我们提出了一种估计具有标称分类数据的高维线性模型的方法。我们的估算器，称为范围，通过使其相应的系数完全相等来融合水平。这是通过对分类变量的系数的阶数统计之间的差异之间的差异来实现这一点，从而聚类系数。我们提供了一种算法，用于精确和有效地计算在具有潜在许多级别的单个变量的情况下的总体上的最小值的全局最小值，并且在多变量情况下在块坐标血管下降过程中使用它。我们表明，利用未知级别融合的Oracle最小二乘解决方案是具有高概率的坐标血缘的极限点，只要真正的级别具有一定的最小分离;已知这些条件在单变量案例中最小。我们展示了在一系列实际和模拟数据集中的范围的有利性能。 R包的R包Catreg实现线性模型的范围，也可以在CRAN上提供逻辑回归的版本。

许多复杂的车辆系统，例如大型船舶，都包含诸如水箱之类的狭窄空间，这对于车辆的安全功能至关重要。由于有限的可及性，可见性和非结构化配置，因此人类检查此类空间尤为危险。尽管机器人提供了可行的替代方案，但它们在实现强大的自主权方面遇到了相同的挑战。在这项工作中，我们专门解决了使用基于视觉映射的系统依赖于Mahalanobis距离距离驱动的比较，在标称和在线地图之间进行局部异常识别的比较，该问题检测出限制空间内留下的异物碎片（FOD）。模拟试验显示出极高的召回率，但对于异常识别方法而言，精度较低。因此，远程人类的帮助是通过浏览离群区域的特写机器人摄像头图像来解决精度问题。进行了在线调查，以显示此援助过程的有用性。还报告了启用GPU的移动机器人平台内的物理实验，以证明FOD检测系统的可行性。

Transfer learning increasingly becomes an important tool in handling data scarcity often encountered in machine learning. In the application of high-throughput thickness as a downstream process of the high-throughput optimization of optoelectronic thin films with autonomous workflows, data scarcity occurs especially for new materials. To achieve high-throughput thickness characterization, we propose a machine learning model called thicknessML that predicts thickness from UV-Vis spectrophotometry input and an overarching transfer learning workflow. We demonstrate the transfer learning workflow from generic source domain of generic band-gapped materials to specific target domain of perovskite materials, where the target domain data only come from limited number (18) of refractive indices from literature. The target domain can be easily extended to other material classes with a few literature data. Defining thickness prediction accuracy to be within-10% deviation, thicknessML achieves 92.2% (with a deviation of 3.6%) accuracy with transfer learning compared to 81.8% (with a deviation of 3.6%) 11.7% without (lower mean and larger standard deviation). Experimental validation on six deposited perovskite films also corroborates the efficacy of the proposed workflow by yielding a 10.5% mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

当前的量子点（QD）设备的自动传动方法在显示出一些成功的同时，缺乏对数据可靠性的评估。当自主系统处理嘈杂或低质量数据时，这会导致意外的失败。在这项工作中，我们为QD设备的强大自动调整提供了一个框架，该QD设备将机器学习（ML）状态分类器与数据质量控制模块结合在一起。数据质量控制模块充当“守门人”系统，确保只有国家分类器处理可靠的数据。较低的数据质量会导致设备重新校准或终止。为了训练两个ML系统，我们通过结合QD实验的典型合成噪声来增强QD仿真。我们确认，在状态分类器的训练中包含合成噪声可以显着提高性能，在测试实验数据时，准确性为95.0（9）％。然后，我们通过表明状态分类器的性能随着预期的数据质量而恶化，从而验证数据质量控制模块的功能。我们的结果为嘈杂的QD设备的自动调整建立了强大而灵活的ML框架。

The recent increase in public and academic interest in preserving biodiversity has led to the growth of the field of conservation technology. This field involves designing and constructing tools that utilize technology to aid in the conservation of wildlife. In this article, we will use case studies to demonstrate the importance of designing conservation tools with human-wildlife interaction in mind and provide a framework for creating successful tools. These case studies include a range of complexities, from simple cat collars to machine learning and game theory methodologies. Our goal is to introduce and inform current and future researchers in the field of conservation technology and provide references for educating the next generation of conservation technologists. Conservation technology not only has the potential to benefit biodiversity but also has broader impacts on fields such as sustainability and environmental protection. By using innovative technologies to address conservation challenges, we can find more effective and efficient solutions to protect and preserve our planet's resources.

We address the problem of extracting key steps from unlabeled procedural videos, motivated by the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) headsets to revolutionize job training and performance. We decompose the problem into two steps: representation learning and key steps extraction. We employ self-supervised representation learning via a training strategy that adapts off-the-shelf video features using a temporal module. Training implements self-supervised learning losses involving multiple cues such as appearance, motion and pose trajectories extracted from videos to learn generalizable representations. Our method extracts key steps via a tunable algorithm that clusters the representations extracted from procedural videos. We quantitatively evaluate our approach with key step localization and also demonstrate the effectiveness of the extracted representations on related downstream tasks like phase classification. Qualitative results demonstrate that the extracted key steps are meaningful to succinctly represent the procedural tasks.

While the capabilities of autonomous systems have been steadily improving in recent years, these systems still struggle to rapidly explore previously unknown environments without the aid of GPS-assisted navigation. The DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge aimed to fast track the development of autonomous exploration systems by evaluating their performance in real-world underground search-and-rescue scenarios. Subterranean environments present a plethora of challenges for robotic systems, such as limited communications, complex topology, visually-degraded sensing, and harsh terrain. The presented solution enables long-term autonomy with minimal human supervision by combining a powerful and independent single-agent autonomy stack, with higher level mission management operating over a flexible mesh network. The autonomy suite deployed on quadruped and wheeled robots was fully independent, freeing the human supervision to loosely supervise the mission and make high-impact strategic decisions. We also discuss lessons learned from fielding our system at the SubT Final Event, relating to vehicle versatility, system adaptability, and re-configurable communications.
