I don’t GM nearly as often as I used to. However, today was the first #DCCRPG game I’ve run, and surprisingly it wasn’t a disaster.
I may have to do this again soon.

Adaptive Model Ensemble for Continual Learning
Model ensemble is an effective strategy in continual learning, which alleviates catastrophic forgetting by interpolating model parameters, achieving knowledge fusion learned from different tasks. However, existing model ensemble methods usually encounter the knowledge conflict issue at task and layer levels, causing compromised learning performance in both old and new tasks. To solve this issue, we propose meta-weight-ensembler that adaptively fuses knowledge of different tasks for continual le…

Century-old corals reveal the Pacific Northwest is acidifying faster than expected
In 1888, researchers aboard the R/V Albatross began the world’s first concentrated marine research expeditions off California’s Pacific coast. The team collected untold plant and animal specimens, including orange cup corals, which they carefully preserved and stored in collections at the Smithsonian Institution. These specimens have now become rare physical evidence of ongoing changes in […]

Certified Learning-Enabled Noise-Aware Motion Planning for Urban Air Mobility
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has emerged as a promising solution to alleviate urban congestion and transportation challenges. Nevertheless, the noise generated by eVTOL aircrafts poses a significant barrier to public acceptance and regulatory approval, potentially limiting the operational scope and scalability of UAM systems. Hence, the successful adoption of UAM systems hinges on the ability to predict generated noise levels, and further develop motion planning strategies that comply with communit…

Aerial-Ground Image Feature Matching via 3D Gaussian Splatting-based Intermediate View Rendering
The integration of aerial and ground images has been a promising solution in 3D modeling of complex scenes, which is seriously restricted by finding reliable correspondences. The primary contribution of this study is a feature matching algorithm for aerial and ground images, whose core idea is to generate intermediate views to alleviate perspective distortions caused by the extensive viewpoint changes. First, by using aerial images only, sparse models are reconstructed through an incremental Sf…

Approximately Optimal Toll Design for Efficiency and Equity in Arc-Based Traffic Assignment Models
Congestion pricing policies have emerged as promising traffic management tools to alleviate traffic congestion caused by travelers' selfish routing behaviors. The core principle behind deploying tolls is to impose monetary costs on frequently overcrowded routes, to incentivize self-interested travelers to select less easily congested routes. Recent literature has focused on toll design based on arc-based traffic assignment models (TAMs), which characterize commuters as traveling through a traff…

Zonotope-Based Elastic Tube Model Predictive Control
Tube-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a widely adopted robust control framework for constrained linear systems under additive disturbance. The paper is focused on reducing the numerical complexity associated with the tube parameterization, described as a sequence of elastically-scaled zonotopic sets. A new class of scaled-zonotope inclusion conditions is proposed, alleviating the need for a priori specification of certain set-containment constraints and achieving significant reductions i…
