Protein classifiers are highly sensitive to evaluation protocol: random train/test splits induce phylogenetic leakage, allowing models to exploit taxon-specific correlations and substantially…
Long-horizon node outages are harder than conventional missing-value imputation because complete sensor trajectories remain unobserved for extended periods, while the usefulness of spatial and…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into embodied robotic planning, yet standard benchmarks primarily evaluate end-to-end task completion in nominal environments, obscuring…
Reliable uncertainty estimation is important across visual recognition tasks, providing information about the confidence and reliability of model predictions. Many uncertainty estimation methods…
This paper presents a novel strategy for UAV detection through visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) fusion, in order to improve accuracy and precision in harsh environments and weather conditions. In this…
Backpropagation remains the dominant training paradigm, using backward gradients and local updates that can suffer from vanishing or exploding gradients in deep networks. Although the Forward-Forward…
Video anomaly detection (VAD) is a challenging task for surveillance systems due to the scarcity and diversity of anomalous events. While semi-supervised VAD approaches have advanced the field, many…
Iris recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs), including textured contact lenses, print replays, and synthetic irises. Existing PAD methods rely on supervised learning with…
In this article, we propose ContactFlowFilter, a novel approach for contact estimation that determines the number of active contacts, their locations, and the associated force vectors. We consider a…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential as general-purpose user simulators for interactive systems. Prior studies have demonstrated that training on high-quality data can…
Real-world physical sensing exhibits complex, heterogeneous noise patterns that deviate significantly from idealized simulation, posing a fundamental bottleneck for sim-to-real transfer. Existing…
Learning-based path planners based on diffusion and flow matching can generate diverse trajectories from demonstrations but typically lack mechanisms for constraint satisfaction and collision…
Robots exploring unknown indoor environments must decide where to move while much of the environment remains unseen. Predicting the occupancy of unseen space beyond the current sensor range can…
Lunar surface exploration increasingly relies on autonomous rovers that must perceive and traverse unstructured terrain under extreme illumination conditions. Near the lunar poles, low sun elevations…
Diffusion models have emerged as the foundation of modern generative systems, yet their high memorization capacity raises privacy concerns. While differentially private (DP) training provides formal…
In object goal navigation (ObjectNav), an embodied agent must find a target object (e.g., "find a bed") in a previously unseen environment, relying on spatial commonsense such as object…
Stochastic optimization with high-fidelity nonlinear models is often computationally prohibitive because each objective evaluation requires sampling-based uncertainty quantification inside an outer…
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…
Recent time series foundation models (TSFMs) can consume covariates in-context, extending zero-shot forecasting to problems driven by external factors. This enables scenario analysis: forecasting how…
We prove that for additive valuations, not every pure Nash equilibrium of the Round-Robin mechanism induces an allocation that is envy-free up to one good (EF1) with respect to the agents' true…
We introduce no-regret generation, which requires a generator to make a sublinear number of mistakes uniformly over all demonstration sequences and compatible target languages. We also formulate an…
Round Robin (RR) is a simple and widely used picking sequence mechanism for allocating indivisible goods, known to guarantee envy-freeness up to one item (EF1) when preferences are additive. Despite…
Robust covariance estimation under entry-wise contamination and missing data is challenging in various signal processing applications. Under the Student-$t$ model, observation-level reweighting…
Continual learning (CL) in neural networks is a promising learning approach for updating the knowledge of deployed systems based on new data encountered at run time, that have not been learned during…
