Efficient Model Adaptation, Correction, and Specialized Evaluation

Research is moving beyond raw scaling toward targeted adaptation: frozen-model correction, modular fact-checking, layer-wise compression, token merging, and domain-specific or scientific benchmarks. The goal is greater reliability and domain performance without retraining or inflating compute.
