arXiv:2602.20377v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated floor plan generation aims to create residential layouts by arranging rooms within a given boundary, balancing topological, geometric, and aesthetic considerations. The existing methods typically use a multi-step pipeline with intermediate representations to decompose the prediction process into several sub-tasks, limiting model flexibility and imposing predefined solution paths. This often results in unreasonable outputs when applied to data unsuitable for these predefined paths, making it challenging for these methods to match human […]

arXiv:2602.20376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We approach the Max-3-Cut problem through the lens of maximizing complex-valued quadratic forms and demonstrate that low-rank structure in the objective matrix can be exploited, leading to alternative algorithms to classical semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations and heuristic techniques. We propose an algorithm for maximizing these quadratic forms over a domain of size $K$ that enumerates and evaluates a set of $Oleft(n^{2r-1}right)$ candidate solutions, where $n$ is the dimension of the matrix and $r$ […]

arXiv:2602.20375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning agile humanoid behaviors from human motion offers a powerful route to natural, coordinated control, but existing approaches face a persistent trade-off: reference-tracking policies are often brittle outside the demonstration dataset, while purely task-driven Reinforcement Learning (RL) can achieve adaptability at the cost of motion quality. We introduce a unified multi-task RL framework that bridges this gap by treating reference motion as a prior for behavioral shaping rather than a deployment-time constraint. A […]

arXiv:2602.20372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent research argues that exact recursive numeral systems optimize communicative efficiency by balancing a tradeoff between the size of the numeral lexicon and the average morphosyntactic complexity (roughly length in morphemes) of numeral terms. We argue that previous studies have not characterized the data in a fashion that accounts for the degree of complexity languages display. Using data from 52 genetically diverse languages and an annotation scheme distinguishing between predictable and unpredictable allomorphy […]

arXiv:2602.20370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The universal approximation theorem establishes that neural networks can approximate any continuous function on a compact set. Later works in approximation theory provide quantitative approximation rates for ReLU networks on the class of $alpha$-H”older functions $f: [0,1]^N to mathbb{R}$. The goal of this paper is to provide similar quantitative approximation results in the context of group equivariant learning, where the learned $alpha$-H”older function is known to obey certain group symmetries. While there has […]

arXiv:2602.20366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In recent work, it has been shown that maintaining reliability in analog vector–matrix multipliers can be modeled as the following coding problem. Vectors in $mathbb{R}^k$ are encoded into codewords of a linear $[n,k,d]$ code $C$ over $mathbb{R}$. For prescribed positive reals $delta < Delta$, additive errors of magnitude at most $delta$ are tolerable and need no handling, yet outlying errors of magnitude greater than $Delta$ are to be located or detected. The trade-off […]

arXiv:2602.20363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The aesthetic quality of a scene depends strongly on camera viewpoint. Existing approaches for aesthetic viewpoint suggestion are either single-view adjustments, predicting limited camera adjustments from a single image without understanding scene geometry, or 3D exploration approaches, which rely on dense captures or prebuilt 3D environments coupled with costly reinforcement learning (RL) searches. In this work, we introduce the notion of 3D aesthetic field that enables geometry-grounded aesthetic reasoning in 3D with sparse […]

arXiv:2602.20362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While robotics research continues to propose strategies for collision avoidance in human-robot interaction, the reality of constrained environments and future humanoid systems makes contact inevitable. To mitigate injury risks, energy-constraining control approaches are commonly used, often relying on safety thresholds derived from blunt impact data in EN ISO 10218-2:2025. However, this dataset does not extend to edged or pointed collisions. Without scalable, clinically grounded datasets covering diverse contact scenarios, safety validation remains limited. […]

arXiv:2602.20361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been increasingly explored for receiver design because they can handle complex environments without relying on explicit channel models. Nevertheless, because communication channels change rapidly, their distributions can shift over time, often making periodic retraining necessary. This paper proposes a zero-overhead online and continual learning framework for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) neural receivers that directly detect the soft bits of received signals. Unlike conventional fine-tuning methods that rely on […]

arXiv:2602.20360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow-based generative models have become a strong framework for high-quality generative modeling, yet pretrained models are rarely used in their vanilla conditional form: conditional samples without guidance often appear diffuse and lack fine-grained detail due to the smoothing effects of neural networks. Existing guidance techniques such as classifier-free guidance (CFG) improve fidelity but double the inference cost and typically reduce sample diversity. We introduce Momentum Guidance (MG), a new dimension of guidance that […]
