Replicator dynamics, the central model of evolutionary game theory, describe populations evolving under selection and agents learning by trial and error. They also admit a third use: continuous-time…
As constellations of satellite grow in size, and become more costly, they are increasingly funded by multiple stakeholders who expect access to the constellation's resources that is commensurate with…
Frameworks that use large language models for scientific discovery typically rely on a fixed, human-designed algorithm that decides what the model sees at each step, leaving the model only the role…
We study equilibrium learning in discretized Bayesian games, focusing on first-price auctions as a testbed for gradient-based learning dynamics under private information. While the symmetric…
Many problems in computational statistics and machine learning can be formulated as approximating a target distribution by minimizing a discrepancy over a restricted class of candidate distributions.…
In micromanipulation, erroneous hand motion limits unaided manipulation accuracy, which can affect task performance and safety in critical applications like microsurgery. Handheld robots…
This work considers projection-free online learning algorithms with linear minimization oracles for handling the decision set. For Online Frank--Wolfe (OFW), regret upper bounds were already known…
Medium altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial systems such as Shahed-type strike drones are an unanswered threat in modern conflicts. Conventional air defense systems are too expensive to provide a…
We present general upper and lower bounds on the optimal error exponent for the Active Simple Hypothesis Testing (ASHT) problem. ASHT has been extensively studied across diverse fields including…
Dimension-reduction methods such as PCA identify a subspace capturing most of the variation in the data, but not a distinguished basis within it. Selecting a basis in which the samples are sparsely…
We study the computational complexity of clairvoyant strategy optimization against a known online learner in finite-horizon repeated games. In general-sum games with bounded payoffs, unless…
Semiparametric Bayesian networks (SPBNs) are flexible probabilistic graphical models for representing joint distributions of continuous variables through lower-dimensional conditional probability…
Dynamic creative optimization decides which creative of an ad to render for each request. Recent work places that choice before ad ranking, but relies on deterministic point predictors with no…
Dealing with climate change requires that all countries engage in costly efforts to reduce their emissions. Reaching this objective has so far been elusive because it is in the best interest of each…
Structured sparse learning is a leading paradigm for high-dimensional data modeling, as it enables rigorous integration of domain-validated structural priors into the learning process. Among these…
We develop a unified framework for assortment optimization and matching under multinomial logit (MNL) choice, yielding simple algorithms and analyses across a broad class of problems. The framework…
Besides domination-based algorithms such as the NSGA-II, the decomposition-based MOEA/D is one of the most popular and successful optimization heuristic for multi-objective problems. It decomposes…
The MOEA/D is one of the most successful multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. It operates by decomposing the optimization problem into single-objective subproblems, which are then solved in a…
Follow the regularized leader (FTRL) is a foundational algorithm in online learning whose regret properties have been extensively studied for decades. However, in stark contrast to mirror…
Blind random search is a simple global optimization method that only requires the value of the loss function, without needing gradient information or an explicit loss model. However, its classical…
The CODIACS Vanguard randomized trial compared a depression care intervention with usual care for patients with persistent depressive symptoms following acute coronary syndrome. We assess whether its…
Computer-model calibration is usually undertaken in service of prediction, yet neither Bayesian Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) calibration nor amortized simulation-based inference is built to control the…
This paper presents TRACE, a traversability-aware reactive navigation framework designed for the autonomous operation of ground robots in unstructured forest environments. Unlike traditional…
This paper presents an integrated control framework for high-speed platooning of articulated vehicles, combining advanced longitudinal and lateral control strategies to address the challenges of safe…
