Quadrotor Morpho-Transition: Learning vs Model-Based Control Strategies

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Ioannis Mandralis, Richard M. Murray, Morteza Gharib, , | Summary: Quadrotor Morpho-Transition, or the act of transitioning from air to ground through mid-air transformation, involves complex aerodynamic interactions and a need to operate near actuator saturation, complicating controller design. In recent work, morpho-transition has been studied from […]

Generalized Gaussian Entropy Model for Point Cloud Attribute Compression with Dynamic Likelihood Intervals

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Changhao Peng, Yuqi Ye, Wei Gao, , | Summary: Gaussian and Laplacian entropy models are proved effective in learned point cloud attribute compression, as they assist in arithmetic coding of latents. However, we demonstrate through experiments that there is still unutilized information in entropy parameters estimated by […]

Cavity-mediated cross-cross-resonance gate

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Alexey V. Gorshkov, Daniel Cohen, Arbel Haim, Amit Rotem, Or Golan | Summary: We propose a cavity-mediated gate between two transmon qubits or other nonlinear superconducting elements. The gate is realized by driving both qubits at a frequency that is near-resonant with the frequency of the cavity. […]

CausalAbstain: Enhancing Multilingual LLMs with Causal Reasoning for Trustworthy Abstention

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuxi Sun, Aoqi Zuo, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, | Summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) often exhibit knowledge disparities across languages. Encouraging LLMs to textit{abstain} when faced with knowledge gaps is a promising strategy to reduce hallucinations in multilingual settings. Current abstention strategies for multilingual scenarios primarily rely […]
