Leaderboards, eval harnesses and ablations — the contested business of deciding which model is actually better.
arXiv:2608. 10969v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Healthcare data, such as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) records, comprise heterogeneous multivariate time series sampled at irregular intervals with pervasive missingness.
arXiv:2608. 11061v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale neural recommender systems are typically trained with a softmax cross-entropy objective over the full item vocabulary.
arXiv:2608. 11162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Naive Bayes (NB) classifier remains a standard choice for categorical data, yet its widely used smoothing rules, such as Laplace, Lidstone, Krichevsky-Trofimov, and the $m$-estimate, all prescribe a fixed smoothing strength that ignores feature cardinality, sample size, and class imbalance, inducing a non-vanishing bias on modern high-cardinality tabular data.
arXiv:2606. 15237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensemble classifiers are predictive models that combine the results of simpler base models, often by majority vote.
arXiv:2608. 10245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inventory and distribution planning in Physical Internet networks requires coordinating factory-hub assignments, factory supply, lateral transshipment among collaborative hubs, retailer deliveries, and shortages.
arXiv:2608. 10289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains as perception modules, where failures are often caused due to rare and under-represented scenarios.
arXiv:2608. 10418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that, for smooth convex optimization, plain gradient descent can be accelerated from its textbook convergence rate of $O(T^{-1})$ (where $T$ denotes the number of iterations) to $O\big(T^{-\log_2(1+\sqrt{2})}\big)$ using carefully designed stepsize schedules alone, without resorting to momentum or other algorithmic modifications.
arXiv:2608. 10532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Static load balancers cannot mitigate a backend that is degraded rather than down: round-robin and least-connections keep routing traffic to a server returning HTTP 500s until an operator intervenes.
arXiv:2509. 13211v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The ability to learn continuously over time remains a major challenge for modern machine learning systems, even in the era of Foundation Models.
arXiv:2602. 01747v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated Essay Scoring (AES) plays a crucial role in education by providing scalable and efficient assessment tools.
arXiv:2602. 24188v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a scalable and verifiable methodology for evaluating language models in multi-turn interactions, using a suite of collaborative games that require effective communication about private information.
arXiv:2604. 11827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning is revolutionizing chemistry.
arXiv:2607. 24850v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled search agents to autonomously tackle complex tasks across extended search and reasoning horizons.
arXiv:2608. 09944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern web interfaces are increasingly difficult to use with screen readers, particularly when pages update dynamically or hide important structure behind visual layout.
arXiv:2608. 10042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-use LLMs are increasingly asked to act on users' behalf, but existing benchmarks usually focus on profile recall, style imitation, generic tool use, or response-level personalization.
arXiv:2608. 10447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model-based recommender systems are increasingly adopting slow-thinking models that generate step-by-step reasoning before making predictions, often achieving higher accuracy than fast-thinking models that predict directly.
arXiv:2608. 10513v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models (LVLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks that exploit visual inputs to bypass safety alignment inherited from their language backbones.
arXiv:2608. 10522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While vision-language models dominate medical representation learning, unstructured text lacks the dense, quantitative diagnostic phenotypes inherent in structured clinical tables.
arXiv:2608. 10589v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents $\pi$-SUB, a physics-informed framework for generating synthetic underwater benchmark datasets that bridges the synthetic-to-real gap for Underwater Image Enhancement (UIE).
arXiv:2608. 10699v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-Attributed Graphs (TAGs), endowed with abundant textual content along with topological structures, have emerged as a versatile backbone for real-world anomaly detection spanning large language model security, social network moderation, and cyber threat identification.
