In this tutorial, we implement an advanced Bayesian hyperparameter optimization workflow using Hyperopt and the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) algorithm. We construct a conditional search ...

Abstract: Input uncertainty in the simulation output is caused by the estimation error in the input models of the simulator due to finiteness of the data from which ...

We look into the mental health crisis affecting American youth. By Sam Sifton I am the host of The Morning. The numbers are staggering. Nearly one in four 17-year-old boys in the United States has ...

In this talk, I will give a high-level tutorial on graphs of convex sets, with emphasis on their applications in robotics, control, and, more broadly, decision making. Mathematically, a Graph of ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Consider someone who’s perfectly content with their office chair. It’s not ergonomic, it doesn’t have lumbar support, but it works. Then, during a meeting or a visit to a friend’s office, they sit in ...

You could say that Morgan Wallen has achieved his 2020s pop domination by brute force. His last two albums — 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album and 2023’s One Thing at a Time — clock in at 30 and 36 ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Abstract: Several interesting problems in multirobot systems can be cast in the framework of distributed optimization. Examples include multirobot task allocation, vehicle routing, target protection, ...
