Robotic grasping is a fundamental yet crucial component of robotic applications, as effective grasping often serves as the starting point for various tasks. With the rapid advancement of neural networks, data-driven approaches for robotic…
Symbiotic Autonomous Systems (SAS) are advanced intelligent and cognitive systems exhibiting autonomous collective intelligence enabled by coherent symbiosis of human-machine interactions in hybrid societies. Basic research in the emerging…
The concept of a random process has been recently extended to graph signals, whereby random graph processes are a class of multivariate stochastic processes whose coefficients are matrices with a \textit{graph-topological} structure. The…
Chatbots systems, despite their popularity in today's HCI and CSCW research, fall short for one of the two reasons: 1) many of the systems use a rule-based dialog flow, thus they can only respond to a limited number of pre-defined inputs…
The structural properties of naturally arising social graphs are extensively studied to understand their evolution. Prior approaches for modeling network dynamics typically rely on rule-based models, which lack realism and generalizability,…
Machine learning models that automate decision-making are increasingly being used in consequential areas such as loan approvals, pretrial bail approval, hiring, and many more. Unfortunately, most of these models are black-boxes, i.e., they…
The field of engineering is shaped by the tools and methods used to solve problems. Optimization is one such class of powerful, robust, and effective engineering tools proven over decades of use. Within just a few years, generative…
A promise of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is to provide cheap photorealistic data for training and validating AI models in autonomous driving. Despite their huge success, their performance on complex images featuring multiple…
AI-generated videos (AIGVs) have achieved unprecedented photorealism, posing severe threats to digital forensics. Existing AIGV detectors focus mainly on localized artifacts or short-term temporal inconsistencies, thus often fail to capture…
The traditional approach of hand-crafting priors (such as sparsity) for solving inverse problems is slowly being replaced by the use of richer learned priors (such as those modeled by generative adversarial networks, or GANs). In this work,…
Human activity encompasses a series of complex spatiotemporal processes that are difficult to model, but represents an essential component of human exposure assessment. A significant empirical data source like the American Time Use Survey…
We present GLAS: Global-to-Local Autonomy Synthesis, a provably-safe, automated distributed policy generation for multi-robot motion planning. Our approach combines the advantage of centralized planning of avoiding local minima with the…
Modern business environments demand continuous reconfiguration of cross-functional processes, yet most enterprise systems remain organized around siloed departments, rigid workflows, and hard-coded automation. Meanwhile, large language…
The Order Acceptance and Scheduling (OAS) problem describes a class of real-world problems such as in smart manufacturing and satellite scheduling. This problem consists of simultaneously selecting a subset of orders to be processed as well…
Attack Graph (AG) represents the best-suited solution to support cyber risk assessment for multi-step attacks on computer networks, although their generation suffers from poor scalability due to their combinatorial complexity. Current…
Automating garment assembly from sewing patterns remains a significant challenge due to the lack of standardized annotation protocols and the frequent absence of semantic cues. Existing methods often rely on panel labels or handcrafted…
When interacting with the world robots face a number of difficult questions, having to make decisions when given under-specified tasks where they need to make choices, often without clearly defined right and wrong answers. Humans, on the…
This research is focused on generating achievable counterfactual explanations. Given a negative outcome computed by a machine learning model or a decision system, the novel CoGS approach generates (i) a counterfactual solution that…
The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) problem is an extension of the classical optimal transport problem to settings where the source and target distributions reside in incomparable spaces, and for which a cost function that attributes the price of…
The development of large language models (LLMs), such as GPT, has enabled the construction of several socialbots, like ChatGPT, that are receiving a lot of attention for their ability to simulate a human conversation. However, the…
