- Large Language Models Can Help Mitigate Barren Plateaus in Quantum Neural Networks (2026 · 1 citation)
Quantum neural networks (QNNs) are often untrainable because of barren plateaus (BPs). At initialization, gradient variance shrinks exponentially as qubits are added, so gradient-based optimizers stall almost immediately. Existing initialization fixes, such as GaInit and BeInit, sample parameters once from a fixed… - Now You Hear Me: Audio Narrative Attacks Against Large Audio–Language Models (2026)
The paper asks whether the way something is said, and not only its wording, can make large audio–language models (LALMs) ignore their safety training.
