Quantization has shown strong results in preserving model quality under compression. However, under aggressive bit-width reductions, even quantization may require additional information to prevent performance degradation. A natural source of it is second-order curvature information, captured by t...

Offline evaluation of recommender systems is often affected by hidden, under-documented choices in data preparation. Seemingly minor decisions in filtering, handling repeats, cold-start treatment, and splitting strategy design can substantially reorder model rankings and undermine reproducibility...
