This article provides a gentle introduction to recent advances in deep learning from a control theory perspective and discusses how control theory has recently been used to better understand and design deep neural networks.

Dexterous robot hands can receive useful motion intent from teleoperation or learned policies, but successful execution also depends on contact decisions that these commands rarely specify. We introduce DexFLEX, a contact-aware foundation controller that turns upstream fingertip-motion drafts into contact-consistent jo...

Having demonstrated a strong potential for automating vulnerability discovery, AI agents can also be used to attack software systems at scale. Today's software systems need mechanisms to level the playing field by slowing down potential attacks, giving them time to patch vulnerabilities and strengthen software. Along t...

Foundation models like V-JEPA are increasingly deployed across a heterogeneous edge-cloud continuum spanning smart glasses, phones, robots, and servers. Yet, they are typically trained as rigid, fixed-capacity networks bound to one device, supporting neither reconfigurable compute budgets nor collaborative execution. E...

Reconstructing accurate camera poses and floor-plan layouts from sparse, unposed, wide-baseline RGB panoramas remains a challenging open problem. Direct multi-room floor-plan prediction is especially difficult in this setting: pose, geometry, semantics, and global layout structure are tightly coupled, yet a complete fl...

Video diffusion models increasingly serve as priors for 4D generation, but the generated videos often lack geometric consistency. Recent approaches address this through post-training by designing geometric rewards, yet this can degrade texture and fine detail, requiring auxiliary appearance rewards and careful reward b...

Learning long-range dependencies with recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is difficult because of the vanishing gradient problem. Gated recurrent neural networks like GRUs and LSTMs address this problem and are commonly explained by their ability to create additive copy paths through time. This explanation is correct, but...

LLM data engineering requires iterative experimentation to determine how data selection, rewards, and curricula affect model learning, making it a natural setting for AI-for-AI (AI4AI) research. Can agents use experimental feedback to progressively improve strategies, and do the resulting strategies improve target-mode...

Softmax attention in Transformers suffers from quadratic complexity in sequence length, making it impractical for long-context applications. Linear attention alleviates this issue by replacing the exponential kernel with alternative functions that enable linear-time computation. Among existing linear attention approach...

Diffusion language models (DLMs) offer parallel sampling for faster generation than autoregressive models, an increasingly important advantage as inference becomes a dominant computational workload. However, DLMs degrade quickly with fewer sampling steps, process the full sequence at every step, and require many passes...

Large language models typically support different inference budgets through separate model sizes or fixed compute configurations. In multi-turn interactions, however, compute demand can vary substantially across turns. Using a high-compute model for every turn wastes computation, while routing among independent models...

LLM program-search agents are usually judged by the score that drives their search. We study LLM-driven search over Python exercise policies for Bermudan options, an optimal stopping problem where a trusted evaluator owns the simulation and a dual upper bound~$U$. For any policy, $0 \le V^\star - L_\pi \le U - L_\pi$;...
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.

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.
