CRONOS: Benchmarking Non-Episodic Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Manipulation

It is shown that naively fine-tuning pre-trained policies fails in non-episodic settings due to shifts in object configurations and end-effector poses; however, these challenges can be mitigated through targeted reset allocation and by addressing biases in pre-trained models.

Data informed Ansatz Selection for Variational Quantum Circuits

Choosing a variational quantum circuit (VQC) usually means searching over ansatze and depths, and training each candidate. We give three rules that fix these choices from the data and the gate set alone, before any training. First, a circuit without entangling gates has a rank-one Fourier coefficient tensor on every su...

Ablating Design Choices for Protein Ensemble Generators Across Structural Regimes

Generative models of protein conformational ensembles inherit much of their design from structure prediction for folded proteins. Ordered and disordered proteins, however, occupy distinct structural regimes, and we investigate how design choices hold up across them. Using a minimal C$\alpha$ flow-matching model, we abl...

Comparing model representations and fitting methods for port-Hamiltonian system identification

Port-Hamiltonian models describe physical systems by separating stored energy, dissipation and external inputs. Learning such models from data requires a choice of representation and fitting method. We compare using neural networks, analytic expressions and combinations of the two for representing the different compone...

Can saliency maps flag chest radiograph classifier errors at a new hospital? An external validation study

Saliency maps are offered as a safeguard for medical image classifiers, but whether they reveal individual errors at a new hospital remains largely untested. We trained a convolutional network and a vision transformer on NIH ChestX-ray14 and evaluated 303,768 decisions per model at the training hospital and at two exte...

MiCaDe: Online LiDAR-Camera Miscalibration Change Detection for Autonomous Driving

Reliable multi-sensor perception in autonomous vehicles requires accurate calibration between cameras and LiDAR. However, calibration drift is often unavoidable in long-term deployments: vibrations, thermal effects, and minor mechanical shocks may alter the relative pose between sensors, leading to systematic errors in...

Accelerating Offloading-Based MoE Inference by Interleaving Concurrent Requests

Expert offloading enables large mixture-of-experts (MoE) language models to run locally, but conventional batching stalls the GPU while missing experts are fetched. A popular remedy, known as prefetching, is to predict what experts will be needed soon and fetch them using idle link bandwidth. Imprecise prediction, howe...

LIPS-PC: Learning Illumination Patterns for Single-Pixel Classification

In single-pixel (ghost) imaging, known illumination patterns probe an object and a detector with no spatial resolution returns one number per pattern. Each measurement costs acquisition time and photons and, for ionizing probes, contributes to delivered dose. Motivated by automated radiographic defect screening, where...

Hybrid acoustic and pretrained embedding feature fusion for unmanned aerial vehicle detection using stacking ensemble learning under a leakage-aware evaluation protocol

Small multirotor drones produce a characteristic acoustic signature, and microphones offer a low-cost way to detect them. High accuracies have been reported on public drone audio benchmarks, often with random clip-level splits of datasets built from a few long recordings and pieces of existing sound collections, so pie...

One-shot Distributed Learning via Weighted Averaging with Server-side Information

Distributed learning has drawn considerable attention due to its capability of learning from distributed data without aggregating raw observations. However, frequent exchange of model updates can become the main bottleneck of communication. Therefore, one-shot approaches where each worker fits a local model and sends i...

Estimating "Realized" Skewness using Convolutional Neural Network

We propose a new estimator of low-frequency skewness (monthly) that exploits high-frequency data (5 min) through a direct functional mapping consisting of layers of Convolutional Neural Networks followed by Multi Layer Perceptrons. Monte Carlo experiments involving stochastic volatility models, with and without jumps,...

Conditional independence and graphical models for rankings

Ranking models define probability distributions over rankings and are fundamental in applications such as preference learning and decision-making. Without structural assumptions, these models are intractable due to their factorial complexity. Although independence assumptions are key to reducing complexity and enabling...
