DualOptim+: Bridging Shared and Decoupled Optimizer States for Better Machine Unlearning in Large Language Models

2026-05-20 · Xuyang Zhong, Qizhang Li, Yiwen Guo, Chen Liu arxiv

We propose DualOptim+, a novel optimization framework for improving machine unlearning in large language models. It introduces a base state to capture common representations shared by forgetting and retaining objectives and delta states to preserve objective-specific residuals. This architecture allows the optimizer to adaptively bridge shared and decoupled states based on the directional conflict between forgetting and retaining gradients. We further introduce DualOptim+ 8bit, a quantized variant that reduces memory overhead without compromising performance. Extensive experiments across fictitious and real-world unlearning, safety alignment, and multi-task learning tasks demonstrate that DualOptim+ consistently achieves a superior trade-off between different objectives. Codes are available at https://github.com/CityU-MLO/DualOptimPlus.

Bridging Hidden States in Vision-Language Models

2025-11-14 · Benjamin Fein-Ashley, Jacob Fein-Ashley arxiv

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are a new family of models that align image content with natural language. Existing approaches typically fuse either (a) early: by mixing tokens/features inside the encoders, or (b) late: by…

Recent work has shown that orthonormal matrix updates speed up neural network optimization, improve training stability, and offer better hyperparameter transfer across model sizes. Applying these updates efficiently when…

Hidden Failure Modes of Gradient Modification under Adam in Continual Learning, and Adaptive Decoupled Moment Routing as a Repair

2026-04-24 · Yuelin Hu, Zhenbo Yu, Zhengxue Cheng, Wei Liu 외 arxiv

Many continual-learning methods modify gradients upstream (e.g., projection, penalty rescaling, replay mixing) while treating Adam as a neutral backend. We show this composition has a hidden failure mode. In a high-overl…

Fantastic Pretraining Optimizers and Where to Find Them II: Hyperball Optimization

2026-06-15 · Kaiyue Wen, Xingyu Dang, Kaifeng Lyu, Tengyu Ma 외 arxiv

Matrix based optimizers such as Muon can substantially speed up language model pretraining, but their gains over AdamW are observed to shrink as model size and data scale grow when using standard constant decoupled weigh…
