Lightweight Relevance Grader in RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses limitations of large language models (LLMs) by leveraging a vector database to provide more accurate and up-to-date information. When a user submits a query, RAG executes a vector search to find relevant documents, which are then used to generate a response. However, ensuring the relevance of retrieved documents with a query would be a big challenge. To address this, a secondary model, known as a relevant grader, can be served to verify its relevan…

A Roadmap for Climate-Relevant Robotics Research
Climate change is one of the defining challenges of the 21st century, and many in the robotics community are looking for ways to contribute. This paper presents a roadmap for climate-relevant robotics research, identifying high-impact opportunities for collaboration between roboticists and experts across climate domains such as energy, the built environment, transportation, industry, land use, and Earth sciences. These applications include problems such as energy systems optimization, construct…

Modeling Open-World Cognition as On-Demand Synthesis of Probabilistic Models
When faced with novel situations, people are able to marshal relevant considerations from a wide range of background knowledge and put these to use in inferences and predictions. What permits us to draw in globally relevant information and reason over it coherently? Here, we explore the hypothesis that people use a combination of distributed and symbolic representations to construct bespoke mental models tailored to novel situations. We propose a computational implementation of this idea -- a `…

Policy-relevant causal effect estimation using instrumental variables with interference
Many policy evaluations using instrumental variable (IV) methods include individuals who interact with each other, potentially violating the standard IV assumptions. This paper defines and partially identifies direct and spillover effects with a clear policy-relevant interpretation under relatively mild assumptions on interference. Our framework accommodates both spillovers from the instrument to treatment and from treatment to outcomes and allows for multiple peers. By generalizing monotone tr…

I ordered in a DVD of "Wag The Dog" because it's ages since I saw it, and I had the feeling it would feel relevant.
WHOA, so much more so than I had thought!
Worth a watch, or rewatch - highly recommend ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wer denkt, Austritt aus TikTok/X wäre Kapitulation, verkennt das Spiel: Die Plattformbetreiber brauchen unsere Aufmerksamkeit – nicht unseren Widerspruch. Kuketz rät: Relevanz entziehen, Alternativen stärken. Nur außerhalb der Empörungsmaschine wird wirkliche Opposition sichtbar. #socialmedia

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist
Der Mythos der »notwendigen Opposition« auf Plattformen wie X und TikTok ist eine Illusion: Auseinandersetzungen verstärken Desinformation und fördern das Geschäftsmodell.

🍇 GRAPES: Learning to Sample Graphs for Scalable Graph Neural Networks 🍇
There's lots of work on sampling subgraphs for GNNs, but relatively little on making this sampling process _adaptive_. That is, learning to select the data from the graph that is relevant for your task.
We introduce an RL-based and a GFLowNet-based sampler and show that the approach perf…

ros2 fanuc interface: Design and Evaluation of a Fanuc CRX Hardware Interface in ROS2
This paper introduces the ROS2 control and the Hardware Interface (HW) integration for the Fanuc CRX- robot family. It explains basic implementation details and communication protocols, and its integration with the Moveit2 motion planning library. We conducted a series of experiments to evaluate relevant performances in the robotics field. We tested the developed ros2_fanuc_interface for four relevant robotics cases: step response, trajectory tracking, collision avoidance integrated with Moveit…
