Survey researchers are increasingly turning to multimode data collection to deal with declines in survey response rates and increasing costs. An efficient approach offers the less costly modes (e.g., web) followed with a more expensive mode for a subsample of the units (e.g., households) within each primary sampling un...

For service robots to become general-purpose in everyday household environments, they need not only a large library of primitive skills, but also the ability to quickly learn novel tasks specified by users. Fine-tuning neural networks on a variety of downstream tasks has been successful in many vision and language doma...

Nighttime semantic segmentation plays a crucial role in practical applications, such as autonomous driving, where it frequently encounters difficulties caused by inadequate illumination conditions and the absence of well-annotated datasets. Moreover, semantic segmentation models trained on daytime datasets often face d...

Efficient traffic signal control (TSC) has been one of the most useful ways for reducing urban road congestion. Key to the challenge of TSC includes 1) the essential of real-time signal decision, 2) the complexity in traffic dynamics, and 3) the network-level coordination. Recent efforts that applied reinforcement lear...

The Joint Automated Repository for Various Integrated Simulations (JARVIS) infrastructure at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a large-scale collection of curated datasets and tools with more than 80000 materials and millions of properties. JARVIS uses a combination of electronic structure, a...

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) plays a critical role in wireless communications by autonomously classifying signals transmitted over the radio spectrum. Deep learning (DL) techniques are increasingly being used for AMC due to their ability to extract complex wireless signal features. However, DL models are c...

Multi-principal element alloys open large composition spaces for alloy development. The large compositional space necessitates rapid synthesis and characterization to identify promising materials, as well as predictive strategies for alloy design. Additive manufacturing via directed energy deposition is demonstrated as...

Vision-language models like CLIP are widely used in zero-shot image classification due to their ability to understand various visual concepts and natural language descriptions. However, how to fully leverage CLIP's unprecedented human-like understanding capabilities to achieve better performance is still an open questi...
