Quickest detection problems (QDPs) arise in a wide range of applications. However, the complementarity structure of the associated variational inequalities poses substantial challenges for…
An input skip can reduce reconstruction error while leaving a model's distribution of new samples unchanged. For a Gaussian variational autoencoder (VAE) with constant input skip $0\leqα<1$, a model…
Objective: This study aims to determine whether a hip-exoskeleton policy trained in simulation, by co-adapting with a musculoskeletal human model under a metabolic-energy reward, reduces the…
Fact-checking explanations help Web users understand why a claim receives its verdict, yet the same explanation may not satisfy readers with different backgrounds and preferences. We formulate…
Accurate camera-LiDAR calibration is an essential prerequisite for robust multi-modal perception in robotics. Recent target-less methods based on learned pixel-point correspondences achieve high…
Proprietary language models and their reasoning traces are vulnerable to API-based distillation, where an adversary trains a student model on the teacher model's outputs. To obtain evidence of…
Safety alignment research for large language models (LLMs) remains concentrated on high-resource languages, leaving open how existing alignment methods perform in low-resource, culturally distinct…
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for enhancing the video reasoning capability of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). Despite its…
Variational inference with normalizing flows provides a flexible posterior approximation for Bayesian model calibration, but struggles when the posterior has several modes separated by regions of low…
Relay and reseller APIs have become a common way to access large language models (LLMs), yet users cannot directly verify whether they receive the models they request and pay for. This opacity…
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) typically relies on preference pairs generated from diverse model pools and ranked by an external LLM judge. The recently proposed delta-learning hypothesis…
Nonlinear structural system identification remains challenging when governing physics is only partially known and measurements are sparse. Deep Bayesian filtering addresses these challenges by…
Sparse event responses produce uneven keypoint errors whose effects on spacecraft pose depend on correspondence geometry and the reliability of successive observations. We present a reliability-aware…
Enabling a humanoid to interact naturally with human partners requires preserving not only individual motions but also the spatial, semantic, and contact relationships underlying the interaction…
A track fitting pipeline is presented that converts a measured racetrack point cloud into a closed, $C^4$ differentiable, three-dimensional surface model suitable for high-fidelity Modelica race-car…
Test-time scaling has emerged as a key inference strategy for reasoning models, where a model generates a large number of candidate solutions in the hope of finding at least one correct solution.…
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…
The rapid growth of the space economy, alongside increasing orbital congestion and debris, is driving demand for reliable on-orbit transportation of large and non-cooperative objects. Performing such…
Complex objects such as engineering designs and proteins are often difficult to optimise because their design spaces exhibit high-dimensional structure and objective evaluations are expensive.…
The Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA) is widely used for high-dimensional Bayesian inference. Classical analyses in Wasserstein-2 distance predict an asymptotic bias and a mixing time that grow…
The Bayesian learning rule (BLR) exploits the relation between Bayesian updating and the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) to derive efficient additive updates for exponential family variational…
We consider differentially private (DP) optimization in the federated setting, where a DP estimate of the feature covariance matrix serves as a Hessian approximation for generalized linear models.…
Neural network (NN)-based transistor models have proven to be a promising solution to accelerate device modeling. Although these models demonstrated remarkable speedup in circuit simulations, they…
We study task assignment under adverse selection and moral hazard. In the single-task setting, agents privately know their types, which determine their success probabilities and effort costs.
