Neural Networks with Differentiable Belief-Function Layers
arXiv:2610.30173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Yager's 1987 rule of combination $\boxplus$ was proposed on epistemic grounds: under high conflict, mass should be redistributed to ignorance rather than renormalised onto the class simplex. We observe that backpropagation needs…

Route-and-Generate: KL-Regularized Router Improvement for Reasoning Routing in LLMs
arXiv:2610.30351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models often apply complex reasoning indiscriminately, leading to overthinking on simple tasks and underthinking on harder ones. We present Route-and-Generate (Rouge), a hierarchical training framework that enables…
