Reservoir Attention Network: Cross-Pass State in Pretrained Transformers via Content-Addressable Reservoir Injection
The Reservoir Attention Network (RAN) injects a fixed, randomly-initialized reservoir into mid-layer attention of pretrained transformers to carry state across forward passes. Experiments on GPT-2 and Qwen2.5 on a single consumer GPU show feasibility for cross-pass state, with broader always-alive agent vision as future work.
FreeSonic: Training-Free Audio Editing Framework Balances Background Preservation with Temporal Consistency
Researchers propose FreeSonic, a training-free framework leveraging the Rectified Flow-based TangoFlux model for precise audio editing. It uses an optimized inversion-reverse process and joint text-audio attention maps for target segment extraction, with scheduled attention decoupling to preserve background context. The method demonstrates high-fidelity, efficient audio editing including removal and non-rigid replacement.
