| 2025 | Think and Recall: Layer-Level Prompting for Lifelong Model EditingabstractLifelong model editing aims to dynamically adjust a model's output concerning specific facts, knowledge items, or behaviors, enabling the model to adapt to the evolving demands of realworld applications.While some retrieval-based methods have demonstrated potential in lifelong editing scenarios by storing edited knowledge in external memory, they often suffer from limitations in usability, such as requiring additional training corpora or lacking support for reversible and detachable edits.To address these issues, we propose a plug-and-play method for knowledge retrieval and injection, i.e., Layer-Level Prompting (LLP), which enables seamless and efficient lifelong model editing.In our LLP framework, the reasoning process of LLMs is divided into two stages, respectively, knowledge retrieval (Thinking) and knowledge injection (Recalling).Specifically, the knowledge retrieval process is performed in the early layers of the model, using layer outputs as thinking clues.And access the updated knowledge from memory in the subsequent layer to complete the knowledge injection process.Experimental results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing techniques on lifelong model editing tasks, achieving superior performance on question answering and hallucination benchmarks across different LLMs. Jinke Wang, Zenan Ying, Qi Liu 0003, Wei Chen 0156, Tong Xu 0001, Huijun Hou, Zhi Zheng 0008 |

| 2025 | SGN: Shifted Window-Based Hierarchical Variable Grouping for Multivariate Time Series ClassificationabstractMultivariate time series (MTS) classification has attracted increasing attention across various domains. Existing methods either decompose MTS into separate univariate series, ignoring inter-variable dependencies, or jointly model all variables, which may lead to over-smoothing and loss of semantic structure. These limitations become particularly pronounced when dealing with complex and heterogeneous variable types.
To address these challenges, we propose SwinGroupNet (SGN), which explores a novel perspective for constructing variable interaction and temporal dependency.
Specifically, SGN processes multi-scale time series using (1)
Variable Group Embedding (VGE), which partitions variables into groups and performs independent group-wise embedding; (2) Multi-Scale Group Window Mixing (MGWM), which reconstructs variable interactions by modeling both intra-group and inter-group dependencies while extracting multi-scale temporal features; and (3) Periodic Window Shifting and Merging (PWSM), which exploits inherent periodic patterns to enable hierarchical temporal interaction and feature aggregation. Extensive experiments on diverse benchmark datasets from multiple domains demonstrate that SGN consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, with an average improvement of 4.2% over existing methods.
