Policy-based reinforcement learning (RL) approaches have produced promising results for autonomous cyber defense; however, they are sample-inefficient in settings where defenders must respond under delayed, partial observations with actions from large action spaces. While large language models (LLMs) may reason semanti …

Fully decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), also referred to as independent learning, requires each agent to learn and act using only its local information and experience, without a centralized critic or inter-agent communication. Such a stringent information structure renders the conventional reward …

Goal-directed molecular design has advanced rapidly, yet a substantial proportion of designed molecules remain difficult to synthesize in practice, limiting their real-world utility. Prior synthesizability-aware methods either project generated molecules back to synthesizable analogs that deviate from the intended targ …

Scalable driving simulators typically execute vehicle commands using prescribed behavioral or kinematic rules, overlooking the physics of tire-road interfaces, thereby limiting their ability to capture how adverse road and environmental conditions alter vehicle execution and propagate through traffic. To address this l …

Road geometry (e.g., crests, sags, and speed humps) and surface conditions (e.g., wet or icy pavement) affect how vehicles move, what drivers and onboard cameras observe, and how much clearance remains between vehicles. Editing these properties in a driving scene therefore requires corresponding changes in vehicle moti …

Manual dense annotation remains a major obstacle to deploying semantic segmentation models in new driving environments. Active domain adaptation (ADA) seeks label-efficient transfer by annotating only a selected portion of the target domain. Existing ADA methods commonly implement this process through multiple rounds o …

Accurate classification of anterior segment diseases is crucial for ophthalmic screening and diagnosis. However, slit-lamp image analysis remains challenging due to substantial variability in imaging conditions and the intrinsic anatomical-disease hierarchy of ocular pathologies. Existing methods typically formulate th …
