Faithfully understanding the internal process that occurs as models form their chain of thought is an important problem with the rise in model capabilities. However, this remains challenging due to…
Motion planning is central to robotics, and it is increasingly used to correct the motions proposed by learned planners and policies. In both uses, constraints must hold at every instant of the…
Traversability estimation is critical for ground vehicle teleoperation, yet existing methods often neglect the human operator's preferences for speed and risk tolerance. To address this gap, we…
AI agents increasingly act as analysts whose decision can often be cast as hypothesis tests. Classical tests control the Type I error rate, the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis, for…
Reproducing a published 3DGS paper takes weeks of expert engineering before any extension can be proposed. Prior autonomous-research systems read papers, draft hypotheses, and write code, but are…
Recently, electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) have gained traction as portable neural measurement systems. However, the practical deployment of these instruments is…
Bergemann, Brooks, and Morris (2015) characterize the consumer and producer surplus pairs that segmentation can produce when the distribution of values is known. I fix only the set of possible values…
We study the Bayesian fixed-confidence best-arm identification problem in which a learner can abstain from making a terminal recommendation. Subject to a target error probability $δ$ and an…
Neural receivers for 5G New Radio (NR) match classical model-based receivers in link-level performance, but their robustness to adversarial perturbations at the receiver input remains underexplored.…
We study $(\varepsilon,δ)$-differentially private synthetic data for arbitrary databases of $n$ records in $[-1,1]^d$ under a specified integral probability metric (IPM). We introduce generalized…
We analyze the problem of estimating univariate Gaussian mixture densities using the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) based on $n$ independent and identically distributed samples.…
Despite recent advances, current AI systems remain highly susceptible to domain shifts, particularly in biomedical imaging, where images are usually acquired under substantially different…
This report describes a laboratory instantiation of a dynamic microsegmentation function for an Internet-of-Things network, specifically a multi-robot network, using a commercial software-defined…
The Gaussian Mumford-Shah model segments an image into regions by minimizing a continuous multivariate Gaussian negative log-likelihood term plus a perimeter penalty. It is used for scalar- and…
Models are updated repeatedly, and an update that looks better on validation data but not on new data is a false improvement that can misguide clinical decisions. The naive rule accepts every…
Industries employ robots for repetitive tasks due to their high precision and performance, typically achieved through feedforward control actions based on an accurate robot description. However, an…
Image registration underpins measurement across scanning, camera, and microscopy imaging, yet a fundamental question is rarely posed: when is the sample-to-position map recoverable at all, and when…
Large audio-language models (LALMs) understand music, yet struggle to locate a described moment in time. We ask whether this reflects missing temporal information or a bottleneck in how the time span…
We consider the problem of allocating indivisible goods to agents with additive valuations, under two classic notions of fairness and efficiency: envy-freeness up to any good (EFX) and Pareto…
We study a jump-modified Wasserstein gradient flow of the squared maximum mean discrepancy generated by the energy kernels $K(z)=-|z|^q$, $0<q<2$, in every dimension $d\ge2$ as well as the…
We present HyperDrone, an extremely fast quadrotor simulator focused on high-performance batch rendering that is more than 20x faster than existing state-of-the-art batch quadrotor simulators.…
Diffusion models can sometimes reproduce examples from their training data, a phenomenon known as memorization. Existing memorization detection methods for unconditional diffusion models typically…
Functional data are costly to collect; samples of tens to hundreds of curves are common. Synthetic data augmentation can help, but its theory is developed for finite-dimensional data and relies on…
