Signal features derived from photoplethysmography (PPG) require different signal durations to characterize. Existing PPG foundation models treat duration as a pretraining or evaluation condition rather than using the different durations required by PPG features to organize self-supervision. We hypothesize that self-sup …
Learning energy-efficient humanoid locomotion requires discovering mechanically economical gait coordination, not merely reducing actuator effort. Reinforcement learning promotes efficiency through effort-related reward penalties, which guide the step-to-step mechanics of walking only indirectly. This article proposes …
Action-conditioned video world models predict future robot interactions from multiple cameras, yet their outputs remain disparate video collections rather than a shared metric scene queryable across viewpoints and time. While existing 4D reconstruction methods offer a path to spatialize these predictions, independently …
Semantic knowledge is increasingly used to bridge heterogeneous schemas in tabular learning, but how much does that knowledge actually improve prediction? Studies in tabular learning commonly answer this question through semantic ablations that modify or suppress the supplied semantic knowledge. We show that these abla …
Personalizing exoskeleton assistance across operating conditions is constrained by the time and physical effort required to collect user feedback. We examined whether a user's preference landscape varies smoothly across operating conditions and when this continuity supports learning from limited feedback. We propose Co …
