Lane-changing (LC) maneuvers are highly challenging vehicle interactions, with substantial implications for traffic safety and efficiency. Developing effective LC strategies for connected and…
Vision-and-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments (VLN-CE) requires instruction-consistent planning and reliable execution under collision constraints. Yet many hierarchical approaches…
Multimodal perception forms the foundation of multimodal intelligence. In particular, spatial perception and multimodal long-context understanding are two pivotal tasks that underpin embodied AI and…
Agentic image editors decompose complex requests into steps, but when a step fails, they mostly retry with the same narrow set of tools and a judge that scores each output by eye directly. We argue…
Producing long-form videos from narration requires interdependent decisions that remain coherent across shots. Existing agentic editors often use multi-stage workflows driven by general models,…
We study experimental results of best response dynamics (BRD) in randomly generated weighted action networked multiagent optimization problems where agent utility is the agent's marginal contribution…
International climate policy requires coordination among countries whose mitigation decisions impose local costs but generate global benefits. Classical game-theoretic and integrated assessment…
Narrative-driven recommendation allows users to express multifaceted needs through free-form text where stated preferences naturally qualify and condition one another. Existing methods typically…
Autonomous vehicles in enclosed spaces such as tunnels and mines rely on range maps that smoke, dust and fog make inaccurate. Conformal prediction calibrates a keepout around the mapped walls that…
Humanoids and other legged robots operating in complex environments must remember information that leaves their field of view and only becomes relevant much later. Reinforcement learning policies…
Active simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) addresses the problem of planning robot motion to build complete and accurate maps of unknown environments through efficient exploration while…
Real-to-Sim-to-Real (Real2Sim2Real) enables structured world representations for planning, interpretability, and safe execution. Most existing approaches rely on passive perception, which creates…
Autonomous research agents are increasingly used to automate large portions of scientific research, yet they are prone to research integrity violations (RIVs): behaviors that compromise the validity,…
While frontier vision-language models demonstrate strong capabilities in user interface (UI) navigation, their high inference costs prohibit everyday use. Conversely, smaller models trained via…
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…
Problem definition: Subscription box services often ask customers for ratings before choosing what to send. Responses are scarce, and longer questionnaires and finer scales lower completion.
Black-box optimization (BBO) arises in many scientific and engineering problems where objective evaluations are expensive and limited. Recent large language model (LLM) agents offer a new way to…
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…
Extreme weather is forecast days ahead, yet its consequences for agriculture remain hard to predict: a forecast says where a storm will strike, not which crops will suffer or how much is at risk, and…
We study equilibrium computation in multi-unit trading networks with valuations satisfying generalized full substitutes and agent- and transaction-specific piecewise-linear transfer functions. These…
Controlling dynamical systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) remains a challenging task in scientific computing, owing to high-dimensional state spaces, distributed actuation,…
This paper studies UAV path planning in areas where GPS signals are not present. Because these drones can easily get lost when they don't have GPS, they must rely on dead reckoning and occasionally…
Autonomous highway driving for heavy-duty trucks is a challenging control problem. The greater mass, dimensions and intricate dynamics increase the requirements for cooperation from surrounding…
