Reinforced Refinement with Self-Aware Expansion for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
End-to-end autonomous driving has emerged as a promising paradigm for directly mapping sensor inputs to planning maneuvers using learning-based modular integrations. However, existing imitation learning (IL)-based models suffer from generalization to hard cases, and a lack of corrective feedback loop under post-deployment. While reinforcement learning (RL) offers a potential solution to tackle hard cases with optimality, it is often hindered by overfitting to specific driving cases, resulting i…

The move to Windows 11 isn’t just about security updates.
It increases dependence on Microsoft through aggressive cloud integration,
forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services.
It also leads to higher costs due to subscription and licensing models,
and reduces control over how your computer works and how your data is managed.
Furthermore, new hardware requirements will render millions of perfectly good PCs obsolete.
This is a turning point.

EasyDRAM: An FPGA-based Infrastructure for Fast and Accurate End-to-End Evaluation of Emerging DRAM Techniques
DRAM is a critical component of modern computing systems. Recent works propose numerous techniques (that we call DRAM techniques) to enhance DRAM-based computing systems' throughput, reliability, and computing capabilities (e.g., in-DRAM bulk data copy). Evaluating the system-wide benefits of DRAM techniques is challenging as they often require modifications across multiple layers of the computing stack. Prior works propose FPGA-based platforms for rapid end-to-end evaluation of DRAM techniques…

Work-in-Progress: Multi-Deadline DAG Scheduling Model for Autonomous Driving Systems
Autoware is an autonomous driving system implemented on Robot Operation System (ROS) 2, where an end-to-end timing guarantee is crucial to ensure safety. However, existing ROS 2 cause-effect chain models for analyzing end-to-end latency struggle to accurately represent the complexities of Autoware, particularly regarding sync callbacks, queue consumption patterns, and feedback loops. To address these problems, we propose a new scheduling model that decomposes the end-to-end timing constraints o…

Beyond Personalization: Federated Recommendation with Calibration via Low-rank Decomposition
Federated recommendation (FR) is a promising paradigm to protect user privacy in recommender systems. Distinct from general federated scenarios, FR inherently needs to preserve client-specific parameters, i.e., user embeddings, for privacy and personalization. However, we empirically find that globally aggregated item embeddings can induce skew in user embeddings, resulting in suboptimal performance. To this end, we theoretically analyze the user embedding skew issue and propose Personalized Fe…

Prompt Variability Effects On LLM Code Generation
Code generation is one of the most active areas of application of Large Language Models (LLMs). While LLMs lower barriers to writing code and accelerate development process, the overall quality of generated programs depends on the quality of given prompts. Specifically, functionality and quality of generated code can be sensitive to user's background and familiarity with software development. It is therefore important to quantify LLM's sensitivity to variations in the input. To this end we prop…

I’ve been around a while too, and I can vouch for this.
I remember somebody telling me with deadly earnestness circa 1999 that Java Beans were going to make it so that business analysts could write integration code themselves, no developers. Java Beans.
Two certainties in software:
1. The work always changes.
2. The work never goes away. https://front-end.social/@alvaromontoro/114494970685095188

VISCA: Inferring Component Abstractions for Automated End-to-End Testing
Providing optimal contextual input presents a significant challenge for automated end-to-end (E2E) test generation using large language models (LLMs), a limitation that current approaches inadequately address. This paper introduces Visual-Semantic Component Abstractor (VISCA), a novel method that transforms webpages into a hierarchical, semantically rich component abstraction. VISCA starts by partitioning webpages into candidate segments utilizing a novel heuristic-based segmentation method. Th…

Using Diffusion Ensembles to Estimate Uncertainty for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
End-to-end planning systems for autonomous driving are improving rapidly, especially in closed-loop simulation environments like CARLA. Many such driving systems either do not consider uncertainty as part of the plan itself, or obtain it by using specialized representations that do not generalize. In this paper, we propose EnDfuser, an end-to-end driving system that uses a diffusion model as the trajectory planner. EnDfuser effectively leverages complex perception information like fused camera …

Splatting Physical Scenes: End-to-End Real-to-Sim from Imperfect Robot Data
Creating accurate, physical simulations directly from real-world robot motion holds great value for safe, scalable, and affordable robot learning, yet remains exceptionally challenging. Real robot data suffers from occlusions, noisy camera poses, dynamic scene elements, which hinder the creation of geometrically accurate and photorealistic digital twins of unseen objects. We introduce a novel real-to-sim framework tackling all these challenges at once. Our key insight is a hybrid scene represen…
