Expressivity of Shallow Neural Networks Over Finite Fields

Maksym Zubkov, Carol Wu, Shiwei Yang, Param Mody, Yifei Chen

We study the expressivity of shallow polynomial neural networks (PNNs) with monomial activation functions over finite fields. For a given architecture, we define a neuromanifold as the image of the map from all possible network weights into the product of polynomial rings. We qua…

Robust In-Hand Manipulation via Priors in Reinforcement Learning and Mechanical Design

Yifei Chen, Shihan Lu, Ed Colgate, Kevin Lynch

In-hand manipulation without external sensing is challenging due to uncertainties from finger-object contacts and disturbances by gravity. While reinforcement learning has shown promise in learning complex finger gaiting, existing approaches do not prioritize maintaining well-con…

Claim-Level Rubric Rewards for Video Caption Reinforcement Learning

Mingqi Gao, Hongyuan Dong, Yifei Chen, Zhisheng Zhong, Zheng Ruan, Wenjin Hou, et al.

In this paper, we introduce Claim-Level Rubric Rewards (CuRe), a structured reward framework designed to address the reward-design bottleneck in reinforcement learning for dense video captioning. Existing reward designs generally fall into two categories: holistic response-level…
