blended through an adaptive indicator driven by a computable lower bound. Using a novel convex surrogate technique, we prove full-sequence convergence under standard convexity and Robbins-Monro step-size assumptions. The ABP penalty structure is then translated into a two-phase, feasibility-first training strategy for Hyper-MLP and HyperTrans architectures (ABP-HyperNet). To evaluate constrained CPFL, we introduce the Expected Feasible Hypervolume (EFHV), which jointly captures solution quality and constraint satisfaction. Experiments on five multi-objective benchmarks validate the ABP solver against ground truth, while three multi-task learning datasets demonstrate that ABP-HyperNet achieves up to 2.3x higher EFHV than unconstrained baselines by raising feasibility from 36-49% to 87-100%.

Effective multi-agent cooperation requires agents to adopt diverse behaviors as task conditions evolve-and to do so at the right moment. Yet, current Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) frameworks that facilitate this diversity are still limited by the fact that they bind fixed behaviors to fixed agent identities. Consequently, they are ill-equipped for tasks where agents need to take on different roles at very specific moments in time. We argue that, to define these behavioral transitions, the missing ingredient is $\textbf{events}$. Events are changes in the state of the system that induce qualitative changes in the task. Based on this view, we introduce a framework that decouples agent identity from behavior, capturing a continuous manifold from which agents instantiate their behaviors in response to events. This framework is based on two elements. First, to build an expressive behavior manifold, we introduce Neural Manifold Diversity (NMD), a formal distance metric that remains well-defined when behaviors are transient and agent-agnostic. Second, we use an event-based hypernetwork that generates Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules over a shared team policy, enabling on-the-fly agent-policy reconfiguration in response to events. We prove that this construction ensures that diversity does not interfere with reward maximization by design. Empirical results demonstrate that our framework outperforms established baselines across benchmarks while exhibiting zero-shot generalization, and being the only method that solves tasks requiring sequential behavior reassignment.

Dynamic feature selection (DFS) is a machine learning framework in which features are acquired sequentially for individual samples under budget constraints. The exponential growth in the number of possible feature acquisition paths forces a DFS model to balance fitting specific scenarios against maintaining general performance, even when the feature space is moderate in size. In this paper, we study the structural limitations of existing DFS approaches to achieve an optimal solution. Then, we propose \textsc{Hyper-DFS}, a hypernetwork-based DFS approach that generates feature subset-specific classifier parameters on demand. We show that the use of hypernetworks compared to mask-embedding methods results in a smaller structural complexity bound. We also use a Set Transformer encoding to create a smooth conditioning space for the hypernetwork, so that functionally similar tasks are also geometrically close. In our benchmarks, \textsc{Hyper-DFS} outperforms all state-of-the-art approaches on synthetic and real-life tabular data. It is also competitive or superior across all image datasets tested, and shows substantially stronger zero-shot generalisation to feature subsets never seen during training than existing DFS approaches.

Mesh-based simulations provide high-fidelity solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs), but achieving such accuracy typically requires fine meshes, leading to substantial computational overhead. Super-resolution techniques aim to mitigate this cost by reconstructing high-resolution (HR), high-fidelity solutions from low-cost, low-resolution (LR) counterparts. However, training neural networks for super-resolution often demands large amounts of expensive HR supervision data. To address this challenge, we propose SuperMeshNet, an HR data-efficient super-resolution framework for mesh-based simulations aided by message passing neural networks (MPNNs). At its core, SuperMeshNet introduces complementary learning, a semi-supervised approach that effectively leverages both 1) a small amount of paired LR-HR data and 2) abundant unpaired LR data via two jointly trained, complementary MPNN-based models. Additionally, our model is enriched by inductive biases, which are empirically shown to further improve super-resolution performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SuperMeshNet requires 90% less HR data to achieve even lower root mean square error (RMSE) than that of the fully supervised benchmark without the inductive biases. The source code and datasets are available at https://github.com/jykim-git/SuperMeshNet.git.

