Despite the fast progress in neural operator learning, long-sequence modeling still is a standing challenge whereby latent states have been introduced with techniques well derived. Diverging from existing methods that treat latent states as transient variables or decoupled representations, CoEvol-NO…
Differential equations are essential and popular in science and engineering. Learning-based methods including neural operators, have emerged as a promising paradigm. We explore its quantum counterpart, and propose QuanONet -- a quantum neural operator which has not been well studied in literature co…
Inductive reasoning is a core problem-solving capacity: humans can identify underlying principles from a few examples, which can then be robustly generalized to novel scenarios. Recent work has evaluated large language models (LLMs) on inductive reasoning tasks by directly prompting them yielding "i…
Extrinsic manipulation, the use of environment contacts to achieve manipulation objectives, enables strategies that are otherwise impossible with a parallel jaw gripper. However, orchestrating a long-horizon sequence of contact interactions between the robot, object, and environment is notoriously c
With the arrival of the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) have emerged to obtain possible quantum advantage. In particular, how to effectively incorporate hard constraints in VQAs remains a critical and open question. In this paper, we manage to combi…
Human-designed visual manuals are crucial components in shape assembly activities. They provide step-by-step guidance on how we should move and connect different parts in a convenient and physically-realizable way. While there has been an ongoing effort in building agents that perform assembly tasks…
"We study the problem of translating an image-based, step-by-step assembly manual created by human designers into machine-interpretable instructions. We formulate this problem as a sequential prediction task: at each step, our model reads the manual, locates the components to be added to the current…
