PaGNet is a hybrid panel‑aware model that combines a LightGBM branch with panel‑temporal summaries and a Panel‑MLP branch using attention‑pooled aggregation and shared‑trunk multi‑task learning. It produces predictions for corporate tax avoidance proxies while providing a per‑target diagnostic that indicates which branch contributed most to each forecast. On a panel of 1,754 Korean firms, PaGNet improves explained variance over six baselines by 0.08–0.11 on key accrual targets and demonstrates stable routing and diagnostic consistency across different feature regimes.

Personalized incentive allocation is vital for e-commerce, where uplift modeling is the standard for estimating Individual Treatment Effects (ITE). However, traditional models often fail in complex multi-seller environments with violations of the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA).

arXiv:2607. 07343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online truckload bid acceptance is a closed-loop stochastic decision problem in which a carrier or broker must, in real time, accept or reject a tendered load subject to operational feasibility, fleet repositioning costs, and opportunity cost against future demand.

The paper introduces a regime‑diagnosis framework for industrial time‑series forecasting, highlighting that canonical loss functions embed fixed statistical priors that are violated in real‑world demand regimes such as zero‑inflation, skewness, and high variability. It proposes the Regime‑wise Relative Bias Vector (RBV) as a metric‑agnostic diagnostic that decomposes bias into an intrinsic floor and an excess attributable to training. A large‑scale study across 13 loss objectives and 60,000+ series demonstrates that regime‑aware diagnosis distinguishes optimization‑from‑bias failures and that regime‑aware training can eliminate pooling‑induced bias that mere capacity scaling cannot.
