Techno-Economic analysis for Smart Hangar inspection operations through Sensing and Localisation at scale
The accuracy, resilience, and affordability of localisation are fundamental to autonomous robotic inspection within aircraft maintenance and overhaul (MRO) hangars. Hangars typically feature tall ceilings and are often made of materials such as metal. Due to its nature, it is considered a GPS-denied environment, with extensive multipath effects and stringent operational constraints that collectively create a uniquely challenging environment. This persistent gap highlights the need for domain-sp…

Sonnet 064 - LXIV
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defac'd
The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;
When sometime lofty towers I see down-raz'd,
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;
When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss, and loss with store;
When I have seen such interchange of state,
Or state itself conf…

Behold! A praying mantis came to me in a vision, and they spake:
I was born in the temple of cracked reeds,
my limbs broken compasses angled toward famine.
I learned hunger as scripture,
and patience as the whetstone of my soul.
Know this, children: the air is my parchment,
flesh my scribe.
I write the fate of moths with the green ink of my raptorial forelegs.
When I devour, it is not cruelty but covenant.
When I bow my head, it is not ritual bu…

ExpertWeave: Efficiently Serving Expert-Specialized Fine-Tuned Adapters at Scale
Expert-Specialized Fine-Tuning (ESFT) adapts Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models to enhance their task-specific performance by selectively tuning the top-activated experts for the task. Serving these fine-tuned models at scale is challenging: deploying merged models in isolation is prohibitively resource-hungry, while existing multi-adapter serving systems with LoRA-style additive updates are incompatible with ESFT's expert-oriented paradigm. We present ExpertWeave, a system that ser…

U-SWIFT: A Unified Surface Wave Inversion Framework with Transformer via Normalization of Dispersion Curves
Deep learning is an increasingly popular approach for inverting surface wave dispersion curves to obtain Vs profiles. However, its generalizability is constrained by the depth and velocity scales of training data. We propose a unified deep learning framework that overcomes this limitation via normalization of dispersion curves. By leveraging the scaling properties of dispersion curves, our approach enables a single, pre-trained model to predict Vs profiles across diverse scales, from shallow su…
