Beyond Query Memorization: Large Language Model Routing with Query Decomposition and Historical Matching

arXiv:2605.25558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing the trade-off among predictive performance and computational cost is a central focus in the deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs). Current routing methods primarily rely on direct mapping from queries to models based on surface-level features, making them susceptible to the memorization trap and leading to poor generalizability on out-of-distribution (OOD) data. In this paper, we propose DecoR, a novel routing framework that recasts the routing task as a matching process of sifting similar queries from historical logs, effectively mitigating the memorization trap. To enhance matching accuracy, we introduce a query capability deconstruction method that decouples linguistic surface forms from task-intrinsic requirements, directing matching toward capability dimensions to ground decisions in essential task attributes. Furthermore, we develop CodaSet, a comprehensive benchmark for assessing routing generalization, where experimental results demonstrate that DecoR maintains superior accuracy while substantially lowering inference costs across both in-distribution and OOD settings.

UniCA: Unified Covariate Adaptation for Time Series Foundation Model

arXiv:2506.22039v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) have achieved remarkable success through large-scale pretraining. However, their design primarily targets real-valued series, limiting their ability to handle general forecasting tasks involving diverse and often heterogeneous covariates -- such as categorical variables and multimodal data (e.g., images, text) -- which are typically task-specific and difficult to leverage during pretraining. To address this gap, we propose Unified Covariate Adaptation (UniCA), a framework to bridge TSFMs with general covariate-aware forecasting. UniCA first performs covariate homogenization to transform heterogeneous covariates into high-level homogeneous series representations and then fuses them via a unified attention-based fusion mechanism. UniCA is compatible and universal for adaptation with both homogeneous and heterogeneous covariates, incorporating extra covariate information while preserving the generalization ability of TSFMs.Extensive experiments on multiple unimodal and multimodal covariate-aware forecasting benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of UniCA, highlighting the promise of covariate-aware TSFM adaptation in real-world forecasting scenarios.Code: https://github.com/hanlu-nju/UniCA.

Tuning the sensitivity of mechanosensory receptors through histidine scanning

Histidine scanning represents a broadly applicable technique for the identification of critical interaction sites within TCRs and other mechanosensory receptors to enhance receptor signaling strength and augment therapeutic efficacy via the catch bond mechanism.
