Achieving optimal design is a crucial aspect of any design process for safe and efficient operation. Such tasks typically require numerous simulations over many iterations, which can become computationally expensive. This paper proposes a novel method that combines Physics-informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with a Genetic Algorithm to optimize the parameters of an airfoil that aims to achieve favourable aerodynamic conditions. Traditional solvers are computationally expensive for performing such tasks, but using PINNs can significantly reduce this while keeping accuracy high. The proposed approach shows the advantage of using PINNs in optimizing complex engineering problems.

Quantitative requirements play an important role in the context of multi-agent systems, where there is often a trade-off between the tasks of individual agents and the constraints that the agents must jointly adhere to. 
    We study multi-agent systems whose requirements are formally specified in the quantitative temporal logic LTL[$\mathcal{F}$] as a combination of local task specifications for the individual agents and a shared safety constraint, 
    The intricate dependencies between the individual agents entailed by their local and shared objectives make the design of multi-agent systems error-prone, and their verification time-consuming.
    In this paper we address this problem by proposing a novel notion of quantitative assume-guarantee contracts, that enables the compositional design and verification of multi-agent systems with quantitative temporal specifications.
    The crux of these contracts lies in their ability to capture the coordination between the individual agents to achieve an optimal value of the overall specification under any possible behavior of the external environment.
 We show that the proposed  framework improves the scalability and modularity of formal verification of multi-agent systems against quantitative temporal specifications.

Machine unlearning is becoming increasingly important as deep models become more prevalent, particularly when there are frequent requests to remove the influence of specific training data due to privacy concerns or erroneous sensing signals. Spatial-temporal Graph Neural Networks, in particular, have been widely adopted in real-world applications that demand efficient unlearning, yet research in this area remains in its early stages. In this paper, we introduce STEPS, a framework specifically designed to address the challenges of spatio-temporal graph unlearning. Our results demonstrate that STEPS not only ensures data continuity and integrity but also significantly reduces the time required for unlearning, while minimizing the accuracy loss in the new model compared to a model with 0% unlearning.

Probing classifiers are a technique for understanding and modifying the operation of neural networks in which a smaller classifier is trained to use the model's internal representation to learn a related probing task. Similar to a neural electrode array, training probing classifiers can help researchers both discern and edit the internal representation of a neural network. This paper presents an evaluation of the use of probing classifiers to modify the internal hidden state of a chess-playing transformer. 
We demonstrate that intervention vector scaling should follow a negative exponential according to the length of the input to ensure model outputs remain semantically valid after editing the residual stream activations.

In this paper, we present a new image similarity search algorithm designed to enhance traditional information retrieval(IR) by adding an image search capability. Our approach uses a quadtree data structure to organize image data, significantly reducing search space and improving retrieval efficiency. We describe an indexing strategy and two query algorithms that can be implemented in any IR system. We tested our method on a 70K material microscopy image dataset, achieving a 25 times improvement in retrieval speed with only a 20% reduction in ranking accuracy.

Conformal Prediction (CP) is an uncertainty quantification framework that provides prediction sets with a user-specified probability to include the true class in the prediction set. This guarantee on the user-specified probability is known as marginal coverage. Marginal coverage refers to the probability that the true label is included in the prediction set, averaged over all test samples. However, this can lead to inconsistent coverage across different classes, constraining its suitability for high-stakes applications such as pathological workflows. This study implements a Classwise CP method applied to two cancer datasets to achieve class-conditional coverage which ensures that each class has a user-specified probability of being included in the prediction set when it is the true label. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach through a significant reduction in the average class coverage gap compared to the Baseline CP method.

Ensuring Class-Conditional Coverage for Pathological Workflows (Student Abstract)

Diffusion Models (DMs) offer robust tools for addressing uncertainty and enhancing adaptability in robotics. This work explores their application to trajectory generation, 3D image synthesis, and interpretable scene understanding. For trajectory planning, we propose using colored Gaussian noise to improve robustness and temporal coherence. In 3D image generation, Transfer Entropy enhances information flow between textual and visual modalities for more coherent outputs. Partial Information Decomposition (PID) is leveraged to improve model interpretability and efficiency in scene generation. Rigorous evaluation will assess trajectory quality, robustness, and real-world transferability, aiming to advance autonomous decision-making and scene understanding in robotics.

The global expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has highlighted significant challenges in inclusivity and representation, particularly for underrepresented communities. Current AI systems often fail to accommodate diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, resulting in biases in name pronunciation, language preservation, and communication. This research proposes a framework for advancing inclusivity in AI through Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). The envisioned system could integrate with home assistants like Siri and Alexa, enabling real-time interactions in local languages while maintaining cultural relevance. Key proposed features include accurate pronunciation of names, conversational capabilities in underrepresented languages, and an interactive platform where users can learn their language, history, and cultural heritage. By leveraging transformer-based models and adaptive RL frameworks, this research aims to explore solutions that bridge the gap in AI inclusivity for low-resource languages and culturally diverse populations.
