Inverse design has made vast physical parameter spaces a substrate for emergent behavior. In sensing, the stakes of this principle are sharpest at the analog-to-digital boundary, where any information the hardware fails to capture is…
Weighted finite-state machines are a fundamental building block of NLP systems. They have withstood the test of time -- from their early use in noisy channel models in the 1990s up to modern-day neurally parameterized conditional random…
Oversampled adaptive sensing (OAS) is a recently proposed Bayesian framework which sequentially adapts the sensing basis. In OAS, estimation quality is, in each step, measured by conditional mean squared errors (MSEs), and the basis for the…

Neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence (AI) systems typically couple a neural perception module to a discrete symbolic solver through a non-differentiable boundary, preventing constraint-satisfaction feedback from reaching the perception…
To increase the predictive power of a model, one needs to estimate its unknown parameters. Almost all parameter estimation techniques in ordinary differential equation models suffer from either a small convergence region or enormous…

Numerical heating in particle-in-cell (PIC) codes currently precludes the accurate simulation of cold, relativistic plasma over long periods, severely limiting their applications in astrophysical environments. We present a spatially…

Shapley effects are attracting increasing attention as sensitivity measures. When the value function is the conditional variance, they account for the individual and higher order effects of a model input. They are also well defined under…
Simulations of pulverised coal combustion rely on various models, required in order to correctly approximate the flow, chemical reactions, and behavior of solid particles. These models, in turn, rely on multiple model parameters, which are…
