Enabling humanoid robots to perform agile and adaptive interactions has long been a core challenge in robotics. Current approaches are bottlenecked by either the scarcity of realistic interaction data or the need for meticulous, task-specific reward engineering, which limits their scalability. To narrow this gap, we pr...
Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful approach for accelerating the discovery of thermoelectric (TE) materials, yet many models suffer from limited generalizability. Here we present a robust ML framework for predicting the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) in half-Heusler (hH) compounds, emphasizing predict...
Deep neural networks are highly susceptible to backdoor attacks, yet most defense methods to date rely on balanced data, overlooking the pervasive class imbalance in real-world scenarios that can amplify backdoor threats. This paper presents the first in-depth investigation of how the dataset imbalance amplifies backdo...
We introduce a principled learning to optimize (L2O) framework for solving fixed-point problems involving general nonexpansive mappings. Our idea is to deliberately inject summable perturbations into a standard Krasnosel'skii-Mann iteration to improve its average-case performance over a specific distribution of problem...

Joining heterogeneous tables requires different forms of correspondence, including exact agreement, syntactic transformation, semantic similarity, and entity-level matching. The appropriate join method is often unknown in advance, while running every candidate method incurs unnecessary cost. We introduce MetaJoin, a la...
Continuous-time stochastic processes underlie many natural and engineered systems. In healthcare, autonomous driving, and industrial control, direct interaction with the environment is often unsafe or impractical, motivating offline reinforcement learning from historical data. However, there is limited statistical unde...
Second-order methods make fast progress per iteration, but forming and factorizing the Hessian often dominates their wall-clock time. We study \emph{Split-Client}, a task-parallel design in which a curvature client factorizes Hessians in the background while a gradient client takes cubic-regularized steps with the most...
Spatial prediction refers to the estimation of unobserved values from spatially distributed observations. Although recent advances have improved the capacity to model diverse observation types, adoption in practice remains limited in industries that demand interpretability. To mitigate this gap, surrogate models that e...
Bayesian optimal experimental design provides a principled framework for selecting experimental configurations that maximize obtained information. In this work, we consider settings where the likelihood entropy is independent of the design or can be evaluated explicitly, which applies, e.g. to additive noise models wit...
Urban microclimate, encompassing wind and temperature fields shaped by building geometry, strongly affects building energy use, pedestrian wind comfort, pollutant dispersion, the urban heat island, and public health. Conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is computationally prohibitive for rapid assessments, w...
This paper proposes a fully data-driven approach for optimal control of nonlinear control-affine systems represented by a stochastic diffusion. The focus is on the scenario where both the nonlinear dynamics and stage cost functions are unknown, while only a control penalty function and constraints are provided. To this...
Training error is what we can observe on a training set; test error is the quantity we care about. We study squared-error linear regression in a deterministic $(d+1)$-dimensional single-spike model. Each training vector has spike coordinate $\sqrt{\gamma}$, $\gamma>1$, and equal-norm, mutually orthogonal nuisance compo...
A new machine-learning approach broke records for weather forecasting for an important time frame in emergency planning.
Learn how Google DeepMind and GovTech Singapore uses lightweight on-device Gemma models to intercept conversational scams in private chats with zero cloud data egress.
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
