MSR 20242024Data-driven program translation has been recently the focus of sev- eral lines of research. A common and robust strategy is supervised learning. However, there is typically a lack of parallel training data, i.e., pairs of code snippets in source and target language. While many data augmentation techniques exist in the domain of natural language processing, they cannot be easily adapted to tackle code translation

ICRA 20242024In this paper, we present a probabilistic and unconstrained model predictive control formulation for robot navigation under uncertainty. We present (1) a closed-form approximation of the probability of collision that naturally models the propagation of uncertainty over the planning horizon and is computationally cheap to evaluate, and (2) a collision-cost formulation which provably preserves forward invariance

AAAI 2024 Edge Intelligence Workshop2024In Video Question Answering, videos are often processed as a full-length frame sequence to ensure minimal information loss. Recent works have shown evidence that sparse video inputs are sufficient to maintain high performance. However, they usually discuss single frame selection. In our work, we extend the setting to various input lengths and other modalities, and characterize the task with different input

ICRA 20242024When a mobile robot autonomously explores an indoor space to produce a localization and navigation map, it is important to create both a stable pose graph and a high-quality occupancy map that covers all the navigable areas. In this work, we propose a novel probabilistic active loop closure framework which attempts to maximally reduce pose graph uncertainty during exploration and improves occupancy map

2024The Segment Anything Model (SAM) stands as a foundational framework for image segmentation. While it exhibits remarkable zero-shot generalization in typical scenarios, its advantage diminishes when applied to specialized domains like medical imagery and remote sensing. To address this limitation, this paper introduces Conv-LoRA, a simple yet effective parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach. By integrating
