Modern gradient boosting algorithms are based on Newton's method, which excels empirically but lacks global convergence guarantees. While recent work on Gradient-Regularized Newton (GRN) boosting…
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…
Many problems in computational statistics and machine learning can be formulated as approximating a target distribution by minimizing a discrepancy over a restricted class of candidate distributions.…
Blind random search is a simple global optimization method that only requires the value of the loss function, without needing gradient information or an explicit loss model. However, its classical…
Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are flexible surrogate models for computer experiments with nonstationary response surfaces, but inference over their latent representations remains computationally…
In micromanipulation, erroneous hand motion limits unaided manipulation accuracy, which can affect task performance and safety in critical applications like microsurgery. Handheld robots…
This work considers projection-free online learning algorithms with linear minimization oracles for handling the decision set. For Online Frank--Wolfe (OFW), regret upper bounds were already known…
Many real-world optimization tasks are governed not only by what should be optimized, but also by what is allowed: a solution must first satisfy physical, operational, safety, budgetary, or…
Medium altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial systems such as Shahed-type strike drones are an unanswered threat in modern conflicts. Conventional air defense systems are too expensive to provide a…
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…
Legged robots for lunar exploration must be designed for low gravity, where reduced contact forces and long flight phases make leg morphology and controller choice interdependent. We study this for a…
We present general upper and lower bounds on the optimal error exponent for the Active Simple Hypothesis Testing (ASHT) problem. ASHT has been extensively studied across diverse fields including…
Dimension-reduction methods such as PCA identify a subspace capturing most of the variation in the data, but not a distinguished basis within it. Selecting a basis in which the samples are sparsely…
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…
Policy enforcement for LLM agents has shifted from single-turn content moderation to compound, application-specific policies evaluated over multi-turn transcripts and tool-call trajectories.…
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…
Nepali-English code-switched conversational speech presents severe challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR), chiefly through script confusion (inappropriate mixing of Devanagari and Latin…
Content caching via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) becomes one of the solutions to maintain content delivery when terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable or disrupted. However, existing caching…
We study the computational complexity of clairvoyant strategy optimization against a known online learner in finite-horizon repeated games. In general-sum games with bounded payoffs, unless…
