Learning Approach to Efficient Vision-based Active Tracking of a Flying Target by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Autonomous tracking of flying aerial objects has important civilian and defense applications, ranging from search and rescue to counter-unmanned aerial systems (counter-UAS). Ground based tracking requires setting up infrastructure, could be range limited, and may not be feasible in remote areas, crowded cities or in dense vegetation areas. Vision based active tracking of aerial objects from another airborne vehicle, e.g., a chaser unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), promises to fill this important …

Active Δ-learning with universal potentials for global structure optimization
Universal machine learning interatomic potentials (uMLIPs) have recently been formulated and shown to generalize well. When applied out-of-sample, further data collection for improvement of the uMLIPs may, however, be required. In this work we demonstrate that, whenever the envisaged use of the MLIPs is global optimization, the data acquisition can follow an active learning scheme in which a gradually updated uMLIP directs the finding of new structures, which are subsequently evaluated at the d…

Deep Intrinsic Coregionalization Multi-Output Gaussian Process Surrogate with Active Learning
Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs) are powerful surrogate models known for their flexibility and ability to capture complex functions. However, extending them to multi-output settings remains challenging due to the need for efficient dependency modeling. We propose the Deep Intrinsic Coregionalization Multi-Output Gaussian Process (deepICMGP) surrogate for computer simulation experiments involving multiple outputs, which extends the Intrinsic Coregionalization Model (ICM) by introducing hierarchica…

Partially Observable Residual Reinforcement Learning for PV-Inverter-Based Voltage Control in Distribution Grids
This paper introduces an efficient Residual Reinforcement Learning (RRL) framework for voltage control in active distribution grids. Voltage control remains a critical challenge in distribution grids, where conventional Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods often suffer from slow training convergence and inefficient exploration. To overcome these challenges, the proposed RRL approach learns a residual policy on top of a modified Sequential Droop Control (SDC) mechanism, ensuring faster convergenc…

Active Learning for Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis
The goal of active learning for program synthesis is to synthesize the desired program by asking targeted questions that minimize user interaction. While prior work has explored active learning in the purely symbolic setting, such techniques are inadequate for the increasingly popular paradigm of neurosymbolic program synthesis, where the synthesized program incorporates neural components. When applied to the neurosymbolic setting, such techniques can -- and, in practice, do -- return an uninte…

Offline model-based optimization (MBO) refers to the task of optimizing a black-box objective function using only a fixed set of prior input-output data, without any active experimentation.

Active Learning with Variational Quantum Circuits for Quantum Process Tomography
Quantum process tomography (QPT) is a fundamental tool for fully characterizing quantum systems. It relies on querying a set of quantum states as input to the quantum process. Previous QPT methods typically employ a straightforward strategy for randomly selecting quantum states, overlooking differences in informativeness among them. In this work, we propose a general active learning (AL) framework that adaptively selects the most informative subset of quantum states for reconstruction. We desig…

Random Walk Learning and the Pac-Man Attack
Random walk (RW)-based algorithms have long been popular in distributed systems due to low overheads and scalability, with recent growing applications in decentralized learning. However, their reliance on local interactions makes them inherently vulnerable to malicious behavior. In this work, we investigate an adversarial threat that we term the ``Pac-Man'' attack, in which a malicious node probabilistically terminates any RW that visits it. This stealthy behavior gradually eliminates active RW…

Online design of experiments by active learning for nonlinear system identification
We investigate the use of active-learning (AL) strategies to generate the input excitation signal at runtime for system identification of linear and nonlinear autoregressive and state-space models. We adapt various existing AL approaches for static model regression to the dynamic context, coupling them with a Kalman filter to update the model parameters recursively, and also cope with the presence of input and output constraints. We show the increased sample efficiency of the proposed approache…

Using Machine Learning to Compute Constrained Optimal Carbon Tax Rules
We develop a computational framework for deriving Pareto-improving and constrained optimal carbon tax rules in a stochastic overlapping generations (OLG) model with climate change. By integrating Deep Equilibrium Networks for fast policy evaluation and Gaussian process surrogate modeling with Bayesian active learning, the framework systematically locates optimal carbon tax schedules for heterogeneous agents exposed to climate risk. We apply our method to a 12-period OLG model in which exogenous…

AL-SPCE -- Reliability analysis for nondeterministic models using stochastic polynomial chaos expansions and active learning
Reliability analysis typically relies on deterministic simulators, which yield repeatable outputs for identical inputs. However, many real-world systems display intrinsic randomness, requiring stochastic simulators whose outputs are random variables. This inherent variability must be accounted for in reliability analysis. While Monte Carlo methods can handle this, their high computational cost is often prohibitive. To address this, stochastic emulators have emerged as efficient surrogate models…
