Neural network-based predictive modeling with high-dimensional structured Gaussian targets requires an efficient and numerically stable, yet expressive approximation of the covariance matrix. We propose SCORE: a scalable framework, combining scoring rule training with an expressive covariance approximation learned in s …

Post-training quantization (PTQ) methods in the GPTQ family minimize a layer-wise reconstruction error on a uniform grid whose scale must be chosen; the common max-based choice degrades sharply at low bit-widths. We study how sensitive this objective is to the scale. For a layer with i.i.d. Gaussian weights and calibra …

Tactile information is essential for contact-rich manipulation tasks in robotics. Vision-based tactile sensors make it particularly easy to design end-to-end manipulation policies with tactile sensing, as they enable the use of existing encoders from computer vision. However, this has led to a huge variety of architect …
