Old Disks Die Hard: How Does AGN Feedback Suppress Disk Formation in Milky Way Mass Galaxies?
Patricia Fofie, James S. Bullock, Sarah Wellons +3
The connection between a galaxy's visual shape and its star formation rate is one of the oldest established trends in galaxy evolution, yet the origin of this trend remains unsettl…
DIRECT: When and Where Should You Allocate Test-Time Compute in Embodied Planners?
Jadelynn Dao, Milan Ganai, Yasmina Abukhadra +7
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as high-level planners for embodied agents, with an emerging strategy of scaling test-time compute to improve capability. Ho…
Vision-Based Safe Human-Robot Collaboration with Uncertainty Guarantees
Jakob Thumm, Marian Frei, Tianle Ni +2
We propose a framework for vision-based human pose estimation and motion prediction that gives conformal prediction guarantees for certifiably safe human-robot collaboration. Our f…
Sim2Val: Leveraging Correlation Across Test Platforms for Variance-Reduced Metric Estimation
Rachel Luo, Heng Yang, Michael Watson +4
Learning-based robotic systems demand rigorous validation to assure reliable performance, but extensive real-world testing is often prohibitively expensive, and if conducted may st…
Performance assessment of ADAS in a representative subset of critical traffic situations
Luigi Di Lillo, Andrea Triscari, Xilin Zhou +3
As a variety of automated collision prevention systems gain presence within personal vehicles, rating and differentiating the automated safety performance of car models has become…
