In this work, we explore an object-based programming model for filling the space between shared memory and distributed systems programming. We argue that the natural representation for resources distributed across a memory network (e.g.…

We introduce Language-Informed Latent Actions (LILA), a framework for learning natural language interfaces in the context of human-robot collaboration. LILA falls under the shared autonomy paradigm: in addition to providing discrete…

Generating hand grasps with language instructions is a widely studied topic that benefits from embodied AI and VR/AR applications. While transferring into hand articulatied object interaction (HAOI), the hand grasps synthesis requires not…

Actions may not proceed as planned; they may be interrupted, resumed or overridden. This is a challenge to handle in a natural language understanding system. We describe extensions to an existing implementation for the control of autonomous…

Unsourced random access (URA) is a recently proposed communication paradigm attuned to machine-driven data transfers. In the original URA formulation, all the active devices share the same number of bits per packet. The scenario where…

The widespread adoption of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) in future practical wireless systems is critically dependent on the integration of the RIS into higher-layer protocols beyond the physical (PHY) one, an issue that has…

For fifth-generation (5G) and 5G-Advanced networks, outage reduction within the context of reliability is a key objective since outage denotes the time period when a user equipment (UE) cannot communicate with the network. Earlier studies…

As the domain of cyber-physical systems continues to grow, an increasing number of tightly-coupled distributed applications will be implemented on top of wireless networking technologies. Some of these applications, including collaborative…

Recently, various distributed strategies for large language model training have been proposed. However, these methods provided limited solutions for the trade-off between memory consumption and communication cost. In this paper, we rethink…

Modular programming is a cornerstone in software development, as it allows to build complex systems from the assembly of simpler components, and support reusability and substitution principles. In a distributed setting, component assembly…

Cooperative techniques have been shown to significantly improve the performance of wireless systems. Despite being a mature technology in single communication link scenarios, their implementation in wider, and practical, networks poses…

We propose a diarization system, that estimates "who spoke when" based on spatial information, to be used as a front-end of a meeting transcription system running on the signals gathered from an acoustic sensor network (ASN). Although the…

Policies are designed to distinguish between correct and incorrect actions; they are types. But badly typed actions may cause not compile errors, but financial and reputational harm We demonstrate how even the most complex ABAC policies can…

As AI agents take on increasingly long-running tasks involving sophisticated planning and execution, there is a corresponding need for novel interaction designs that enable deeper human-agent collaboration. However, most prior works…

This paper describes an architecture for robots that combines the complementary strengths of probabilistic graphical models and declarative programming to represent and reason with logic-based and probabilistic descriptions of uncertainty…

We redefine the transition function of elementary cellular automata (ECA) in terms of discrete operators. The operator representation provides a clear hint about the way systems behave both at the local and the global scale. We show that…

While current emotional support dialogue systems typically rely on expert-defined scalar rewards for alignment, these signals suffer from severe information sparsity. They cannot explain why a response failed or how to adapt to dynamic user…

To communicate with new partners in new contexts, humans rapidly form new linguistic conventions. Recent neural language models are able to comprehend and produce the existing conventions present in their training data, but are not able to…

Hello is a general-purpose, object-oriented, protocol-agnostic distributed programming language. This paper explains the ideas that guided design of Hello. It shows the spirit of Hello using two brief expressive programs and provides a…

Choreographic Programming (CP) is a language paradigm whereby software artefacts, called choreographies, specify the behaviour of communicating participants. CP is famous for its correctness-by-construction approach to the development of…
