FSL-SAGE: Accelerating Federated Split Learning via Smashed Activation Gradient Estimation

ICML 2025poster

Collaborative training methods like Federated Learning (FL) and Split Learning (SL) enable distributed machine learning without sharing raw data. However, FL assumes clients can train entire models, which is infeasible for large-scale models. In contrast, while SL alleviates the client memory const…

Mind2Web 2: Evaluating Agentic Search with Agent-as-a-Judge

NeurIPS 2025poster

Agentic search such as Deep Research systems-where agents autonomously browse the web, synthesize information, and return comprehensive citation-backed answers-represents a major shift in how users interact with web-scale information. While promising greater efficiency and cognitive offloading, the…

Tactile-Informed Action Primitives Mitigate Jamming in Dense Clutter

ICRA 2024poster

It is difficult for robots to retrieve objects in densely cluttered lateral access scenes with movable objects as jamming against adjacent objects and walls can inhibit progress. We propose the use of two action primitives— burrowing and excavating—that can fluidize the scene to unjam obstacles and…
