Medical diagnostic reasoning requires verifiable links between visual evidence and clinical knowledge, yet current medical vision language models are aligned with objectives that reward the wrong…
Artificial intelligence for science (AI4S) is extending from interpretation of existing data to the design and execution of experiments. Space offers distinctive scientific opportunities while…
We introduce machine learning models that accurately predict the electron density, the central variable of density functional theory. They are built on Transformer-inspired architectures, which…
We study policy optimization for infinite-horizon, discounted constrained Markov decision processes. While primal-dual ($\texttt{PD}$) methods are widely used in practice, their theoretical…
Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to perform old-category recognition and novel-category discovery in the same unlabeled set. Early methods address both objectives through clustering and…
An effective agent memory system should adapt to a user's history and task requirements. Human-annotated supervision can guide this adaptation by providing feedback for evaluating and improving…
Despite recent progress in dexterous reference tracking, existing models focus primarily on single-hand manipulation and a limited range of interactions, leaving the bimanual dexterous behaviors…
Lane-changing (LC) maneuvers are highly challenging vehicle interactions, with substantial implications for traffic safety and efficiency. Developing effective LC strategies for connected and…
Graphical models are widely used to represent conditional independence structures, but learning them is challenging when data are fragmented across sources that measure different subsets of variables…
Humans routinely consume multimodal content, where textual and visual information is naturally interleaved. Although Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) can jointly generate text and images, multimodal…
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…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) rely critically on neighborhood aggregation, yet conventional mean aggregation may fail to capture class-relevant distributional information, particularly in heterophilic…
Spacecraft-mounted robotic manipulators can support long-term operability of orbiting assets by conducting tasks such as on-orbit assembly, repair, upgrade, and refueling. In this context, the…
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…
Many decision-making tasks are inherently multi-objective. Interactive evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms (iEMOAs) are particularly well-suited to help the decision-maker find their…
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…
As constellations of satellite grow in size, and become more costly, they are increasingly funded by multiple stakeholders who expect access to the constellation's resources that is commensurate with…
Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) hedges data-driven two-stage stochastic programs against error in the distribution estimated from a finite record, and standard ambiguity sets differ in how…
The advent of large, high-density FPGAs such as the AMD Versal enables efficient hardware implementation of neuromorphic Ising machines, unlocking unprecedented performance for complex combinatorial…
Conventional wheel-equipped quadrotor UAVs must tilt their bodies to generate lateral forces, limiting their ability to maintain a desired attitude during lateral motion. This paper proposes a…
Controlling dynamical systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) remains a challenging task in scientific computing, owing to high-dimensional state spaces, distributed actuation,…
