arXiv:2603.26696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In extreme environments such as underwater exploration and post-disaster rescue, tethered robots require continuous navigation while avoiding cable entanglement. Traditional planners struggle in these lifelong planning scenarios due to topological unawareness, while topology-augmented graph-search methods face computational bottlenecks in obstacle-rich environments where the number of candidate topological classes increases. To address these challenges, we propose Topological Motion Planning Diffusion (TMPD), a novel generative planning framework that integrates lifelong topological memory. Instead of relying […]

arXiv:2503.12354v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional neural network regression models provide only point estimates, failing to capture predictive uncertainty. Probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) address this limitation by producing output distributions, enabling the construction of prediction intervals. However, the common assumption of Gaussian output distributions often results in overly wide intervals, particularly in the presence of outliers or deviations from normality. To enhance the adaptability of PNNs, we propose t-Distributed Neural Networks (TDistNNs), which generate t-distributed outputs, parameterized by […]

How ShareChat engineers rebuilt a low-latency ML feature store on ScyllaDB after an initial scalability failure — and what they learned along the way The demand for low-latency machine learning feature stores is higher than ever, but actually implementing one at scale remains a challenge. That became clear when ShareChat engineers Ivan Burmistrov and Andrei Manakov took the P99 CONF 23 stage to share how they built a low-latency ML feature store based on ScyllaDB. This isn’t a […]

arXiv:2509.11379v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We demonstrate that learning procedures that rely on aggregated labels, e.g., label information distilled from noisy responses, enjoy robustness properties impossible without data cleaning. This robustness appears in several ways. In the context of risk consistency — when one takes the standard approach in machine learning of minimizing a surrogate (typically convex) loss in place of a desired task loss (such as the zero-one mis-classification error) — procedures using label aggregation obtain stronger […]

arXiv:2602.18454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid growth of AI-driven mental health mobile apps has raised concerns about their ethical considerations and user trust. This study proposed a natural language processing (NLP)-based framework to evaluate ethical aspects from user-generated reviews from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. After gathering and cleaning the data, topic modeling was applied to identify latent themes in the context of ethics using topic words and then map them to well-recognized existing […]

Reinforcement Learning is increasingly applied to logistics, scheduling, and recommender systems, but standard algorithms struggle with the curse of dimensionality in such large discrete action spaces. Existing algorithms typically rely on restrictive grid-based structures or computationally expensive nearest-neighbor searches, limiting their effectiveness in high-dimensional or irregularly structured domains. We propose Distance-Guided Reinforcement Learning (DGRL), combining Sampled Dynamic Neighborhoods (SDN) and Distance-Based Updates (DBU) to enable efficient RL in spaces with up to 10$^text{20}$ actions. Unlike prior methods, SDN […]

arXiv:2603.22315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emergency vehicle (EV) response time is a critical determinant of survival outcomes, yet deployed signal preemption strategies remain reactive and uncontrollable. We propose a return-conditioned framework for emergency corridor optimization based on the Decision Transformer (DT). By casting corridor optimization as offline, return-conditioned sequence modeling, our approach (1) eliminates online environment interaction during policy learning, (2) enables dispatch-level urgency control through a single target-return scalar, and (3) extends to multi-agent settings via a […]

Introduction Disclaimer: This article is a cross post from Pytorch Medium Blog Post. One of the most exciting advancements, that has pushed the frontier of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years, is Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL belongs to the family of machine learning algorithms. It assumes that intelligent machines can learn from their actions similar to the way humans learn from experience. Over the recent years we could witness some impressive real-world applications of DRL. The […]
