This work shows that for a broad class of combinatorial optimization problems and commonly used rotational gate parameterizations, the measurement cost of DQAS can be significantly reduced without changing the optimization objective.

Dataset pruning reduces a large training set to a representative subset while preserving model performance. Existing geometry-based methods typically assume that nearby points in embedding space share similar properties. Rather than imposing this assumption, we derive geometric selection criteria by reformulating unbia...
This paper proposes a class of anytime algorithms, dubbed Exposure-Capped Reuse (ECR), that combine online change detection, compatibility testing, and contamination control, and derives a novel information-theoretic lower bound that establishes the near-minimax optimality of ECR.
Road safety programs count the coded fields of police crash records, while the officer's narrative, which often records factors the fields omit, is rarely read. A safety office thus cannot tell how much its counts miss or where to review. This study develops and evaluates a system that joins both views of the 5,601,890...

While energy efficiency is a critical objective for legged-robot locomotion control, achieving low energy consumption while maintaining robust performance across different velocity ranges and terrain conditions remains a key challenge. This is particularly true for end-to-end RL policies, where gait generation, motion...

Results show how rich fingertip sensing and expressive temporal models that capture the dynamics of touch can support learned grasping with multi-fingered hands without explicit contact or force modeling, providing a scalable data-driven path from tactile experience toward stable dexterous manipulation.

We propose a neural algorithm for sampling from distributions specified by unnormalized Boltzmann densities. Our approach is based on the Jordan--Kinderlehrer--Otto scheme for the Kullback--Leibler divergence in the Wasserstein--Fisher--Rao geometry (WFR JKO scheme). Our contributions are twofold. First, we prove that,...

Context: Once defined a taxonomy of stages structuring Machine Learning (ML) pipelines (e.g. Data Preprocessing, Modeling...), extracting these stages from source code is key for better understanding ML practices. However, the diversity caused by the constant evolution of ML (e.g., algorithms, datasets) makes this task...

In the cow-path problem, a cow must find a goal lying at an unknown distance on one of $w$ paths connected only at the origin, and performance is measured by competitive ratio. Kao, Reif and Tate designed an efficient randomized algorithm in which the cow visits the paths in a fixed cyclic order. They proved the algori...
Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) can require many splits to approximate boundaries misaligned with the predictor axes. RoBART assigns each tree a rotation shared by all internal nodes, retaining axis-aligned splits in rotated coordinates and constant leaves. We jointly propose a Givens rotation sequence and cu...
Automatic audio scene description turns a recording into a text account of a situation. One difficulty is deciding which elements of the audio should be kept, since a description cannot include them all. Annotators disagree about this, making a ground truth hard to obtain. In this work, we first define the ground truth...

Links are disjoint unions of circles smoothly embedded in $S^3$. We use reinforcement learning and Bayesian optimisation to obtain new upper bounds on several link invariants that are not known to be algorithmically computable: the slice genus and the unknotting number for links, and the strong slice genus for algebrai...
