Simulation Modeling My class notes on simulation modeling, based on the textbook Simulation Modeling and Analysis (Averill M. Law, 5th edition, McGraw-Hill). 2026-09-08 Maths > Simulation Modeling #Simulation Modeling
1. Discrete Event Simulation What a discrete-event simulation consists of — entities, events, the event list, the clock, and statistical counters — walked through on a single-server FCFS queue. 2026-09-08 Maths > Simulation Modeling #Simulation Modeling
2. Review of Probability and Statistics A recap of the probability and statistics needed for simulation: probability axioms, random variables, convergence modes, stochastic processes, and estimation of means and variances. 2026-09-08 Maths > Simulation Modeling #Simulation Modeling
3. Random Number Generation Every random variate in a simulation is built from i.i.d. U(0,1) numbers; these notes cover where those numbers come from and what makes a generator good. 2026-09-08 Maths > Simulation Modeling #Simulation Modeling
Reading Notes of CacheCraft: Discovering KV Cache Eviction Policies via LLM-Guided Program Evolution AI generated stuff. Does not worth reading. No training. LLM search based on heuristics. 2026-09-07 Reading Notes > NLP > KV Cache #Reading Notes #NLP #KV Cache
Reading Notes of The Pitfalls of KV Cache Compression Evaluation of existing KV cache evicting policies. KV cache eviction discards some instructions but keeps the others. The fix is to either whitelist instruction tokens or evict multiple instructions’ 2026-09-06 Reading Notes > NLP > KV Cache #Reading Notes #NLP #KV Cache
Reading Notes of KVP: Learning to Evict from Key-Value Cache Instead of evicting KV cache with checking whether previous tokens contribute to the current one, learn to predict whether past tokens contribute to the future tokens. Prediction returns a sorted list 2026-09-03 Reading Notes > NLP > KV Cache #Reading Notes #NLP #KV Cache
Reading Notes of H2O: Heavy-Hitter Oracle for Efficient Generative Inference of Large Language Models Given current token, use the query to compute attention with keys in previous tokens. Evict n tokens with least attention scores. Any token that is not relevant to current position is removed (but nev 2026-09-03 Reading Notes > NLP > KV Cache #Reading Notes #NLP #KV Cache
Reading Notes of EvoDS: Self-Evolving Autonomous Data Science Agent with Skill Learning and Context Management A data science agent (Qwen3-8B backbone) trained end-to-end to (1) synthesize and reuse new skills and (2) decide when to compress its own context, via SFT distillation + multi-role GRPO. 2026-09-02 Reading Notes > NLP > LLM Agents #Reading Notes #NLP #LLM Agents
Reading Notes of ACM: Agentic Context Management for Long Horizon Tasks I like the idea of insertion / deletion decisions of context management by on policy distillation, but there should be more analysis here. Also, the comparison is not fair. The compute is not saved. T 2026-09-01 Reading Notes > NLP > LLM Agents #Reading Notes #NLP #LLM Agents
