Deep Learning Warm Starts for Trajectory Optimization on the International Space Station

Trajectory optimization is a cornerstone of modern robot autonomy, enabling systems to compute trajectories and controls in real-time while respecting safety and physical constraints. However, it has seen limited usage in spaceflight applications due to its heavy computational demands that exceed the capability of most...

Catastrophic Overfitting, Entropy Gap and Participation Ratio: A Noiseless $l^p$ Norm Solution for Fast Adversarial Training

Adversarial training is a cornerstone of robust deep learning, but fast methods like the Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) often suffer from Catastrophic Overfitting (CO), where models become robust to single-step attacks but fail against multi-step variants. While existing solutions rely on noise injection, regularizat...

On Orthogonal Recurrent Neural Networks Quantization

In recent years, Orthogonal Recurrent Neural Networks (ORNNs) have gained popularity due to their ability to manage tasks involving long-term dependencies, such as the Copy-task, and their linear complexity. However, existing ORNNs utilize full precision weights and activations, which prevents their deployment on compa...

EvoSkill v2: Fully Agentic Skill Evolution from Benchmark Adaptation to a Stateful Evolver

EvoSkill v2 is a three-agent system that edits the instructions (skills) an agent is given, leaving its model and harness intact. The user starts a run by describing a benchmark and supplying a grader, which a benchmark adaptor turns into a benchmark-specific plugin. A solver attempts the tasks, and an evolver reads th...

AlphaMemo: Structured Search-Process Memory for Self-Evolving Alpha Mining Agents

LLM agents are promising for alpha mining via combining financial priors, symbolic reasoning, executable factor generation, and feedback-driven refinement. Yet, they face a combinatorial search space, noisy non-stationary feedback, redundant discoveries, and overfitting risks from naively reusing past successes. To add...

DeFAb: A Dataset for Grounded Scientific Discovery through Defeasible Abduction

A theory can accommodate a counterexample by adding an exception. The harder problem is deciding how far the exception should extend and which predictions should survive. We present DeFAb, a dataset and symbolic verification framework built from curated biological knowledge in the Gene Ontology. Models fill gaps in a t...

Learning to Predict, Discover, and Reason in High-Cardinality Event Sequences

Electronic control units (ECUs) embedded within modern vehicles generate a large number of asynchronous events known as diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). These discrete events form complex temporal sequences that reflect the evolving health of the vehicle's subsystems. In the automotive industry, domain experts manually...

RobustRLlib: A Unified Library and Benchmark for Robust Reinforcement Learning Algorithms

Robust reinforcement learning (RL) is critical for reliable real-world deployment, where policies may fail under diverse shifts and disruptions. Existing robust RL algorithms offer a rich set of mechanisms and principles, yet two major barriers limit their broader potential: limited algorithm reusability and an unclear...

DexPort: A Hand-Held Skill Interface for Dexterous Hand Data Collection

Collecting high-quality demonstrations remains a central bottleneck for learning dexterous manipulation. Teleoperation records executable robot actions, but it requires a complete robot setup and places the burden of coordinating many finger joints on the operator. Human demonstrations are easier to collect, but their...

Interpretable sparse fine-tuning with TopKLoRA enables faithful circuit discovery

Fine-tuning on datasets of unknown origin can create a backdoor in the trained model when the data includes poisoned examples. Difficult to localise and remove, backdoors can persist through safety training. While parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods capture the full parameter changes introduced during training, the...
