This paper presents a demonstration-based robotic feeding framework that integrates human demonstration, Dynamic Movement Primitive-based motion planning, vision-based scene perception, and robot…
Explainable AI (XAI) methods are usually evaluated for technical properties such as faithfulness and robustness. In high-stakes application domains, experts also need to check model predictions…
The Perception-Adjusted Luce Model (PALM) introduced by by Echenique et al. (2018) is a sequential choice model that can accommodate violations of regularity and choice overload, behaviors not…
Scientific discovery often requires identifying a small number of high-performing designs in vast, constrained search spaces. This is difficult when evaluations are costly, feasible solutions are…
Reliable traversability estimation is essential for autonomous navigation on unstructured terrain. State-of-the-art approaches typically evaluate traversability from deterministic terrain elevation,…
Bayesian networks for continuous variables often rely on restrictive assumptions: linear Gaussian models lack flexibility to capture nonlinear dependencies, while non-parametric approaches provide…
AI-assisted editing can produce loan documents that preserve familiar issuer layouts while changing the applicant's identity. We investigated whether experienced underwriters and loan processors…
Can a small change in wording move an AI model from refusing a sensitive request to acting on it? We test 15 models on the same request to increase the income shown on a pay stub.
Modern Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) im- plementations now connect edge gateways, cloud dashboards and business applications. This improves visibility and remote monitoring.
Open-world geographic artificial intelligence (GeoAI) agents can transform public geospatial data into accessible decision support for real-world challenges, but must balance autonomous reasoning…
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow instructions and navigate to target locations. However, current VLN agents often suffer severe performance degradation in unseen…
Faithfully understanding the internal process that occurs as models form their chain of thought is an important problem with the rise in model capabilities. However, this remains challenging due to…
Motion planning is central to robotics, and it is increasingly used to correct the motions proposed by learned planners and policies. In both uses, constraints must hold at every instant of the…
AI agents increasingly act as analysts whose decision can often be cast as hypothesis tests. Classical tests control the Type I error rate, the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis, for…
Bayesian variants of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) provide principled uncertainty estimation when fine-tuning large foundation models, but require specifying the prior over the low-rank weight updates.…
Clean-image prediction ($x$-prediction) and noise prediction yield equivalent population-optimal denoisers, yet can perform very differently in finite diffusion networks. For noisy input $Y_t$ with…
Recent work in additive manufacturing and neural inverse design enables the creation of complex three-dimensional structures to manipulate physical fields, yet these designs must also adhere to…
Modern vision-based agents have shifted toward skill-based problem-solving, where a skill is an executable image-to-image operation, e.g., cropping, thresholding, or edge detection. As these skill…
We study the Bayesian fixed-confidence best-arm identification problem in which a learner can abstain from making a terminal recommendation. Subject to a target error probability $δ$ and an…
Neural receivers for 5G New Radio (NR) match classical model-based receivers in link-level performance, but their robustness to adversarial perturbations at the receiver input remains underexplored.…
We study $(\varepsilon,δ)$-differentially private synthetic data for arbitrary databases of $n$ records in $[-1,1]^d$ under a specified integral probability metric (IPM). We introduce generalized…
We analyze the problem of estimating univariate Gaussian mixture densities using the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) based on $n$ independent and identically distributed samples.…
This report describes a laboratory instantiation of a dynamic microsegmentation function for an Internet-of-Things network, specifically a multi-robot network, using a commercial software-defined…
