Robot Crash Course: Learning Soft and Stylized Falling

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller| First 5 Authors: Pascal Strauch, Pascal Strauch, , , | Summary:Despite recent advances in robust locomotion, bipedal robots operating in the real world remain at risk of falling. While most research focuses on preventing such events, we instead concentrate on the phenomenon of falling itself. Specifically, we aim to reduce physical […]

Distillation Dynamics: Towards Understanding Feature-Based Distillation in Vision Transformers

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Huiyuan Tian, Huiyuan Tian, , , | Summary: While feature-based knowledge distillation has proven highly effective for compressing CNNs, these techniques unexpectedly fail when applied to Vision Transformers (ViTs), often performing worse than simple logit-based distillation. We provide the first comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon through a […]

Preparation and evaluation of alexandrite, forsterite, and topaz substrates for the epitaxial growth of rutile oxides

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom| First 5 Authors: Monique Kubovsky, Monique Kubovsky, , , | Summary:Metal-insulator transitions and superconductivity in rutile-structured oxides hold promise for advanced electronic applications, yet their thin film synthesis is severely hindered by limited substrate options. Here, we present three single- crystalline substrates, BeAl2O4, Mg2SiO4, and Al2SiO4(F,OH)2, prepared via optimized thermal and […]
