CURA: Certified Runtime Alarms for Computer-Use Agents
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +5
Self-report is the cheapest oversight channel a deployer has, and on capable computer-use agents (CUAs) it fails precisely where oversight matters. On 361 OSWorld tasks our pipelin…
Uncertainty Quantification for Computer-Use Agents: A Benchmark across Vision-Language Models and GUI Grounding Datasets
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +5
Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severi…
GroundControl: Anticipating Navigation Failures in Vision-Language Agents via Trajectory-Consistent Uncertainty Estimates
Nastaran Darabi, Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati +2
Vision-language navigation agents achieve competitive average success on benchmark tasks, yet failures often arise through predictable trajectory-level breakdowns such as oscillati…
VLM Judges Can Rank but Cannot Score: Task-Dependent Uncertainty in Multimodal Evaluation
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +2
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as automated judges for multimodal systems, yet their scores provide no indication of reliability. We study this problem through…
Belief Dynamics for Detecting Behavioral Shifts in Safe Collaborative Manipulation
Devashri Naik, Divake Kumar, Nastaran Darabi +1
Robots operating in shared workspaces must maintain safe coordination with other agents whose behavior may change during task execution. When a collaborating agent switches strateg…
TRIAGE: Type-Routed Interventions via Aleatoric-Epistemic Gated Estimation in Robotic Manipulation and Adaptive Perception -- Don't Treat All Uncertainty the Same
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +4
Most uncertainty-aware robotic systems collapse prediction uncertainty into a single scalar score and use it to trigger uniform corrective responses. This aggregation obscures whet…
Calibrated Decomposition of Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty in Deep Features for Inference-Time Adaptation
Divake Kumar, Patrick Poggi, Sina Tayebati +3
Most estimators collapse all uncertainty modes into a single confidence score, preventing reliable reasoning about when to allocate more compute or adjust inference. We introduce U…
Causal-Guided Dimension Reduction for Efficient Pareto Optimization
Dinithi Jayasuriya, Divake Kumar, Sureshkumar Senthilkumar +3
Multi-objective optimization of analog circuits is hindered by high-dimensional parameter spaces, strong feedback couplings, and expensive transistor-level simulations. Evolutionar…
EigenShield: Causal Subspace Filtering via Random Matrix Theory for Adversarially Robust Vision-Language Models
Nastaran Darabi, Devashri Naik, Sina Tayebati +3
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) inherit adversarial vulnerabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), which are further exacerbated by their multimodal nature. Existing defenses, incl…
Enhancing 3D Robotic Vision Robustness by Minimizing Adversarial Mutual Information through a Curriculum Training Approach
Nastaran Darabi, Dinithi Jayasuriya, Devashri Naik +2
Adversarial attacks exploit vulnerabilities in a model's decision boundaries through small, carefully crafted perturbations that lead to significant mispredictions. In 3D vision, t…
