Topological shadowing for linear operators

Y. Yang, C. A. Morales

We prove a linear operator of a finite-dimensional Banach space has the topological shadowing property, as introduced in \cite{lny}, if and only if its spectrum lies either within…

Class Geometry as Supervision for Sample-Efficient Open-World Detection

Akash Rao, Zhou Chen, Revanth Reddy Palem +3

Open-world object detection requires models to recognize known categories, reject unfamiliar objects, and incorporate new classes over time. This is especially challenging in scarc…

CRAFT-E: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Embodied Affordance Grounding

Zhou Chen, Joe Lin, Carson Bulgin +1

Assistive robots operating in unstructured environments must understand not only what objects are, but what they can be used for. This requires grounding language-based action quer…

Generalized Event Partonomy Inference with Structured Hierarchical Predictive Learning

Zhou Chen, Joe Lin, Sathyanarayanan N. Aakur\\

Humans naturally perceive continuous experience as a hierarchy of temporally nested events, fine-grained actions embedded within coarser routines. Replicating this structure in com…

CRAFT: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Visual Functional Affordance Grounding

Zhou Chen, Joe Lin, Sathyanarayanan N. Aakur

We introduce CRAFT, a neuro-symbolic framework for interpretable affordance grounding, which identifies the objects in a scene that enable a given action (e.g., "cut"). CRAFT integ…

EASE: Embodied Active Event Perception via Self-Supervised Energy Minimization

Zhou Chen, Sanjoy Kundu, Harsimran S. Baweja +1

Active event perception, the ability to dynamically detect, track, and summarize events in real time, is essential for embodied intelligence in tasks such as human-AI collaboration…
