Reasoning-augmented vision-language-action (VLA) driving models can perceive and reason about safety-critical hazards yet fail to translate that evidence into safe actions. We characterize this…
We compare the relation between sentiment noise in the Twitter feed and losses for stocks of domestic and foreign firms. The mean quarterly domestic-foreign difference in the slope of next-quarter…
Effective manipulation requires a policy to capture not only about the current scene geometry, but also about how that geometry will evolve under interaction. Existing approaches either augment…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved strong performance on standard robotic manipulation benchmarks. However, their reliability can degrade substantially when task conditions deviate…
Reach-avoid sets, defining the states from which a task can be completed while avoiding unsafe regions, are fundamental tools for deploying robots in environments subject to disturbances and…
Groundwater in Ghana's Densu River Basin remains a key domestic water source, but multi-metal contamination threatens children's health. Previous deterministic hazard index assessments provide…
High-quality training data are a major bottleneck in machine learning, motivating increasing use of artificially generated data. We study when a binary classifier trained on synthetic data transfers…
In the classical necklace splitting problem, beads of different colors lie on a line, and the goal is to divide them among $k$ agents using as few cuts as possible so that every agent receives the…
Imitation learning increasingly relies on novice operators, whose demonstrations fall short of experts' in number and inter-trial consistency. Operators act on what they are shown, yet how the…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are exact on small sets and drift into estimation on larger ones, a profile reminiscent of children before they master counting. Children cross the barrier with…
Bidimensional data integration across multiple cohorts (i.e., sample groups) and views (i.e., sources or modalities) is crucial in biomedical research to derive holistic insights from heterogeneous…
We study minimum-time escape of an omnidirectional evader from the forward conic field of view of a Reeds-Shepp pursuer with minimum turning radius $r$. For speed ratio $ν$ and cone half-angle…
Stochastic optimization with high-fidelity nonlinear models is often computationally prohibitive because each objective evaluation requires sampling-based uncertainty quantification inside an outer…
Alarms in industrial systems and scientific instruments often demand immediate diagnosis despite scarce incident data. To guide intervention, an explanation must trace how changes in the…
Scaling laws suggest that increasing model size, training data, and compute generally yields monotonic performance improvements. While this often holds at the aggregate level, we present systematic…
Cooperative language-model agents can improve without weight updates by revising reusable skills, but only if a shared team reward is traced to the responsible agent and skill. Existing methods…
Many modern language models have adopted hybrid architectures that incorporate both linear-time recurrence and softmax attention. Modern recurrence layers provide a highly expressive mixing mechanism…
Existing world models can generate action-conditioned video from a single image. Many focus on camera movement, allowing users to explore the generated scene.
Human egocentric experience offers a rich foundation for learning how the world is organized and how it changes through interaction. Realizing this potential at scale requires turning growing volumes…
Motivated by the notion of features from machine learning, we study the complexity of representing data that allows for evaluation with a given family of functions. Concretely, we consider a…
Deep latent variable models (DLVMs) underpin many modern analysis pipelines, for example in single-cell genomics, yet their prior distributions have received markedly little attention. The VampPrior…
We study the sample complexity of estimating Ornstein--Uhlenbeck diffusion scores in $\mathbb R^d$ using denoising score matching (DSM) with finite-width shallow ReLU networks, and its implications…
