Title: Learning Neural Parsers with Deterministic Differentiable Imitation Learning, Abstract: We explore the problem of learning to decompose spatial tasks into segments, as exemplified by the problem of a painting robot covering a large object. Inspired by the ability of classical decision tree algorithms to construc...

Title: Road Detection Technique Using Filters with Application to Autonomous Driving System, Abstract: Autonomous driving systems are broadly used equipment in the industries and in our daily lives, they assist in production, but are majorly used for exploration in dangerous or unfamiliar locations. Thus, for a success...

Title: Outward Influence and Cascade Size Estimation in Billion-scale Networks, Abstract: Estimating cascade size and nodes' influence is a fundamental task in social, technological, and biological networks. Yet this task is extremely challenging due to the sheer size and the structural heterogeneity of networks. We in...
