RLO-MPC: Robust Learning-Based Output Feedback MPC for Improving the Performance of Uncertain Systems in Iterative Tasks
In this work we address the problem of performing a repetitive task when we have uncertain observations and dynamics. We formulate this problem as an iterative infinite horizon optimal control problem with output feedback. Previously, this problem was solved for linear time-invariant (LTI) system for the case when nois...

Implementation of Rule Based Algorithm for Sandhi-Vicheda Of Compound Hindi Words
Sandhi means to join two or more words to coin new word. Sandhi literally means `putting together' or combining (of sounds), It denotes all combinatory sound-changes effected (spontaneously) for ease of pronunciation. Sandhi-vicheda describes [5] the process by which one letter (whether single or cojoined) is broken to...

On the True Distribution Approximation of Minimum Bayes-Risk Decoding

Therefore, sampling is one of the key elements of MBR decoding, and previous studies reported...

In this work, we introduce a fresh perspective to revi...

Scalable Verification of Strategy Logic through Three-valued Abstraction

On this logic several fragments have been defined to tackle this issue but at the expense of expressiveness. In this paper, we propose a three-valued semantics for Strategy Logic upon which we define ...

Normality is a weak notion of randomness requiring only that all $2^n$ factors (substrings) of arbitrary length~$n$ appear with the same limit frequency $2^{-n}$. Later many stronger definiti...
