Decision models are language models built to route, classify and triage: they return option probabilities from one forward pass, and an application acts on the top answer. They are offered off the…
Localization is an essential capability of intelligent robots. However, in real-world constrained environments, robots often cannot rely on external localization systems.
Hardware-accelerated spiking neural networks (SNNs) implemented on memristive crossbar arrays offer significant gains in energy efficiency, while device variability and analog noise are sometimes…
Feature detection and matching are fundamental components in computer vision, underpinning a broad spectrum of applications. This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of traditional feature…
Several corrections of an executable model can fit the same observations while predicting different execution outcomes. We study a repair-to-execution interface that retains compatible finite guard…
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…
Classical theory predicts that irrational traders lose money to rational traders and are eventually driven out of the market. Yet noise trading, herding, and heuristic trading persist even in highly…
Semantic entropy, the entropy of the meanings among a language model's sampled answers, is estimated from the verdicts of a judge that declares pairs of answers equivalent or not, and automatic…
Relational pattern languages generalize Angluin's pattern languages by requiring the strings substituted for repeated occurrences of a variable to stand in a given relation, rather than to be…
In sampled cascade linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) of quadrotors, the extended-state observer typically receives the instantaneous command, although the delayed measurement…
As a representative form of embodied robotic interaction, aerial grasping requires close coordination between the aerial platform and manipulator. Most existing systems perform aerial grasping with…
We present EasyProver, a Lean proving system built from recursive agents with isolated contexts, asynchronous search, parallel tactic probing, and an elastic elaboration service. Using an…
The vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action model (WAM) communities debate whether control policies should inherit pretrained knowledge from vision-language models or from visual generators.…
Complex camera motion is central to visual storytelling, yet translating cinematographic intent into controllable, executable camera trajectories remains challenging. We introduce FilmFlow, an…
In variable-step operator learning, agreement at observed step sizes does not by itself determine predictions at other temporal resolutions. We propose an operator whose step-size dependence is…
What computational role does overparameterisation play during learning? Information-plane analyses suggest that neural networks can traverse representations substantially more complex than those…
Developing analog and hybrid systems requires substantial domain knowledge that is hard to articulate in a formal specification; without additional effort, this domain knowledge is also inaccessible…
We study episodic finite-horizon Bayesian bandits, or meta-bandits, with independent arms. Each episode draws fresh arm qualities from unknown recurring priors.
Particle Gibbs samplers with backward sampling are widely used for sampling the smoothing distribution of state-space models, but, with few particles, the new trajectory often coincides with the…
This paper reports a methodological pivot from the Open Khipu Repository to the Khipu Field Guide (KFG) database, prompted by stalled progress on the OKR, and a full re-analysis of the resulting…
Smart wheelchairs are robotic devices that gather information from the surroundings and allow people to safely drive through various environments. They usually rely on the interpretation of…
