This paper considers coordinating a heterogeneous team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) traversing a domain containing an unknown number of potentially hazardous…
Game AI results are comparable only when different implementations expose the same decision problem. Yet seemingly minor representation choices can silently change that problem by altering action…
We study episodic finite-horizon Bayesian bandits, or meta-bandits, with independent arms. Each episode draws fresh arm qualities from unknown recurring priors.
We study equilibrium learning in discretized Bayesian games, focusing on first-price auctions as a testbed for gradient-based learning dynamics under private information. While the symmetric…
Kernel methods face two recurrent bottlenecks: the cubic cost of inverting an $n\times n$ kernel matrix, as in kernel ridge regression, and the evaluation of kernel integrals, as required in kernel…
Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are flexible surrogate models for computer experiments with nonstationary response surfaces, but inference over their latent representations remains computationally…
Electric-field-based actuators and machines lead the design space at the nanoscale and in biological systems, while having the potential to be used in favorable macroscale applications which…
We describe the agent we submitted to the GLEE Competition, which plays bargaining, negotiation, and persuasion games against a shared pool of human and AI opponents. The agent is built around three…
The CODIACS Vanguard randomized trial compared a depression care intervention with usual care for patients with persistent depressive symptoms following acute coronary syndrome. We assess whether its…
Machine learning has permeated material optimization, providing high value. Nevertheless, its re- liance on a high number of samples limits its applicability to relatively explored material families.
Computer-model calibration is usually undertaken in service of prediction, yet neither Bayesian Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) calibration nor amortized simulation-based inference is built to control the…
Automated manufacturing requires data-driven decisions under uncertainty and sparse observational records, and unplanned downtime is a dominant cost of getting them wrong. Prescriptive maintenance…
Robust manipulation of soft objects, such as garments, is a critical skill for service and household robots to adopt, but remains challenging due to its high-dimensional state space, and…
Semiparametric Bayesian networks (SPBNs) are flexible probabilistic graphical models for representing joint distributions of continuous variables through lower-dimensional conditional probability…
Predicting surrounding vehicles' lane-change intentions enables autonomous vehicles to anticipate potential hazards and respond proactively rather than relying solely on reactive maneuvers. This…
A fundamental challenge in Bayesian network structure learning lies in efficiently approximating the posterior distribution of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). For large, high-dimensional datasets,…
Automated optical inspection of precision components with tiny surface defects remains challenging when different regions of the same component exhibit different defect characteristics and,…
We develop a Bayesian machine learning approach for estimating direct and spillover effects in cluster-randomized trials with treatment noncompliance. To flexibly model outcomes and treatment receipt…
Filtering has not yet had its foundation-model moment: state estimation is still dominated either by online Bayesian filtering algorithms that require known dy- namics as inputs, or by learning-based…
How many latent variables are needed to fit the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarisation power spectra when a neural network is given no cosmological model, and to what extent…
Large language model (LLM) agents for personal health read wearable data and recommend, but do not learn about the individual in a way that can be audited or falsified. We present EpiCoach, an…
Small-molecule identification from tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) may require complementary measurements. Herein, we propose a structure-informed deep Q-network (SI-DQN) that uses existing MS/MS…
