Exploiting Policy Idling for Dexterous Manipulation
Learning-based methods for dexterous manipulation have made notable progress in recent years. However, learned policies often still lack reliability and exhibit limited robustness to important factors of variation. One failure pattern that can be observed across many settings is that policies idle, i.e. they cease to move beyond a small region of states when they reach certain states. This policy idling is often a reflection of the training data. For instance, it can occur when the data contain…

Machine learning models must balance accuracy and fairness, but these goals often conflict, particularly when data come from multiple demographic groups.

Prior analyses of the FA frontier provide a full characterization under the assumption of complete knowledge of population distributions -- an unreali…

Conservative quantum offline model-based optimization
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. Recent work has introduced quantum extremal learning (QEL), which leverages the expressive power of variational quantum circuits to learn accurate surrogate functions by training on a few data points. However, as widely studied in the classical machine learning literature, predictive models may incorrectly e…

Using Machine Learning to Generate, Clarify, and Improve Economic Models
Machine learning algorithms can now outperform classic economic models in predicting quantities ranging from bargaining outcomes, to choice under uncertainty, to an individual's future jobs and wages. Yet this predictive accuracy comes at a cost: most machine learning algorithms function as black boxes, offering little insight into \emph{why} outcomes occur. This article asks whether machine learning can guide the development of new economic theories. Economic models serve an important purpos…

The sample includes a broad range of stellar mass (both T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be) and disk evolutionary states (from full to debris disks). We find that 53% of the sample has CO rovibrational emission lines present in their spectrum with disk/stellar subtype detection rates of 82% for transition …

On Domination Exponents for Pairs of Graphs
Understanding graph density profiles is notoriously challenging. Even for pairs of graphs, complete characterizations are known only in very limited cases, such as edges versus cliques. This paper explores a relaxation of the graph density profile problem by examining the homomorphism density domination exponent $C(H_1, H_2)$. This is the smallest real number $c \geq 0$ such that $t(H_1, T) \geq t(H_2, T)^c$ for all target graphs $T$ (if such a $c$ exists) where $t(H,T)$ is the homomorphism den…

Vacuum bubble and fissure formation in collective motion with competing attractive and repulsive forces
We study the continuum limit of the motion of agents in the plane driven by competing short-range repulsion and long-range attractive forces. At a critical parameter value, we find destabilization of a trivial branch of uniformly distributed solutions and analyze bifurcating solutions. Curiously, the bifurcating branch is vertical, leading to a reversible, non-hysteretic phase transition. Near the bifurcation point, we demonstrate scaling laws for the size of vacuum regions, which can form fiss…
