Inspired by infant development, we propose a Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework for autonomous self-exploration in a robotic agent, Baby Sophia, using the BabyBench simulation environment. The agent learns self-touch and hand regard behaviors thro...
May 9, 2025 · Alzheimer's disease can last more than a decade. See what types of behaviors are common in each of the stages as the disease progresses.
Socially assistive robots (SARs) are becoming more prevalent in everyday life, emphasizing the need to make them socially acceptable and aligned with users' expectations. Robots' appearance impacts users' behaviors and attitudes towards them. Therefo...
We propose two SIR models which incorporate sociological behavior of groups of individuals. It is these differences in behaviors which impose different infection rates on the individual susceptible populations, rather than biological differences. We...
Behavior Trees (BTs) got the robotics society attention not least thanks to their modularity and reusability. The subtrees of BTs could be treated as separate behaviors and therefore reused. We address the following research question: do we exploit t...
Behavior informatics (BI) is the informatics of behaviors so as to obtain behavior intelligence and behavior insights. BI is a research method combining
I teach AP English classes at well-funded albeit HUGE public high school (4k students) in an affluent suburb. Students seem so disconnected the last couple of years, like they’re just never mentall...
Magnetic emergent crystals are periodic alignment of "particle-like" spin textures that emerge in magnets. Instead of focusing on an individual spin or a macroscopic magnetization field, we analyze the dynamical behaviors of these novel states by tak...
Modeling user sequential behaviors has recently attracted increasing attention in the recommendation domain. Existing methods mostly assume coherent preference in the same sequence. However, user personalities are volatile and easily changed, and the...
Predicting users' preferences based on their sequential behaviors in history is challenging and crucial for modern recommender systems. Most existing sequential recommendation algorithms focus on transitional structure among the sequential actions, b...
Two unique behaviors of superelasticity and shape memory effect have made shape memory alloy such as NiTi, an interesting alloy for different applications. Recently, additive manufacturing (AM) as a powerful tool for fabricating NiTi has become of in...
Diagrammatic models of feeding choices reveal fundamental robotic behaviors. Successful choices are reinforced by positive feedback, while unsuccessful ones by negative feedback. This paper will address robotic feeding by casually relating consequent...
As autonomous robots move into complex, dynamic real-world environments, they must learn to navigate safely in real time, yet anticipating all possible behaviors is infeasible. We propose a composable, model-free reinforcement learning method that le...
Understanding the internal computations of large language models (LLMs) is crucial for aligning them with human values and preventing undesirable behaviors like toxic content generation. However, mechanistic interpretability is hindered by polysemant...
Even the most robust autonomous behaviors can fail. The goal of this research is to both recover and collect data from failures, during autonomous task execution, so they can be prevented in the future. We propose haptic intervention for real-time fa...
Corporate digital responsibility (CDR) refers to a German and French framework of practices, policies, and behaviors through which organizations responsibly
It’s around 15 “behaviors” that Walmart thinks all employees should exhibit such as: “Does the associate follow the 10 Foot Rule?”, “Do they complete all tasks given by you?” and “Do t...
Delegate methods in Ruby and preserve self. Add behaviors to your objects without altering their superclass hierarchy. (⭐ 360)
Adopted child syndrome is a term that has been used to explain behaviors in adopted children that are claimed to be related to their adoptive status.
As the cover of embryos and adult organisms, epithelial tissues are subjected to substantial mechanical forces in tissue morphogenesis. However, the finite deformation behaviors of epithelial tissues remain largely unexplored. This study combines dis...
