SAME: Stabilizing MoE to Reduce Dual Forgetting in Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning

The paper identifies routing drift and expert drift as the two main causes of forgetting in multimodal continual instruction tuning (MCIT) and proposes SAME, which combines spectral‑aware routing, curvature‑aware scaling, and adaptive expert activation to keep MoE models stable, efficient, and less forgetful across long task sequences.

Do AI-Generated Images Invert Aesthetic Preferences? ICML 2026 Spotlight

The ICML 2026 spotlight paper argues that universal aesthetic alignment in image‑generation models narrows artistic expression, presents six interrelated concerns, and demonstrates through extensive prompts and benchmark tests that reward models and aligned generators stubbornly favor homogenized, overly positive imagery while failing to honor anti‑aesthetic or negative‑emotion requests.
