Low-Burden LLM-Based Preference Learning: Personalizing Assistive Robots from Natural Language Feedback for Users with Paralysis

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Physically Assistive Robots require personalized behaviors to ensure user safety and comfort. However, traditional preference learning methods, like exhaustive pairwise comparisons, cause substantial physical and cognitive fatigue for users with severe motor impairments. To solve this, we propose a low-burden, offline framework that translates unstructured natural language feedback directly into deterministic […]

Low-Burden LLM-Based Preference Learning: Personalizing Assistive Robots from Natural Language Feedback for Users with Paralysis

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Physically Assistive Robots (PARs) require personalized behaviors to ensure user safety and comfort. However, traditional preference learning methods, like exhaustive pairwise comparisons, cause severe physical and cognitive fatigue for users with profound motor impairments. To solve this, we propose a low-burden, offline framework that translates unstructured natural language feedback directly into […]

Enantiopurity-Controlled Magnetism in a Two-Dimensional Organic-Inorganic Material

Kavli Affiliate: Kwabena Bediako| Summary:Extended solids that combine unpaired electron spin and structural chirality can host unconventional magnetic behaviors with potential for electronic technologies. A versatile strategy for creating chiral solids is incorporation of chiral organic molecules into inorganic crystals. However, such hybrid organic-inorganic materials have so far been examined through the lens of absolute […]

On Generalised Discrete Torsion

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | Summary:For a 2d gauged sigma model with target space $M$ and discrete gauge group $G$, we consider a generalisation of Vafa’s discrete torsion $H^2(BG; U(1))$ that assigns different local discrete torsion phases to different singular loci of the orbifold $M/G$. Our generalised discrete torsion lives in $H^2_G(M; U(1))$, and gives […]

The radial component of the local Galactic magnetic field in 3D

Kavli Affiliate: Susan Clark | Summary:We present a distance-resolved reconstruction of the local line-of-sight Galactic magnetic field, $B_$, by combining a 3D electron density ($n_e$) map derived from dust map-informed simulations and a full-sky map of Faraday rotation measure (RM). The forward model evaluates RM on the same 3D grid as the $n_e$ map and […]

Revealing buried ferroelectric topologies by depth-resolved electron diffraction imaging

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | Summary:Nanoscale topological polar textures promise new functionalities for ferroelectric memories and logic, yet their three-dimensional structure and mesoscale organization remain experimentally inaccessible. Here we introduce depth-resolved electron diffraction imaging (DREDI), a fast, non-destructive, method that maps polarization with <50 nm lateral and <10 nm depth sensitivity within fraction of a […]

X-ray variability of SDSS J000532.84+200717.4: from a normal state to an X-weak state

Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu| Summary: We present a multi-epoch study of the extreme X-ray variability of the type~1 quasar SDSS~J000532.84+200717.4 using archival observations from textitXMM-Newton, textitSwift/XRT, textitEP-FXT, and textitROSAT, together with new optical spectroscopy and multi-wavelength photometry. The 0.2–10~keV X-ray flux exhibits a transition from a high state to a subsequent low state, declining by […]
