Quantizing AdamW's optimizer states reduces persistent storage, but quantization errors propagate through the moment recurrences and perturb subsequent adaptive updates. We redesign 4-bit optimizer-state quantization for AdamW from the perspective of \emph{rounding space}: the coordinate in which a quantizer chooses be …

Sequential recommenders can generate synthetic interaction sequences and retrain on the augmented corpus in a recursive self-improvement loop. To limit error accumulation, current methods verify each generated sequence remains predictive of the user's real interactions and discard those that drift away from it. Verific …

Customer experience (CX) agents use tools and large language models to address customer requests and guide conversational interactions with an organization's products. Improving these agents, especially in regulated industries, is difficult: they must detect intent, follow complex operational policies and use tools rel …
