Anaerobic digestion (AD) requires close monitoring of key process variables, including pH, the ratio of volatile organic acids to alkaline buffer capacity and biogas production, to maintain…
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…
Synthetic data is an important data source in the AI era. This paper studies the generation of mixed-type tabular synthetic data in federated settings, where two key challenges arise: ensuring…
World Action Models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising approach to learning generalist robot policies using rich spatiotemporal priors from pre-trained video diffusion models. A recent line of WAMs…
As LLMs expand their language coverage, evaluating how well they understand and represent diverse cultures becomes increasingly important. However, many benchmarks remain English-centric, with…
We study episodic finite-horizon Bayesian bandits, or meta-bandits, with independent arms. Each episode draws fresh arm qualities from unknown recurring priors.
Principal-agent hypothesis testing studies statistical contracts in which a principal rewards an agent according to data the agent generates. Existing work focuses on the single-shot setting, where…
Synthetic data are a promising way to maintain privacy while disseminating research data, thereby enabling compliance with the open science principles. Popular methods for generating synthetic data…
Allowing for small fraction of errors in retrieved stored binary patterns, Hopfield-Hebbian neural network (NN) associative memory dynamics [14] achieves linearly scaled capacity. The famous…
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…
Model distillation has become a major concern in the rapidly growing generative AI discourse. In its simplest form, distillation is the phenomenon where smaller firms can use data distilled from…
Long-term environmental IoT/LPWAN deployments often aggregate heterogeneous data streams from diverse devices without systematic auditing of each variable's actual coverage prior to analysis-an…
This paper addresses the problem of creating immersive volumetric videos from sparse and low-resolution capture resources. Conventional dense multi-view reconstruction methods can produce…
Airborne magnetic anomaly navigation provides a passive, unjammable alternative to Global Navigation Satellite Systems positioning by matching magnetometer measurements against a lithospheric…
Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are flexible surrogate models for computer experiments with nonstationary response surfaces, but inference over their latent representations remains computationally…
Utterance-level similarity ratings do not reveal where perceived accent differences occur in generated speech. We introduce a segmental evaluation protocol combining speaker and accent similarity…
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…
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…
Robot policy evaluation often relies on a binary success signal for task completion. In real-world deployment, however, desired execution behaviors are also defined by quality attributes such as…
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…
Agentic reinforcement learning rewards a complete episode, yet the policy needs credit for every decision inside it. Counterfactual branching estimates this credit by re-running the episode after an…
AI coding agents can now build small playable games in minutes, but the results usually look like programmer art: gray blockouts, colored geometric primitives, and flat semantic blobs. We present…
Projected quantum kernels (PQKs) have emerged as a notable approach to circumvent the hardness of machine learning tasks arising from the exponential dimensionality of the quantum Hilbert space.…
