Beyond Heuristics is a 3-page research journal on how Artificial Intelligence is changing logic gate synthesis in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Modern chips contain billions of gates, and traditional rule-based synthesis struggles to balance power, performance, and area. The journal reviews three AI approaches to...

Building on recent insights that augmenting reinforcement‐learning policies with disturbance estimates improves robustness and sim-to-real transfer, this paper proposes a disturbance-aware actor–critic RL framework for high‐precision robotic manipulators. We derive the dynamics of manipulators ranging from two to six d...

Fast charging of lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs is constrained by thermal runaway risk, cell state-of-charge (SOC) imbalance, and accelerated capacity fade, challenges compounded by spatial temperature gradients and the diversity of cathode chemistries and configurations across electric vehicles and stationary storage...

Adaptive reinforcement learning requires assigning outcomes to the features of actions that causally determine them. Yet humans also learn reward associations with action features that are explicitly known to be outcome-irrelevant, and these associations can bias subsequent choices. Whether such maladaptive learning is...
View-based 3D model classification benefits from mature 2D visual backbones, but dense multi-view rendering usually contains many repeated observations. This paper therefore focuses on two practical questions: how to keep a compact set of representative views, and how to make the classifier learn more from difficult vi...

Abstract Efficient energy management in a battery-fed electric vehicle (EV) traction system requires coordinated control of propulsion power, battery operating conditions, Direct Current (DC)-link voltage, and regenerative braking under rapidly changing driving conditions. This study develops a machine learning (ML)-ba...

With explosive data-driven application growth and increasing complexity of contemporary computing environments, conventional static cache management methods fall short more and more. This chapter discusses how reinforcement learning (RL) and deep learning (DL) models are disrupting cache optimization by making caching...

Decision models answer typed questions with probabilities instead of text, and their main selling point is that those probabilities can be trusted. TypeSafe says its Jev model, trained with an unpublished method called Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions (RLCD), returns "epistemically honest" probabilities....

Government blockchain exhibits distinct characteristics including diverse transaction types, stringent permission hierarchies, and complex cross-departmental approval processes. Existing sharding scheduling mechanisms often lead to issues such as unauthorized downgrading of high-access transactions and missing approval...

FINDING: The search results are dominated by YouTube titles and metadata for IMO 2025/2026 problems, with no actual mathematical content extracted. The only substantive item is an arXiv paper on robotic garment folding (LeHome Challenge 2026), which is unrelated to olympiad mathematics. | MATH: No equations, constants,...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
