Safe Receding-Horizon Neural Topology Switching

Treat a change in a neural network mask, expert set, layer width, or adapter configuration as an optimal transition problem rather than an instantaneous switch. A cheap planner proposes a short sequence of topology masks and parameter interpolations, while an expensive forward-pass feasibility filter rejects each candidate intermediate model if it violates accuracy, activation, norm, latency, or memory limits. This permits dynamic pruning and MoE reconfiguration with a certificate that the…
