Excited to announce the Neurocomputation & Dynamics workshop at #CDC2025 in Rio! Join us on Dec 9 for a full day of brain-inspired computation, neural dynamics, and control theory. Students & postdocs—submit abstracts for Lightning Talk session by Oct 31: cnd.northwestern.edu/neurocomputati…
🎉 Exciting news from @RiceMECH! We're thrilled to welcome Alexander (Sasha) Davydov (Assistant Professor) - specializing in reliable control of complex systems, ML architectures & multi-agent robotics Welcome to the Rice family!🦉 🔗 bit.ly/3ISVHpx
New lecture recordings on RL+LLM! 📺 This spring, I gave a lecture series titled **Reinforcement Learning of Large Language Models**. I have decided to re-record these lectures and share them on YouTube. (1/7)
Our work on contraction for time-varying convex optimization just appeared in IEEE TAC! We test the approach in numerical and hardware experiments including a robot collision avoidance task! With @GRusso_UniSa @AnandGokhale4 @Veronica_806 @FrancescoBullo doi.org/10.1109/TAC.20…
🎙️ New episode! Anders Rantzer (@lunduniversity) walks us through robust control, IQCs, the KYP lemma, nonlinear and hybrid systems, scalability and positivity, and dual (adaptive) control. A journey shaped by the dialogue between Western and Russian control traditions — don’t…
I'm excited to share new optimality conditions for nonlinear stochastic optimal control, and the first indirect shooting method for solving these problems! 📖 arxiv.org/abs/2502.06726 💡 How? Using rough path theory ⬇️
I'm happy to announce that I will start as an Assistant Professor at Rice University in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, @RiceMECH, in Fall 2025! If you are interested in problems at the intersection of control, learning, and optimization, shoot me a message!
So, given the recognition of RL by the Turing award, if you seriously want to study the nature of intelligence, please study the history of control and cybernetics. I have given a talk a few years ago about the relationship between Optimal Control and Reinforcement Learning, with…
I am super excited to announce the call for papers for the New Frontiers in Associative Memories workshop at ICLR 2025. New architectures and algorithms, memory-augmented LLMs, energy-based models, Hopfield networks, associative memory and diffusion, and many other exciting…
Optimal quantization solves a minimum Optimal Transport projection. Lloyd algorithm computes a stationary point of this non-convex energy (see work by Canas and Rosasco arxiv.org/pdf/1209.1077.…)
The submission website for #RSS2025 is now live! - Author information: roboticsconference.org/information/au… - Submission link: openreview.net/group?id=robot… We look forward to receiving your submissions!
In this work, we study maps that satisfy a sort of monotonicity property with respect to a non-Euclidean norm. We show that standard algorithms from monotone operator theory for finding zeros also work for finding zeros of these maps! Please check the paper for more details
