Boomerang Distillation Enables Zero-Shot Model Size Interpolation
Real-world deployments of LLMs require models of different sizes to meet performance, latency, and cost targets. Yet pretraining every size is prohibitively expensive, leaving large gaps in size-performance curves. We identify a novel phenomenon, Boomerang Distillation, which occurs when distilling a large language model into a smaller one. In this blog post, we describe how Boomerang Distillation can be used to create entire families of LLMs of fine-grained sizes from a single student-teacher pair without any additional training.

JEPA as a Neural Tokenizer: Learning Robust Speech Representations with Density Adaptive Attention
A two-stage self-supervised framework combining Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture with density-adaptive attention for efficient speech tokenization and reconstruction through mixed-radix quantization
At the exciting intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, a fascinating pattern emerges: different neural models often converge on similar representations when exposed to the same stimuli. Our UniReps Blogpost Track, is a fresh and creative platform for sharing insights, fostering transparent discussions, and sparking interdisciplinary collaborations on this topic.
Why blogposts? Not everything fits neatly into a research paper! Blogposts offer a flexible, engaging way to communicate cutting-edge ideas, early-stage results, or even well-established methods. Drawing inspiration from formats like Distill, and being already tested in venues like ICLR and the GRAM workshop (for a sample blogpost directly from them, scroll down!), this track allows for clearer storytelling and makes complex research accessible to a broader audience.
What can you submit? We welcome blogposts that cover a wide range of formats, including:
- New or early-stage research results 🧑🔬
- Tutorial-style summaries of key methods and literature 🔍
- Opinion pieces on relevant topics in UniReps 🧠
All submissions will undergo peer review, and accepted posts will be published on our website and promoted across social channels. You'll also get the opportunity to present your blogpost in a poster format during the workshop!

Important dates:- To showcase your blogpost during the poster session of UniReps at NeurIPS 2025, the submission deadline is:
15th October 2025 (AoE)25th October 2025 (AoE)31st October 2025 (AoE)
