Benefits of Linear Dynamic State Feedback in Co-stabilization

Xiong Zeng, Necmiye Ozay, Mario Sznaier

Co-stabilization, i.e., designing a single controller that stabilizes multiple systems, is a fundamental problem in robust and data-driven control. While any stabilizable linear sy…

Expressive Power of WSTL Formulas for Learning to Rank

Ruya Karagulle, Gustavo A. Cardona, Necmiye Ozay +1

Weighted Signal Temporal Logic (WSTL) is increasingly used as a scoring function in learning-to-rank problems of trajectories with safety guarantees, where its weighted quantitativ…

End-to-End Abstraction-Based Control with LLM-Enhanced NL-to-LTL Translation

Amir Bayat, Necmiye Ozay, Alessandro Abate +1

Abstraction-Based Controller Design (ABCD) offers a principled framework for the safe control of complex Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), but interfacing real-world requirements with…

Active Reward Machine Inference From Raw State Trajectories

Mohamad Louai Shehab, Antoine Aspeel, Necmiye Ozay

Reward machines are automaton-like structures that capture the memory required to accomplish a multi-stage task. When combined with reinforcement learning or optimal control method…

Safe Control of Multi-Agent Systems with Minimal Communication

Mo Yang, Jing Yu, Necmiye Ozay

In many multi-agent systems, communication is limited by bandwidth, latency, and energy constraints. Designing controllers that achieve coordination and safety with minimal communi…

Safe and Optimal Learning from Preferences via Weighted Temporal Logic with Applications in Robotics and Formula 1

Ruya Karagulle, Cristian-Ioan Vasile, Necmiye Ozay

Autonomous systems increasingly rely on human feedback to align their behavior, expressed as pairwise comparisons, rankings, or demonstrations. While existing methods can adapt beh…

Initial Distribution Sensitivity of Constrained Markov Decision Processes

Alperen Tercan, Necmiye Ozay

Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs) are notably more complex to solve than standard MDPs due to the absence of universally optimal policies across all initial state distr…

Efficient Reward Identification In Max Entropy Reinforcement Learning with Sparsity and Rank Priors

Mohamad Louai Shehab, Alperen Tercan, Necmiye Ozay

In this paper, we consider the problem of recovering time-varying reward functions from either optimal policies or demonstrations coming from a max entropy reinforcement learning p…

Mode-Prefix-Based Control of Switched Linear Systems with Applications to Fault Tolerance

Ram Padmanabhan, Antoine Aspeel, Necmiye Ozay +1

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing prefix-based optimal controllers for switched linear systems over finite horizons. This problem arises in fault-tolerant control…

Learning Reward Machines from Partially Observed Policies

Mohamad Louai Shehab, Antoine Aspeel, Necmiye Ozay

Inverse reinforcement learning is the problem of inferring a reward function from an optimal policy or demonstrations by an expert. In this work, it is assumed that the reward is e…

Noise Sensitivity of the Semidefinite Programs for Direct Data-Driven LQR

Xiong Zeng, Laurent Bako, Necmiye Ozay

In this paper, we study the noise sensitivity of the semidefinite program (SDP) proposed for direct data-driven infinite-horizon linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem for discre…

Minimal L2-Consistent Data-Transmission

Antoine Aspeel, Laurent Bako, Necmiye Ozay

In this work, we consider non-collocated sensors and actuators, and we address the problem of minimizing the number of sensor-to-actuator transmissions while ensuring that the L2 g…
