Semantic segmentation of remote sensing imagery often places class boundaries a few pixels away from where they truly lie, and this position error is concentrated in the thin band measured by…
Mobile manipulators must navigate safely in cluttered, partially unknown environments across logistics, manufacturing, and service applications. Semi-static changes between robot visits can lead to…
Models are updated repeatedly, and an update that looks better on validation data but not on new data is a false improvement that can misguide clinical decisions. The naive rule accepts every…
Industries employ robots for repetitive tasks due to their high precision and performance, typically achieved through feedforward control actions based on an accurate robot description. However, an…
Image registration underpins measurement across scanning, camera, and microscopy imaging, yet a fundamental question is rarely posed: when is the sample-to-position map recoverable at all, and when…
Large audio-language models (LALMs) understand music, yet struggle to locate a described moment in time. We ask whether this reflects missing temporal information or a bottleneck in how the time span…
We consider the problem of allocating indivisible goods to agents with additive valuations, under two classic notions of fairness and efficiency: envy-freeness up to any good (EFX) and Pareto…
We study a jump-modified Wasserstein gradient flow of the squared maximum mean discrepancy generated by the energy kernels $K(z)=-|z|^q$, $0<q<2$, in every dimension $d\ge2$ as well as the…
We study Fréchet means in orbit spaces of finite orthogonal group actions. Since computing these means is NP-hard in general, we take inspiration from group synchronization to develop tractable…
Diffusion models can sometimes reproduce examples from their training data, a phenomenon known as memorization. Existing memorization detection methods for unconditional diffusion models typically…
Foundation models provide powerful representations for unstructured data, such as text and images, and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) makes their adaptation to downstream tasks increasingly…
Functional data are costly to collect; samples of tens to hundreds of curves are common. Synthetic data augmentation can help, but its theory is developed for finite-dimensional data and relies on…
We propose a joint sparse sample weighting and parameter estimation (SWAPE) framework that jointly optimizes model parameters and sample weights to train a model while simultaneously assigning an…
Many problems in signal processing, machine learning, and neuroimaging provide several jointly observed measurements of one process, each mixing a component common to all of them with a component…
We consider cooperative and iterative tasks involving multiple agents whose interactions are modeled as a dynamic game with shared constraints. We propose a general learning framework applicable to…
Trajectory demonstrations show robots how to behave but not why, leaving them to guess which features of the task actually matter. Incorrect guesses produce misaligned internal representations and…
We show that every class of distributions that is learnable up to arbitrarily small target error in total variation distance with finitely many samples is also learnable under ($\varepsilon,…
This paper presents a novel framework integrating a robust wrench observer with a hybrid pose and force controller for physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). In pHRI tasks, robots are expected to…
First-person humanoid teleoperation ties access to side and rear targets to operator rotation. We present coupled visual--motor remapping, pairing a panoramic azimuth warp with its inverse upper-limb…
Most high-performing end-to-end autonomous driving agents (ADAs) are developed for the CARLA Leaderboard, tightly coupling them to CARLA's APIs, sensor layouts, coordinate systems, and internal…
Humanoid-human interaction requires robots to operate under severe partial observability: during close physical contact, the human partner is occluded, truncated, or outside the robot's field of…
Trajectory tracking for compliant robots is challenging due to nonlinear dynamics and modeling uncertainties, often requiring learning-based methods to avoid explicit parameter identification.…
Robot swarms coordinate through directed, time-varying local communication links, some of which may be compromised to allow the transmission of arbitrary malicious data. We provide an algorithm that…
