Assigning and optimising airport ground-handling operations: an rVNS metaheuristic

This paper presents a cooperative reduced Variable Neighbourhood Search (rVNS) metaheuristic to optimize the complex Multi-Trip Capacitated Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem with Time Windows and Meal Breaks (MTCVRSPTW-MB) for airport catering operations, demonstrating its superior efficiency and mileage reduction over exact methods on real-life instances at San Francisco International Airport.

From Organizational Knowledge to AI Agent Memory: Empirical Validation of the SECI Model on the LongMemEval Benchmark

This paper empirically validates the application of the SECI knowledge creation model to AI agent memory by demonstrating that transforming conversational history into structured knowledge significantly outperforms raw verbatim storage in long-term retrieval tasks, primarily by mitigating embedding window truncation that causes raw storage to lose approximately 90% of session content.

Classification Fidelity of Large Language Models on Endodontic Items from the Turkish Dental Specialty Examination

This study evaluates the classification fidelity of four large language models in categorizing endodontic examination questions across three educational taxonomies, revealing that while models like Gemini and DeepSeek achieve substantial agreement for Bloom's and SOLO taxonomies, all models struggle with Miller's Pyramid, demonstrating that LLM performance is taxonomy-dependent and distinct from answer accuracy.

Accumulated-History Replicator SelectionOptimization: Algorithm Design, TheoreticalGrounding, and Experimental Analysis (MycelialNetwork Optimization)

This paper introduces the Accumulated-History Replicator Selection (AHRS) framework and its Mycelial Network Optimization (MNO) algorithm, which leverage exponentially weighted historical fitness data to outperform standard population-based optimizers on complex, non-separable landscapes while being theoretically grounded in evolutionary game theory and Fisher's Fundamental Theorem.
