Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Electronic synthesizer sounds are controlled by parameter settings that yield complex timbral characteristics and ADSR envelopes, making synthesizer-style audio transfer particularly challenging. Recent approaches to timbre transfer often rely on spectral objectives or implicit style matching, offering limited control over envelope shaping. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Pipeline parallelism is widely used to train large language models (LLMs). However, increasing heterogeneity in model architectures exacerbates pipeline bubbles, thereby reducing training efficiency. Prior approaches typically optimize a single phase of the pipeline schedule (i.e., partitioning, placement, or scheduling), leaving substantial pipeline bubbles. While promising, co-optimization poses three key challenges: […]
