DeCoFlow: Structural Decomposition of Normalizing Flows for Continual Anomaly Detection

In industrial environments, new product categories arrive sequentially, requiring continual anomaly detection without access to past data. Normalizing Flows (NFs) provide exact density estimation but suffer from catastrophic forgetting as parameter updates across tasks distort the density manifold. While parameter isolation can prevent interference, it must preserve the strict invertibility and Jacobian validity of NFs. To satisfy these requirements, we exploit the inherent property that affine coupling layers maintain transformation validity regardless of subnet parameterization. Based on this, we propose DeCoFlow, which decomposes subnets into a frozen universal base and task-specific low-rank adapters to isolate updates. We further introduce Task-Specific Alignment, Auxiliary Coupling Layers, and Tail-Aware Loss to compensate for frozen-base rigidity. DeCoFlow achieves state-of-the-art image-level AUROCs of 98.40% on MVTec-AD and 93.00% on VisA, while maintaining parameter-level zero forgetting (0.00% FM under correct routing) with only 2.27M parameters per task.

GRTX: Efficient Ray Tracing for 3D Gaussian-Based Rendering

3D Gaussian Splatting has gained widespread adoption across diverse applications due to its exceptional rendering performance and visual quality. While most existing methods rely on rasterization to render Gaussians, recent research has started investigating ray tracing approaches to overcome the fundamental limitations inherent in rasterization. However, current Gaussian ray tracing methods suffer from inefficiencies such as bloated acceleration structures and redundant node traversals, which greatly degrade ray tracing performance. In this work, we present GRTX, a set of software and hardware optimizations that enable efficient ray tracing for 3D Gaussian-based rendering. First, we introduce a novel approach for constructing streamlined acceleration structures for Gaussian primitives. Our key insight is that anisotropic Gaussians can be treated as unit spheres through ray space transformations, which substantially reduces BVH size and traversal overhead. Second, we propose dedicated hardware support for traversal checkpointing within ray tracing units. This eliminates redundant node visits during multi-round tracing by resuming traversal from checkpointed nodes rather than restarting from the root node in each subsequent round. Our evaluation shows that GRTX significantly improves ray tracing performance compared to the baseline ray tracing method with a negligible hardware cost.

Mitigating Long-Tailed Anomaly Score Distributions with Importance-Weighted Loss

Anomaly detection is crucial in industrial applications for identifying rare and unseen patterns to ensure system reliability. Traditional models, trained on a single class of normal data, struggle with real-world distributions where normal data exhibit diverse patterns, leading to class imbalance and long-tailed anomaly score distributions (LTD). This imbalance skews model training and degrades detection performance, especially for minority instances. To address this issue, we propose a novel importance-weighted loss designed specifically for anomaly detection. Compared to the previous method for LTD in classification, our method does not require prior knowledge of normal data classes. Instead, we introduce a weighted loss function that incorporates importance sampling to align the distribution of anomaly scores with a target Gaussian, ensuring a balanced representation of normal data. Extensive experiments on three benchmark image datasets and three real-world hyperspectral imaging datasets demonstrate the robustness of our approach in mitigating LTD-induced bias. Our method improves anomaly detection performance by 0.043, highlighting its effectiveness in real-world applications.

Anomaly Detection with Adaptive and Aggressive Rejection for Contaminated Training Data

Handling contaminated data poses a critical challenge in anomaly detection, as traditional models assume training on purely normal data. Conventional methods mitigate contamination by relying on fixed contamination ratios, but discrepancies between assumed and actual ratios can severely degrade performance, especially in noisy environments where normal and abnormal data distributions overlap. To address these limitations, we propose Adaptive and Aggressive Rejection (AAR), a novel method that dynamically excludes anomalies using a modified z-score and Gaussian mixture model-based thresholds. AAR effectively balances the trade-off between preserving normal data and excluding anomalies by integrating hard and soft rejection strategies. Extensive experiments on two image datasets and thirty tabular datasets demonstrate that AAR outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 0.041 AUROC. By providing a scalable and reliable solution, AAR enhances robustness against contaminated datasets, paving the way for broader real-world applications in domains such as security and healthcare.

MX+: Pushing the Limits of Microscaling Formats for Efficient Large Language Model Serving

Reduced-precision data formats are crucial for cost-effective serving of large language models (LLMs). While numerous reduced-precision formats have been introduced thus far, they often require intrusive modifications to the software frameworks or are rather unconventional for widespread adoption across hardware vendors. In this paper, we instead focus on recent industry-driven variants of block floating-point (BFP) formats and conduct a comprehensive analysis to push their limits for efficient LLM serving. Our analysis shows that existing ultra low-bit BFP variants struggle to provide reasonable language model performance due to outlier values in blocks. To address the outliers with BFPs, we propose MX+, a cost-effective and non-intrusive extension designed for seamless integration into the microscaling (MX) formats. MX+ builds on the key insight that the outlier does not need to use its exponent field in the element data type, which allows us to repurpose the exponent field as an extended mantissa to increase the precision of the outlier element. Our evaluation shows that MX+ achieves significantly higher model performance compared to the 4-bit MX format (MXFP4) with negligible storage overhead and slowdown, thus offering a compelling alternative to MXFP4 or MXFP6 for efficient LLM inference.

InfiniGen: Efficient Generative Inference of Large Language Models with Dynamic KV Cache Management

Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive performance across various natural language processing tasks. Serving LLM inference for generating long contents, however, poses a challenge due to the enormous memory footprint of the transient state, known as the key-value (KV) cache, which scales with the sequence length and batch size. In this paper, we present InfiniGen, a novel KV cache management framework tailored for long-text generation, which synergistically works with modern offloading-based inference systems. InfiniGen leverages the key insight that a few important tokens that are essential for computing the subsequent attention layer in the Transformer can be speculated by performing a minimal rehearsal with the inputs of the current layer and part of the query weight and key cache of the subsequent layer. This allows us to prefetch only the essential KV cache entries (without fetching them all), thereby mitigating the fetch overhead from the host memory in offloading-based LLM serving systems. Our evaluation on several representative LLMs shows that InfiniGen improves the overall performance of a modern offloading-based system by up to 3.00x compared to prior KV cache management methods while offering substantially better model accuracy.

Tender: Accelerating Large Language Models via Tensor Decomposition and Runtime Requantization

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate outstanding performance in various tasks in machine learning and have thus become one of the most important workloads in today's computing landscape. However, deploying LLM inference poses challenges due to the high compute and memory requirements stemming from the enormous model size and the difficulty of running it in the integer pipelines. In this paper, we present Tender, an algorithm-hardware co-design solution that enables efficient deployment of LLM inference at low precision. Based on our analysis of outlier values in LLMs, we propose a decomposed quantization technique in which the scale factors of decomposed matrices are powers of two apart. The proposed scheme allows us to avoid explicit requantization (i.e., dequantization/quantization) when accumulating the partial sums from the decomposed matrices, with a minimal extension to the commodity tensor compute hardware. Our evaluation shows that Tender achieves higher accuracy and inference performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods while also being significantly less intrusive to the existing accelerators.
