Autonomous Search for Sparsely Distributed Visual Phenomena through Environmental Context Modeling

ICRA 2026poster

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used to survey coral reefs, yet efficiently locating specific coral species of interest remains difficult: target species are often sparsely distributed across the reef, and an AUV with limited battery life cannot afford to search everywhere. Wh…

How Your Location Relates to Health: Variable Importance and Interpretable Machine Learning for Environmental and Sociodemographic Data

AAAI 2025technical

Health outcomes depend on complex environmental and sociodemographic factors whose effects change over location and time. Only recently has fine-grained spatial and temporal data become available to study these effects, namely the MEDSAT dataset of English health, environmental, and sociodemographic…

Putnam-AXIOM: A Functional & Static Benchmark for Measuring Higher Level Mathematical Reasoning in LLMs

ICML 2025poster

Current mathematical reasoning benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) are approaching saturation, with some achieving $>$ 90% accuracy, and are increasingly compromised by training-set contamination. We introduce Putnam-AXIOM, a benchmark of 522 university-level competition problems drawn from…

Learning-on-the-Drive: Self-supervised Adaptive Long-range Perception for High-speed Offroad Driving

IROS 2024poster

Autonomous offroad driving is essential for applications like emergency rescue, military operations, and agriculture. Despite progress, systems struggle with high-speed vehicles exceeding 10m/s due to the need for accurate long-range (> 50m) perception for safe navigation. Current approaches are lim…

Telling Left from Right: Identifying Geometry-Aware Semantic Correspondence

CVPR 2024poster

While pre-trained large-scale vision models have shown significant promise for semantic correspondence their features often struggle to grasp the geometry and orientation of instances. This paper identifies the importance of being geometry-aware for semantic correspondence and reveals a limitation o…
