We consider the problem of stabilizing an undisturbed, scalar, linear system over a "timing" channel, namely a channel where information is communicated through the timestamps of the transmitted symbols. Each symbol transmitted from a…
A novel method for control of dynamical systems, proposed in the paper, ensures an output signal belonging to the given set at any time. The method is based on a special change of coordinates such that the initial problem with given…

We study the independence structure of finitely exchangeable distributions over random vectors and random networks. In particular, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for an exchangeable vector so that its elements are completely…
Broadcast control is one of decentralized control methods for networked multi-agent systems. In this method, each agent does not communicate with the others, and autonomously determines its own action using only the same signal sent from a…
A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the controllability of Kronecker product networks, where the factor networks are general directed graphs. The condition explicitly illustrates how the controllability of the factor…

We present a multigrid approach that combats the quadratic growth of the number of parameters with respect to the number of channels in standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs). It has been shown that there is a redundancy in standard…
Conformal prediction has recently emerged as a promising strategy for quantifying the uncertainty of a predictive model; these algorithms modify the model to output sets of labels that are guaranteed to contain the true label with high…
We introduce a technique that can automatically tune the parameters of a rule-based computer vision system comprised of thresholds, combinational logic, and time constants. This lets us retain the flexibility and perspicacity of a…

In this paper, we study the target controllability problem of networked dynamical systems, in which we are tasked to steer a subset of network states towards a desired objective. More specifically, we derive necessary and sufficient…
The purpose of this note is to establish a connection between the problem of reliability (when there is an intermittent control-input channel failure that may occur between actuators, controllers and/or sensors in the system) and the notion…
This paper presents new results and reinterpretation of existing conditions for strong structural controllability in a structured network determined by the zero/non-zero patterns of edges. For diffusively-coupled networks with self-loops,…
The nonlinear filtering equation is said to be stable if it ``forgets'' the initial condition. It is known that the filter might be unstable even if the signal is an ergodic Markov chain. In general, the filtering stability requires…
We discuss the multilevel control problem for linear dynamical systems, consisting in designing a piece-wise constant control function taking values in a finite-dimensional set. In particular, we provide a complete characterization of…
Linear structural equation models are multivariate statistical models encoded by mixed graphs. In particular, the set of covariance matrices for distributions belonging to a linear structural equation model for a fixed mixed graph $G=(V,…
Universality is one of the key concepts in understanding critical phenomena. However, for interacting inhomogeneous systems described by complex networks a clear understanding of the relevant parameters for universality is still missing.…
Structural independence is the (conditional) independence that arises from the structure rather than the precise numerical values of a distribution. We develop this concept and relate it to $d$-separation and structural causal models.…
