Hybrid Reconstruction of Admissible Spline Spaces from Locally Modified Unclamped Patches for Isogeometric Analysis

Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a decoupled reconstruction framework that temporarily decomposes a NURBS representation into independent local Active Sections, enabling arbitrary local knot insertion, degree elevation, and basis modifications while preserving exact CAD geometry. However, these independent modifications inevitably violate inter-patch continuity, requiring a robust algebraic recovery of global admissibility. We introduce a novel reconstruction methodology that...

Soft Curriculum Learning for Optimizing Fresh and Generalized Recommendations

arXiv:2609.35783v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale recommender systems, particularly short-form video platforms, are often bottlenecked by massive popularity feedback loops. In such environments, as models recommend popular items, they generate an overwhelming amount of skewed training data for "head" items. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle where retrieval and ranking models memorize "head" item patterns at the expense of generalizing across the vast "tail" of the catalogue.
