1/ Excited to share that our paper “The Expert Strikes Back” has been accepted to #ICML2026!

We ask: does sparse routing in MoE language models make them easier to interpret?

[Naoki Masuyama @n__masuyama]

Our paper has been accepted to Neural Computing and Applications.

We propose a parameter-free ART-based topological clustering algorithm for continual learning.

The method automatically estimates key thresholds, eliminating manual tuning.
