Multi-Robot Allocation for Information Gathering in Non-Uniform Spatiotemporal Environments
Autonomous robots are increasingly deployed to estimate spatiotemporal fields (e.g., wind, temperature, gas concentration) that vary across space and time. We consider environments divided into non-overlapping regions with distinct spatial and temporal dynamics, termed non-uniform spatiotemporal environments. Gaussian Processes (GPs) can be used to estimate these fields. The GP model depends on a kernel that encodes how the field co-varies in space and time, with its spatial and temporal length…

On Averages of Shifted Convolutions with Applications to $GL(2)$ and $GL(3)$ Fourier Coefficients
In this paper, we study the average of shifted sum for general multiplicative functions. As applications, we prove non-trivial upper bounds for weighted averages of shifted convolutions involving $GL(2)$ and $GL(3)$ Fourier coefficients without smoothing. We apply square-root cancellation on average over short intervals for $GL(2)$ Fourier coefficients with the standard Hardy-Littlewood circle method.

Evaluating Spatiotemporal Consistency in Automatically Generated Sewing Instructions
In this paper, we propose a novel, automatic tree-based evaluation metric for LLM-generated step-by-step assembly instructions, that more accurately reflects spatiotemporal aspects of construction than traditional metrics such as BLEU and BERT similarity scores. We apply our proposed metric to the domain of sewing instructions, and show that our metric better correlates with manually-annotated error counts as well as human quality ratings, demonstrating our metric's superiority for evaluating t…

Spatiotemporal Radar Gesture Recognition with Hybrid Spiking Neural Networks: Balancing Accuracy and Efficiency
Radar-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) offers privacy and robustness over camera-based methods, yet remains computationally demanding for edge deployment. We present the first use of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) for radar-based HAR on aircraft marshalling signal classification. Our novel hybrid architecture combines convolutional modules for spatial feature extraction with Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neurons for temporal processing, inherently capturing gesture dynamics. The model re…

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said he had outlined his concerns about the state of healthcare in the country to Trump, and said:
“He seemed to, for the first time, understand the magnitude of this crisis.
“We hope he’ll talk to the Republican leaders and tell them, we need bipartisan input on healthcare, on decisions into their bill. Their bill does not have these – they never talked to us.”
But there was little sign that Republicans had shifted from their demands tha…
