Designing high-performance optical lenses entails exploring a high-dimensional, tightly constrained space of surface curvatures, glass choices, element thicknesses, and spacings. In practice, standard optimizers (e.g., gradient-based local…
As a cornerstone in the Evolutionary Computation (EC) domain, Differential Evolution (DE) is known for its simplicity and effectiveness in handling challenging black-box optimization problems. While the advantages of DE are well-recognized,…
This work aims to develop a resource-efficient solution for obstacle-avoiding tracking control of a planar snake robot in a densely cluttered environment with obstacles. Particularly, Neuro-Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) has been…
Anomaly detection tools and methods present a key capability in modern cyberphysical and failure prediction systems. Despite the fast-paced development in deep learning architectures for anomaly detection, model optimization for a given…
Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise for equation discovery, yet their outputs are highly sensitive to prompt phrasing, a phenomenon we term instruction brittleness. Static prompts cannot adapt to the evolving state of a multi-step…
Effective training of deep neural networks suffers from two main issues. The first is that the parameter spaces of these models exhibit pathological curvature. Recent methods address this problem by using adaptive preconditioning for…
Many optimization problems suffer from noise, and nonlinearity check-based decomposition methods (e.g. Differential Grouping) will completely fail to detect the interactions between variables in multiplicative noisy environments, thus, it…
Longitudinal analysis in medical imaging is crucial to investigate the progressive changes in anatomical structures or disease progression over time. In recent years, a novel class of algorithms has emerged with the goal of learning disease…
Most of the real-world problems are multimodal in nature that consists of multiple optimum values. Multimodal optimization is defined as the process of finding multiple global and local optima (as opposed to a single solution) of a…
Motion perception is a critical capability determining a variety of aspects of insects' life, including avoiding predators, foraging and so forth. A good number of motion detectors have been identified in the insects' visual pathways.…
Collision avoidance systems play a vital role in reducing the number of vehicle accidents and saving human lives. This paper extends the previous work using evolutionary neural networks for reactive collision avoidance. We are proposing a…
Many species show avoidance reactions in response to looming object approaches. In locusts, the corresponding escape behavior correlates with the activity of the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) neuron. During an object approach, its…
Modern deep learning models for change detection (CD) often struggle to explicitly represent task-relevant semantic differences. This paper proposes the Latent Difference Guidance (LDGuid) framework that explicitly learns and injects…
To achieve high-levels of autonomy, modern robots require the ability to detect and recover from anomalies and failures with minimal human supervision. Multi-modal sensor signals could provide more information for such anomaly detection…
Lobula plate/lobula columnar, type 2 (LPLC2) visual projection neurons in the fly's visual system possess highly looming-selective properties, making them ideal for developing artificial collision detection systems. The four dendritic…
Next generation Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) must reliably avoid moving obstacles. Existing dynamic collision avoidance methods are effective where obstacle trajectories are linear or known, but such restrictions are not accurate to many…
Optimizing gait stability for legged robots is a difficult problem. Even on level surfaces, effectively traversing across different textures (e.g., carpet) rests on dynamically tuning parameters in multidimensional space. Inspired by…
We propose a novel Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) framework to address the problem of learning uncertainty-aware representations for graph-structured data. While Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (GNODEs) have shown…
Automated analysis of complex systems based on multiple readouts remains a challenge. Change point detection algorithms are aimed to locating abrupt changes in the time series behaviour of a process. In this paper, we present a novel change…
In the locust's lobula giant movement detector neural pathways, four categories of inhibition, i.e., global inhibition, self-inhibition, lateral inhibition, and feed-forward inhibition, have been functionally explored in the context of…
