Humanoid parkour requires robots to reason about future footholds and whole-body motions over highly discontinuous terrain. We revisit the information asymmetry in asymmetric actor-critic learning…
Recent magnetometer-free inertial measurement unit (IMU) methods can reduce drift in joint motion estimation using rigid-body constraints, but they typically require pre-calibrated sensor locations,…
Mobile manipulators must navigate safely in cluttered, partially unknown environments across logistics, manufacturing, and service applications. Semi-static changes between robot visits can lead to…
Recent advances in Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) increasingly rely on axial attention mechanisms, but despite their empirical success, the theoretical properties of axial attention remain…
Objective: Variable selection for clinical prediction models is commonly done on statistical grounds related to model fit. Statistical approaches ignore the cost of misclassifications and the harm of…
During the deep learning era, innovations in remote sensing (RS) vision models primarily focused on optimizing network architectures for specific tasks and conducting end-to-end training. However,…
Wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems for construction worker human activity recognition (HAR) routinely report aggregate accuracies above 95 %, rarely under genuine subject-independent…
Automated manufacturing requires data-driven decisions under uncertainty and sparse observational records, and unplanned downtime is a dominant cost of getting them wrong. Prescriptive maintenance…
Natural-language interfaces allow users to command robotic systems without interacting directly with mission planners or robotics middleware. Their reliable use depends on robot tool routing, defined…
Recent advances in video generation have made synthetic videos increasingly realistic, placing greater demands on reliable AI-generated video detection. Existing artifact-based detectors typically…
Many robotic construction applications, such as progress tracking, require registering a sensor trajectory to a prior 2D floor plan. Visual capture is attractive for its low cost and availability,…
High linear decodability does not entail causal controllability in continuous-latent text-to-speech (TTS). In VoxCPM2, position-matched probes and equal-norm interventions across 30 speakers and 60…
Gaussian process upper confidence bound (GP-UCB) has been widely studied, though its known regret upper bound is suboptimal. To obtain near-optimal regret upper bounds, existing studies mainly focus…
Smart-city applications often combine scarce labeled data with abundant unlabeled observations. Semi-supervised learning (SSL) exploits both labeled and unlabeled data to improve classification under…
Large audio language models (LALMs) can process speech directly, but it remains unclear how well they use the non-lexical acoustic information that speech carries. We study this question through…
Few-shot action recognition (FSAR) requires representations that expose discriminative motion dynamics from only a few labeled videos. Recent trajectory-based methods leverage long-term point tracks…
Drone-based 3D reconstruction and inspection require viewpoints that satisfy image-quality constraints while observing each surface region multiple times, which overlap-based planning heuristics do…
We study squared-error estimation when a nuisance parameter is unidentified on a submodel but affects a target that vanishes there. For models with higher-order profile expansions, we give sufficient…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress on visual reasoning, yet many tasks require evidence that is difficult to obtain through internal reasoning alone: our controlled…
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a fundamental shift in drug discovery, moving beyond traditional target inhibition toward the event-driven removal of disease-causing proteins. A…
