Embodied intelligence could grant soft, robotic manipulators with increased performance in adaptability and dexterity. However, we currently have a lack of tools for the forward design of finger behaviours with high-dimensional morphology. We take an open- ...

We propose a machine learning-based estimator of the hand state for rehabilitation purposes, using light exoskeletons. These devices are easy to use and useful for delivering domestic and frequent therapies. We build a supervised approach using information ...

To protect both local gradients and estimated parameters in distributed learning, this paper introduces a masked diffusion (MD) strategy, leading to two algorithms: the MD stochastic gradient (MD-SG) and the MD primal-dual stochastic gradient (MPD-SG). The ...

A first-principles approach for calculating ion separation in solution through two-dimensional (2D) membranes is proposed and applied. Ionic energy profiles across the membrane are obtained first, where solvation effects are simulated explicitly with machi ...

Virtual reality (VR) technology revitalises rehabilitation training by creating rich, interactive virtual rehabilitation scenes and tasks that deeply engage patients. Robotics with immersive VR environments have the potential to significantly enhance the s ...

Social robots are widely used for educational activities, especially to attract children's attention. As a side effect, pupils' excitement can suppress their focus on the tutors and the content being approached. A potential solution to tackle this issue is ...

For high-dimensional Gaussian data, we investigate theoretically how the features of a two-layer neural network adapt to the structure of the target function through a few large batch gradient descent steps, leading to an improvement in the approximation c ...

The social learning paradigm for distributed hypothesis testing involves a collection of agents interacting over a graph, each observing streaming data that provide evidence about the state of the environment. These agents perform a series of local Bayesia ...

Forthcoming imaging surveys will increase the number of known galaxy-scale strong lenses by several orders of magnitude. For this to happen, images of billions of galaxies will have to be inspected to identify potential candidates. In this context, deep-le ...

This paper systematically analyzes the security risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) components in autonomous vehicles (AVs). Given the increasing reliance on AI for various AV functions, from perception to control, the potential for security ...

Electrochemical devices and systems are significant for the development of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and personalized therapy. However, electrochemical sensors are usually not that much selective. Therefore, innovative machine learning (ML) approac ...

Stochastic Nonlinear Optimal Control (SNOC) involves minimizing a cost function that averages out the random uncertainties affecting the dynamics of nonlinear systems. For tractability reasons, this problem is typically addressed by minimizing an empirical ...

Recent efforts in natural language processing (NLP) commonsense reasoning research have yielded a considerable number of new datasets and benchmarks. However, most of these datasets formulate commonsense reasoning challenges in artificial scenarios that ar ...

Transformer-based architectures are the model of choice for natural language understanding, but they come at a significant cost, as they have quadratic complexity in the input length, require a lot of training data, and can be difficult to tune. In the pur ...
