Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has proved to be a strong alternative to manual network design, but applying it to 3D medical image segmentation is limited by two well-known costs, large annotation…
A reliable assessment of an optimizer robustness requires tracking controlled changes in parameters to identify sources of algorithmic weakness. Such an approach was applied to the problem of…
A novel discovery is one which is both useful and surprising: a generative model's output is a useful discovery if it has a low probability of being generated (it's surprising) and a high reward…
Fast and accurate qubit-state assignment is essential for feedback, calibration, and error correction in quantum processors. In superconducting platforms, frequency-multiplexed readout makes this…
Artificial intelligence increasingly serves as a natural-language interface to complex technical systems, letting people accomplish sophisticated tasks by describing what they want rather than…
The Three-Dimensional Trailer Loading Problem (3D-TLP) involves determining the optimal placement and orientation of heterogeneous items within the confined space of a trailer while maximizing volume…
Connectome models of the fly nerve cord generate walking-like motor rhythms, but oscillation alone does not show that the specific wiring matters. Here we provide, to our knowledge, the first test of…
Stochastic cell updates are often used throughout the life of a neural cellular automaton (NCA), from backpropagation through time to final rollout. This leaves two questions entangled: does update…
Self-evolving vision-language models train on questions they generate from unlabeled images. Since these questions have no gold answers, prior methods label them by majority vote over sampled answers…
Most ANN-to-SNN conversion methods rely on a specific correspondence between the source activation and the spiking neuron dynamics. We propose a finite-state continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC)…
Physical reservoir computing uses nonlinear dynamics and a trained linear readout to process information. Nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) resonators combine geometric Duffing nonlinearity with fading…
Many real-world optimization problems involve noisy objective evaluations and probabilistic constraints, particularly in the form of joint chance constraints, which are computationally expensive to…
