  • IPF minimizes the strictly convex Kullback-Leibler divergence over the set of matrices with prescribed margins.

    “IPF minimizes the strictly convex Kullback-Leibler divergence [15, 16] (see Sect. 5.2.2) over the set of matrices with the prescribed margins.”

    From Classical Paradigm of Transportation Modeling (2026) · cites this paper as [16]

    Section 2 (pp. 1–2) defines information and divergence between probability distributions, and Lemma 3.1 (p. 4) uses the positive second derivative of t log t to establish a strict equality condition. The paper does not address IPF or show that it minimizes divergence over matrices with prescribed margins. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Introducing KL divergence loss between predictions of the quantized network and the full-precision network as soft labels recovers the performance of the quantized network.

    “we introduce the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence loss [28] between the predictions of the quantized network and the full-precision network as soft labels to align their outputs, thereby recovering the performance of the quantized network”
  • RWalk improves the regularization methods of EWC and SI and further improves performance, but it still retains some old data for performance reasons, which shows the effectiveness of rehearsal strategies for mitigating catastrophic forgetting.

    “Rwalk improves the regularization methods of EWC and SI, and further improves the performance based on them. However, for performance reasons, some old data are still retained. This shows the effectiveness of rehearsal strategies for mitigating catastrophic forgetting.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
