arXiv:2604.05195v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlike traditional homogeneous routing problems, the Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem (HFVRP) involves heterogeneous fixed costs, variable travel costs, and capacity constraints, rendering solution quality highly sensitive to vehicle selection. Furthermore, real-world logistics applications often…
arXiv:2601.16399v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study a structured bi-level optimization problem where the upper-level objective is a smooth function and the lower-level problem is policy optimization in a Markov decision process (MDP). The upper-level decision variable parameterizes the reward…
arXiv:2604.05217v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural language models process sequences of words, but the mathematical operations inside them are insensitive to the order in which words appear. Positional encodings are the component added to remedy this. Despite their importance, positional…
arXiv:2602.20309v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models unify perception, language, and control for embodied agents but face significant challenges in practical deployment due to rapidly increasing compute and memory demands, especially as models scale to longer horizons and larger…
arXiv:2604.05230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient and robust optimization is essential for neural networks, enabling scientific machine learning models to converge rapidly to very high accuracy — faithfully capturing complex physical behavior governed by differential equations. In this work, we…
arXiv:2604.01349v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reservoir simulation workflows face a fundamental data asymmetry: input parameter fields (geostatistical permeability realizations, porosity distributions) are free to generate in arbitrary quantities, yet existing neural operator surrogates require large corpora of expensive labeled simulation…
arXiv:2603.22816v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Language models increasingly “show their work” by writing step-by-step reasoning before answering. But are these reasoning steps genuinely used, or decorative narratives generated after the model has already decided? We introduce step-level faithfulness evaluation –…
arXiv:2506.22480v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As users in small cell networks increasingly rely on computation-intensive services, cloud-based access often results in high latency. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) mitigates this by bringing computational resources closer to end users, with small base…
arXiv:2512.20983v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated in clinical settings using multi-dimensional rubrics which quantify reasoning quality, safety, and patient-centeredness. Yet, replicating specific mistakes in other LLM models is not straightforward and often requires manual…
arXiv:2602.13151v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) unlearning aims to remove targeted knowledge from a trained model, but practical deployments often require post-training quantization (PTQ) for efficient inference. However, aggressive low-bit PTQ can mask unlearning updates, causing quantized…
