Flow-Through Tensors: A Unified Computational Graph Architecture for Multi-Layer Transportation Network Optimization

arXiv:2507.02961v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern transportation network modeling increasingly involves the integration of diverse methodologies including sensor-based forecasting, reinforcement learning, classical flow optimization, and demand modeling that have traditionally been developed in isolation. This paper introduces Flow Through Tensors (FTT), a unified computational graph…

When Less is More: 8-bit Quantization Improves Continual Learning in Large Language Models

arXiv:2512.18934v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting poses a fundamental challenge in continual learning, particularly when models are quantized for deployment efficiency. We systematically investigate the interplay between quantization precision (FP16, INT8, INT4) and replay buffer strategies in large language models, revealing unexpected dynamics. While…

Evaluating Implicit Biases in LLM Reasoning through Logic Grid Puzzles

arXiv:2511.06160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While recent safety guardrails effectively suppress overtly biased outputs, subtler forms of social bias emerge during complex logical reasoning tasks that evade current evaluation benchmarks. To fill this gap, we introduce a new evaluation framework, PRIME (Puzzle Reasoning for Implicit…
