Medical diagnostic reasoning requires verifiable links between visual evidence and clinical knowledge, yet current medical vision language models are aligned with objectives that reward the wrong…
We study policy optimization for infinite-horizon, discounted constrained Markov decision processes. While primal-dual ($\texttt{PD}$) methods are widely used in practice, their theoretical…
Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to perform old-category recognition and novel-category discovery in the same unlabeled set. Early methods address both objectives through clustering and…
An effective agent memory system should adapt to a user's history and task requirements. Human-annotated supervision can guide this adaptation by providing feedback for evaluating and improving…
Graphical models are widely used to represent conditional independence structures, but learning them is challenging when data are fragmented across sources that measure different subsets of variables…
Humans routinely consume multimodal content, where textual and visual information is naturally interleaved. Although Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) can jointly generate text and images, multimodal…
We study experimental results of best response dynamics (BRD) in randomly generated weighted action networked multiagent optimization problems where agent utility is the agent's marginal contribution…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) rely critically on neighborhood aggregation, yet conventional mean aggregation may fail to capture class-relevant distributional information, particularly in heterophilic…
Despite recent progress in dexterous reference tracking, existing models focus primarily on single-hand manipulation and a limited range of interactions, leaving the bimanual dexterous behaviors…
Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) hedges data-driven two-stage stochastic programs against error in the distribution estimated from a finite record, and standard ambiguity sets differ in how…
We study equilibrium computation in multi-unit trading networks with valuations satisfying generalized full substitutes and agent- and transaction-specific piecewise-linear transfer functions. These…
In robotics, shape control (or shape servoing) refers to the automatic manipulation of a deformable object to achieve a desired shape. It involves a feedback loop that exploits the relation between…
The advent of large, high-density FPGAs such as the AMD Versal enables efficient hardware implementation of neuromorphic Ising machines, unlocking unprecedented performance for complex combinatorial…
Conventional wheel-equipped quadrotor UAVs must tilt their bodies to generate lateral forces, limiting their ability to maintain a desired attitude during lateral motion. This paper proposes a…
Controlling dynamical systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) remains a challenging task in scientific computing, owing to high-dimensional state spaces, distributed actuation,…
Automated mechanism design has enabled the learning of complex auction mechanisms using neural networks. However, designing non-truthful auctions remains challenging because bidders' equilibrium…
Decision-making under uncertainty remains a key issue in Machine Learning (ML), particularly in the deployment of safety-critical systems, where reliable quantification of system behavior is…
AdaGrad-style methods can simultaneously adapt to both the order and constants of smoothness in centralized optimization. However, existing extensions to federated optimization with heterogeneous…
Systems such as The AI Scientist have shown that AI agents can carry out and write up research, but in those demonstrations humans chose the research area and selected the outputs to show. We study…
A central topic in online and stochastic optimization is to design algorithms that do not require tuning of hyperparameters. Successful strategies in online learning include AdaGrad-style learning…
AI infrastructure, the chips and software that train and serve AI models, is designed in layers. Layers make the system manageable, but they also fix which choices an optimizer can consider.
Discounted regret measures the performance of an online learner by assigning exponentially decaying weights to past losses, reflecting the greater importance of recent losses in non-stationary online…
While frontier vision-language models demonstrate strong capabilities in user interface (UI) navigation, their high inference costs prohibit everyday use. Conversely, smaller models trained via…
We develop a fast method for the rigid alignment of voxelized three-dimensional density functions over $\mathsf{SO}(3)$ using sliced optimal transport. Our approach efficiently transforms each…
