Large language models (LLMs) have made automated heuristic design (AHD) increasingly practical by generating executable heuristic code from task descriptions and evaluator feedback. Yet under a limited query and evaluation budget, search efficiency depends critically on a pre-gen…
This work introduces a unified formulation for vision models, where diverse forms of visual information beyond natural images, such as masks, depth maps, and other structured visual signals, are all represented as RGB images, while general visual tasks can be converted into a com…
Offline-trained surrogates for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) suffer a well-known failure mode that iterative optimizers drive inputs into out-of-distribution (OOD) regions where predictions become unreliable. Here we present Co4ICF, a co-evolving framework that couples a phys…
Learning effective robot control policies on physical hardware is challenging due to costly data collection and the difficulty of reward specification. Prior work has incorporated demonstrations into reinforcement learning (RL), yet existing approaches either require large number…
