Deploying autonomous driving systems requires robustness against long-tail scenarios that are rare but safety-critical. While adversarial training offers a promising solution, existing methods typically decouple scenario generation from policy optimization and rely on heuristic surrogates. This leads to objective misal...

Trainable-frequency quantum models train the prefactors of their encoding gates so that the circuit's frequencies can move onto the target's. From the unit start of prior work, training rarely reaches a target more than one resolution step away. We show that the target-driven part of the prefactor gradient is a weighte...

Large language models are classically trained in stages: pretraining on raw text followed by post-training for instruction following and reasoning. However, this separation creates a fundamental limitation: many desirable behaviors such as safety, factuality, overall generation quality, and reasoning ability are only a...

Heterogeneous multi-robot collaboration over long horizons requires both global task planning and robust coordination during execution. Existing plan- ners using large language models (LLMs) can generate task decompositions or symbolic plans, but often execute them as rigid action sequences, making them fragile to loca...

Formal verification of deep neural networks (DNNs) faces a fundamental scalability challenge: verifying robustness is NP-hard and state-of-the-art tools often time out on modern architectures. We propose PAreto VErification, or PAVE: by augmenting DNNs with early exits (EEs) and verifying exit-by-exit, we solve a large...

Accurate coding of tumor diagnoses with ICD-10-GM and ICD-O-3 is essential for structured cancer documentation in Germany. Smaller open-weight LLMs are appealing for privacy-preserving automation but often struggle with coding accuracy in German-language contexts. This study investigates whether instruction-based fine-...

Socially interactive humanoids aim to interact with humans through their bodies, adapting in real time to a partner's movement, intent, and abilities. This requires models that understand both how bodies move and what their movements mean. Yet, existing evaluation frameworks for interactive motion generation do not ass...
Is Bangladesh replenishing the groundwater it depends on? Answering this question remains difficult in Bangladesh and worldwide because sparse in-situ measurements limit observational capabilities, while existing machine-learning approaches struggle to generalize across time and space. To address this bottleneck, we de...

We propose a robust Q-learning algorithm for Markov decision processes under model uncertainty when each state--action pair is associated with a finite ambiguity set of candidate transition kernels. This finite-measure framework enables user-designed uncertainty models, including competing fitted models and stress scen...
The phenomenon of implicit bias has attracted interest in recent years as a fundamental aspect of the remarkable generalizing ability of neural networks. In a nutshell, it entails that gradient descent dynamics in many neural nets, even without any explicit regularizer in the loss function, converges to the solution of...

Hospitals are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence for triage, imaging, scheduling etc., yet most deployments remain isolated point solutions locked inside departmental silos, resulting in duplicated effort, hidden risks, and unrealized enterprise value. Despite explosive growth of AI in healthcare market and accel...
Multi-zone HVAC control is a spatial decision problem in which indoor thermal evolution and control decisions depend not only on outdoor conditions and internal heat gains but also on zone layout, physical adjacency, and delayed thermal interactions across the building. Recent LLM-based HVAC controllers have shown that...
