Observed writing choices, not acceptance rules. This study examines the inspected manuscript version. It does not establish why the paper was accepted or that its presentation choices should be copied unchanged.

Figure, table and section ledger

Editorial contribution type: Efficiency, inference & systems (primary).

Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages

The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization

1. Alignment before fusion

   Diagnose modality-dependent matching failures before introducing adaptive attention alignment.

2. Budgeted adaptation

   Describe alignment and mixture-of-experts fusion separately, then test task coverage and parameter-sensitive configurations.

Problem, claim and contribution

The paper treats growing trainable-parameter counts as a contradiction of PEFT's goal and motivates alignment rather than only larger fusion modules.

Abstract and Introduction · Main paper

Argument and section order

Alignment and fusion are separate method subsections, reflected by distinct component and configuration ablations.

Sections 3.2–3.3 and 4.3 · Main paper

Figures, captions and visual explanation

The pipeline uses a legend for template/candidate modalities and fire/snowflake symbols for trainable/frozen modules, with zoomed alignment and fusion panels.

Figure 2, PDF p. 4 · Main paper

Tables, comparisons and evidence

Head/expert-count tables report parameter budgets with performance, while missing-frame attention panels diagnose a concrete modality failure rather than only overall averages.

Tables 4–5 and Figure 5, PDF p. 7 · Main paper

Appendix and reproducibility

The available reproducibility trail is the main implementation and ablation sections; no supplementary PDF inspection is claimed.

Sections 4.1–4.3 · Main paper

Clarity and writing conventions

The limitations paragraph explicitly acknowledges underperformance on some metrics, qualifying the broad simplicity/efficiency framing.

Conclusion, PDF p. 8 · Main paper

What to reuse—and what not to infer

Transferable lesson: For PEFT methods, annotate frozen versus trainable parts in the architecture and couple every capacity sweep with both parameter count and task performance.

Boundary: Learnable parameters are not equivalent to runtime or total model memory. Radar/attention illustrations should support, not replace, controlled missing-modality tests.

Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