Addressing missing modalities is an important challenge in multimodal image analysis and often relies on complex architectures that do not transfer easily to different datasets without architectural modifications or hyperparameter tuning. While most existing methods tackle this problem in feature space by engineering representations that are robust to missing inputs, we instead operate in weight space. We propose LARGO, a hypernetwork that compresses the $2^N-1$ dedicated missing-modality models into a single network by modelling the convolutional weights using the Canonical Polyadic (CP) tensor decomposition. Extensive experimental validation on BraTS 2018 (4 modalities, 15 scenarios) and ISLES 2022 (3 modalities, 7 scenarios) shows that our method ranks first in 47 out of 52 configurations, achieving average Dice improvements of +0.68$\%$ and +2.53$\%$ over state-of-the-art baselines (mmFormer, M$^{3}$AE, ShaSpec, SimMLM). A proof-of-concept experiment on avMNIST suggests that LARGO may extend beyond medical imaging to heterogeneous non-medical modalities.

Hypernetwork-based methods such as Doc-to-LoRA internalize a document into an LLM's weights in a single forward pass, but they fail systematically on conflicts: when the document contradicts pretraining knowledge, accuracy collapses to 46.4% on the deepest facts. We show the failure is a magnitude problem rather than a representational one. The hypernetwork already targets the right layers, but its adapter margin is approximately constant across documents while the pretrained margin grows with training frequency, so deep conflicts lose by construction. The account predicts that failure should track prior strength: sorting 194 conflicts by the base model's log-probability on the contradicted fact, baseline accuracy falls from 68% on weak-prior questions to 16% on strong-prior ones, a 52 percentage-point gap. The cure is amplitude. Selective Layer Boosting scales the adapter at its top-norm layers, and Conflict-Aware Internalization triggers boosting only when the base model is confident. Both are training-free; together they raise deep-conflict accuracy from 46.4% to 71.0% on Gemma-2B and from 53.6% to 72.5% on Mistral-7B while preserving novel-knowledge recall, and beat vanilla retrieval-augmented generation on medium conflicts by 18 percentage points despite operating entirely in parameter space. We release KID-Bench, a 489-question benchmark that separates novel recall, cross-knowledge combination, and prior-graded conflicts.

Multi-plane architectures have become increasingly prevalent in the Fat-Tree networks of AI data centers. By leveraging multiple ports on a single network interface card (NIC) or multiple NICs within a scale-up domain, each port or NIC is allocated to an independent network plane, thereby provisioning the overall system with multiple network planes. However, no prior literature has explored the application of multi-plane technologies to direct networks such as HyperX. This paper investigates the multi-plane HyperX network and demonstrates that, compared to state-of-the-art network topologies like multi-plane Fat-Tree, Dragonfly, and Dragonfly+, the multi-plane HyperX architecture achieves a significantly smaller network diameter and superior cost-effectiveness.

We propose SHINE (Scalable Hyper In-context NEtwork), a scalable hypernetwork that can map diverse meaningful contexts into high-quality LoRA adapters for large language models (LLMs). By reusing the frozen LLM's own parameters in an in-context hypernetwork design and introducing architectural innovations, SHINE overcomes key limitations of prior hypernetworks and achieves strong expressive power with a relatively small number of parameters. We introduce a pretraining and instruction fine-tuning pipeline, and train our hypernetwork to generate high quality LoRA adapters from diverse meaningful contexts in a single forward pass. It updates LLM parameters without any fine-tuning, and immediately enables complex question answering tasks related to the context without directly accessing the context, effectively transforming in-context knowledge to in-parameter knowledge in one pass. Our work achieves outstanding results on various tasks, greatly saves time, computation and memory costs compared to SFT-based LLM adaptation, and shows great potential for scaling. Our code is available at https://github.com/MuLabPKU/SHINE

The increasing deployment of deep learning systems requires systematic evaluation of their reliability in real-world scenarios. Traditional gradient-based adversarial attacks introduce small perturbations that rarely correspond to realistic failures and mainly assess robustness rather than functional behavior. Generative test generation methods offer an alternative but are often limited to simple datasets or constrained input domains. Although diffusion models enable high-fidelity image synthesis, their computational cost and limited controllability restrict their applicability to large-scale testing. We present HyNeA, a generative testing method that enables direct and efficient control over diffusion-based generation. HyNeA provides dataset-free controllability through hypernetworks, allowing targeted manipulation of the generative process without relying on architecture-specific conditioning mechanisms or dataset-driven adaptations such as fine-tuning. HyNeA employs a distinct training strategy that supports instance-level tuning to identify failure-inducing test cases without requiring datasets that explicitly contain examples of similar failures. This approach enables the targeted generation of realistic failure cases at substantially lower computational cost than search-based methods. Experimental results show that HyNeA improves controllability and test diversity compared to existing generative test generators and generalizes to domains where failure-labeled training data is unavailable.
