Heterogeneous Sheaf Neural Networks
Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.08036, 2024
HetSheaf is a cellular-sheaf framework for heterogeneous graphs that encodes node and edge types through type-aware local feature spaces and learned restriction maps — without specialised architectural components. The companion SheafPool readout is invariant to basis changes and enables graph-level prediction. Gains of up to +2 pp on the Heterogeneous Graph Benchmark with up to 10× fewer parameters.

Z-SASLM: Zero-Shot Style-Aligned SLI Blending for Latent Manipulation
Published in CVPR (Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition) 2025 Workshops (Nashville, USA 🇺🇸), 2025
Z-SASLM introduces a zero-shot, fine-tuning-free approach to style alignment in diffusion models by blending multiple reference styles directly in latent space using spherical linear interpolation (SLI) with learned, context-aware weights. The method avoids model retraining, preserves content semantics, and yields consistent style transfer across prompts and seeds.

Remember to Forget: Gated Adaptive Positional Encoding
Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:2605.10414, 2026
GAPE (Gated Adaptive Positional Encoding) addresses core limitations of RoPE in long-context language models. A content-aware bias is injected directly into attention logits while preserving rotary geometry: query-dependent and key-dependent gates suppress irrelevant distant tokens while protecting salient context, improving attention sharpness and long-context performance on retrieval and standard benchmarks.
