Прикріплено: 1 зображення I often think about how life changed during the war. We still do the same things, but with a chance that my home will be destroyed by a russian rocket. Two of my classmates were killed in battle. Most of my money goes to volunteers who are helping with everything. (btw, do not donate to the Red Cross, they're a scam). One Kyiv beauty store shared a picture a week ago, and i find it worth sharing. Picture from: https://www.instagram.com/milas.…

Handling Reward Misspecification in the Presence of Expectation Mismatch
Detecting and handling misspecified objectives, such as reward functions, has been widely recognized as one of the central challenges within the domain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) safety research. However, even with the recognition of the importance of this problem, we are unaware of any works that attempt to provide a clear definition for what constitutes (a) misspecified objectives and (b) successfully resolving such misspecifications. In this work, we use the theory of mind, i.e., the hu…

BEATLE -- Self-Reconfigurable Aerial Robot: Design, Control and Experimental Validation
Modular self-reconfigurable robots (MSRRs) offer enhanced task flexibility by constructing various structures suitable for each task. However, conventional terrestrial MSRRs equipped with wheels face critical challenges, including limitations in the size of constructible structures and system robustness due to elevated wrench loads applied to each module. In this work, we introduce an Aerial MSRR (A-MSRR) system named BEATLE, capable of merging and separating in-flight. BEATLE can merge without…

Partial Okounkov bodies and Duistermaat--Heckman measures of non-Archimedean metrics
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. We construct partial Okounkov bodies associated to Hermitian pseudo-effective line bundles $(L,ϕ)$ on $X$. We show that partial Okounkov bodies are universal invariants of the singularity of $ϕ$. As an application, we generalize the theorem of Boucksom--Chen and construct Duistermaat--Heckman measures associated with finite energy metrics on the Berkovich analytification of an ample line bundle.

Time evolution of the Boltzmann entropy for a nonequilibrium dilute gas
We investigate the time evolution of the Boltzmann entropy of a dilute gas of N particles, N>>1, as it undergoes a free expansion doubling its volume. The microstate of the system, a point in the 4N dimensional phase space, changes in time via Hamiltonian dynamics. Its entropy, at any time $t$, is given by the logarithm of the phase space volume of all the microstates giving rise to its macrostate at time $t$. The macrostates that we consider are defined by coarse graining the one-particle phas…

Quenched Mixing Rates for Doubly Intermittent Maps
We study quenched mixing rates for two classes of random interval maps characterized by the presence of two indifferent fixed points and singular points. Using a random tower construction we prove the existence of an equivariant absolutely continuous probability measures with polynomial decay of correlations.

Lightweight Deep Learning for Resource-Constrained Environments: A Survey
Over the past decade, the dominance of deep learning has prevailed across various domains of artificial intelligence, including natural language processing, computer vision, and biomedical signal processing. While there have been remarkable improvements in model accuracy, deploying these models on lightweight devices, such as mobile phones and microcontrollers, is constrained by limited resources. In this survey, we provide comprehensive design guidance tailored for these devices, detailing the…
