This work tackles an intriguing and fundamental open challenge in representation learning: Given a well-trained deep learning model, can it be reprogrammed to enhance its robustness against adversarial or noisy input perturbations without…

Recent advances in Transformer architectures have empowered their empirical success in a variety of tasks across different domains. However, existing works mainly focus on predictive accuracy and computational cost, without considering…

A promising approach to preserving model performance in linearized transformers is to employ position-based re-weighting functions. However, state-of-the-art re-weighting functions rely heavily on target sequence lengths, making it…

We deduce stability results for finite control set and mixed-integer model predictive control with a downstream oversampling phase. The presentation rests upon the inherent robustness of model predictive control with stabilizing terminal…

We design a two-component controller to achieve reference tracking with output constraints - exemplified on systems of relative degree two. One component is a data-driven or learning-based predictive controller, which uses data samples to…

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is widely used across various industrial process control applications because of its straightforward implementation. However, it can be challenging to fine-tune the PID parameters in…

Leveraging the large generative prior of the flow transformer for tuning-free image editing requires authentic inversion to project the image into the model's domain and a flexible invariance control mechanism to preserve non-target…

As transformer-based language models are trained on increasingly large datasets and with vast numbers of parameters, finding more efficient alternatives to the standard Transformer has become very valuable. While many efficient Transformers…

We consider the optimal distributed controller design problem subject to two structural requirements: locality, i.e. available measurements and sub-controllers' interactions are governed by a graph structure, and relative feedback, i.e.…

In recent times, reinforcement learning has produced baffling results when it comes to performing control tasks with highly non-linear systems. The impressive results always outweigh the potential vulnerabilities or uncertainties associated…

In this paper, we address two minimal controllability problems, where the goal is to determine a minimal subset of state variables in a linear time-invariant system to be actuated to ensure controllability under additional constraints.…

Transformers are extremely successful machine learning models whose mathematical properties remain poorly understood. Here, we rigorously characterize the behavior of transformers with hardmax self-attention and normalization sublayers as…

The problem of robust distributed control arises in several large-scale systems, such as transportation networks and power grid systems. In many practical scenarios controllers might not have enough information to make globally optimal…

We present a set of model-free, reduced-dimensional reinforcement learning (RL) based optimal control designs for linear time-invariant singularly perturbed (SP) systems. We first present a state-feedback and output-feedback based RL…

Transformers have demonstrated effectiveness in in-context solving data-fitting problems from various (latent) models, as reported by Garg et al. However, the absence of an inherent iterative structure in the transformer architecture…

In this paper, we propose several rules to tune the gains for a class of passivity-based controllers for nonlinear mechanical systems. Such tuning rules prescribe a desired local transient response behavior to the closed-loop system. To…

The key idea behind PID Passivity-based Control (PID-PBC) is to leverage the passivity property of PIDs (for all positive gains) and wrap the PID controller around a passive output to ensure global stability in closed-loop. However, the…

This paper analyzes the motion of solutions to non-homogeneous linear differential equations. It further clarifies that a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller essentially comprises two parts: a homogeneous controller and a…

Proper modeling of inverter-based microgrids is crucial for accurate assessment of stability boundaries. It has been recently realized that the stability conditions for such microgrids are significantly different from those known for large-…

In real-world reinforcement learning (RL) scenarios, agents often encounter partial observability, where incomplete or noisy information obscures the true state of the environment. Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are…
