We study optimal intervention design problems aimed at minimizing the aggregate volatility in network systems. We consider linear network equilibrium models arising in network games, production…
Estimating the conditional distribution of multivariate responses with continuous and binary components requires capturing their dependence, respecting their different supports, and accommodating…
We study preemptive single-machine scheduling with predictions, where a prediction of the order of the jobs (or of their sizes) is available, and the objective is to minimize the total completion…
On the simplest non-Euclidean manifold, the 1D flat torus, we exhibit a distribution where a recently proposed extension of Riemannian flow matching is globally optimized by a velocity field that…
Designing optimal auctions for allocating public infrastructure-such as airport slots and energy resources-is challenging due to interdependent resources and complex side-constraints. While the…
Understanding and controlling how systems evolve is central to science and engineering, where many problems require reasoning about complete trajectories. Existing approaches typically learn local…
We build structure-preserving reduced-order models for both challenge problems of the AePW-4 High-Speed Working Group. They are a clamped thin panel at Mach 1.92 (RC-19) and a cantilever plate at…
Multibeam imaging sonar produces intensity images degraded by coherent speckle and system-induced blur, while clean reflectivity targets are rarely available. Existing despeckling methods often rely…
Robot world models simulate how environments evolve in response to robot actions. Latent action models enable learning dynamics from videos by encoding visual transitions as proxy actions.
Estimating propeller rates from a moving event camera requires separating blade rotation from the changing image geometry. Background activity mixes with blade events, while repeated blade…
Many clinical decisions are a choice among a few fixed options, taken quickly and in large numbers. Such decisions also need an uncertainty estimate to know when to defer to a clinician.
In this paper, we present a novel one-shot federated clustering approach based on evolving fuzzy clustering and shuffler-based anonymization. In federated clustering, each round reveals additional…
Frontend coding agents are usually graded on one question: did the requested target get built. Real engineering changes carry a second obligation, because the rest of the site has to keep working.
Web agents increasingly serve the same user across repeated online tasks such as booking travel, shopping, and scheduling, so their long-term usefulness depends on how well they know the user's…
This paper presents a demonstration-based robotic feeding framework that integrates human demonstration, Dynamic Movement Primitive-based motion planning, vision-based scene perception, and robot…
Progressive image compression reconstructs images from prefixes of a single bitstream and therefore involves sequential latent inference under partial observations. Existing trit-plane codecs mainly…
The Perception-Adjusted Luce Model (PALM) introduced by by Echenique et al. (2018) is a sequential choice model that can accommodate violations of regularity and choice overload, behaviors not…
Scientific discovery often requires identifying a small number of high-performing designs in vast, constrained search spaces. This is difficult when evaluations are costly, feasible solutions are…
Bayesian networks for continuous variables often rely on restrictive assumptions: linear Gaussian models lack flexibility to capture nonlinear dependencies, while non-parametric approaches provide…
AI-assisted editing can produce loan documents that preserve familiar issuer layouts while changing the applicant's identity. We investigated whether experienced underwriters and loan processors…
Can a small change in wording move an AI model from refusing a sensitive request to acting on it? We test 15 models on the same request to increase the income shown on a pay stub.
Open-world geographic artificial intelligence (GeoAI) agents can transform public geospatial data into accessible decision support for real-world challenges, but must balance autonomous reasoning…
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow instructions and navigate to target locations. However, current VLN agents often suffer severe performance degradation in unseen…
