RegionFed: Federated Learning for Personalized Query Understanding in Heterogeneous Retail Environments
RegionFed is a gradient-level federated learning framework enabling personalized retail query understanding while matching centralized accuracy with differential privacy.
RegionFed is an architecture-robust federated learning framework for personalized query understanding that operates at the gradient level, using the l2 conflict between regional and global gradients to diagnose heterogeneity and control personalization. Existing parameter-level personalized FL methods collapse on transformers, falling below 10% accuracy on T5, while RegionFed deploys unchanged on T5-Small, T5-3B, RoBERTa, and CNNs. RegionFed-Meta achieves 92.27% across Amazon ESCI, Amazon Reviews, and LEAF-FEMNIST, within 0.23 percentage points of the centralized upper bound, with epsilon-approx-0.60 differential privacy.

TART: A Modular Tool for Technique-Aware Audio-to-Tablature Guitar Transcription
TART pipeline transcribes guitar audio to tablature with fingering and technique labels, outperforming prior baselines by up to 8.5 Tab F1 points.
TART is a modular four-stage pipeline for audio-to-tablature guitar transcription, combining an audio-to-MIDI transcription model, an expressive technique classifier, an audio-conditioned T5 encoder-decoder for string-fret assignment, and an automated tablature generator. In zero-shot evaluation on GuitarSet, EGDB, and two noisy augmented benchmarks, it averages 81.35% audio-to-MIDI F50 (+6.67 over the best baseline), 71.8% string-fret Tab F1 (+8.5), and 54.08% end-to-end Tab F1. The authors state it is the first framework to generate tablature with both fingering and expressive technique annotations directly from guitar audio.
