Researchers studying Focal Calibration Loss (FCL) found that while it preserves the Bayes decision rule for all gamma and lambda, it is generally not proper for gamma > 0, causing the Bayes-optimal probability vector to …
A new arXiv preprint (2608.20054v3) reports that slot-selective evidence masking, which restricts each module in a four-cell society to its own evidence span, improved compositional generalization over globally visible t…
A new arXiv preprint (2608.24568v1) proves that progressive grow-and-optimize training biases deep neural networks toward flatter loss-landscape minima via a volume effect from frozen constraints, but finds in ResNet/CIF…
