Recent magnetometer-free inertial measurement unit (IMU) methods can reduce drift in joint motion estimation using rigid-body constraints, but they typically require pre-calibrated sensor locations,…
Decision support has become sophisticated at exploring uncertainty, but much less so at representing the architecture of the decision itself. As a result, the decision space is often narrowed before…
Neural network (NN)-based transistor models have proven to be a promising solution to accelerate device modeling. Although these models demonstrated remarkable speedup in circuit simulations, they…
Generative AI imposes new metacognitive demands on knowledge workers as their work shifts from production to planning, evaluation, and orchestration. In a randomized, between-subjects experiment on…
Reliable traversability estimation is essential for autonomous navigation on unstructured terrain. State-of-the-art approaches typically evaluate traversability from deterministic terrain elevation,…
World models have recently emerged as a promising direction toward developing generalist agents capable of understanding, predicting, and interacting with diverse environments. However, despite…
Cancer care is a longitudinal, time-sensitive process requiring coordination among diverse healthcare professionals (HCPs), whose collaboration evolves throughout treatment. Prior studies link care…
Modern Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) im- plementations now connect edge gateways, cloud dashboards and business applications. This improves visibility and remote monitoring.
Iterative combinatorial auctions are used in spectrum allocation, transportation, and industrial procurement, but rounds are costly. We introduce FastCombo, a deep reinforcement learning approach to…
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…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) encode information not only in whether neurons fire but also in when they fire, and this temporal dimension shapes what a trained network reveals about its training…
Accelerated dynamics methods, such as parallel replica dynamics, require estimates of the decorrelation time, after which a process trapped in one of its metastable states is distributed according to…
Source selection often favors similar data, yet marginal proximity need not identify the most useful pretraining source. We motivate a conditional alternative through domain-adaptation theory and a…
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…
Per-point data-valuation scores -- Data Shapley, influence, leverage -- are routinely used to select training data: keep the points with the top $k$ scores. We argue that top-$k$ by a fixed,…
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…
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…
We study gradient flow in a two-layer linear network in the high-dimensional regime where the input, inner and output dimensions diverge proportionally. Under whitened inputs and isotropic imbalance,…
Digital image transmission typically optimizes source coding, channel coding, and modulation separately, limiting how source representations adapt to channel impairments. We propose SemQAM, a joint…
Process reward models (PRMs) provide fine-grained supervision for multi-step reasoning, yet obtaining reliable process labels remains a central bottleneck. Existing approaches typically rely on human…
Radar heart sounds capture cardiac mechanical activity without contact, while echocardiography characterizes ventricular and valvular function. Paired measurements connect these signals to structural…
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…
