Deep learning has proven highly effective for nonlinear system identification, but heavily parameterized neural networks are prone to overfitting in low-data regimes and lack reliable uncertainty quantification. The recently developed manifold meta-learning framework addresses the data efficiency problem by restricting the model parameters to a meta-learned low-dimensional manifold. However, that method is purely deterministic. We propose a fully probabilistic extension of the manifold meta-learning framework, based on amortized Variational Inference, where a generative prior over the low-dimensional parameter manifold is learned. During task-specific adaptation, we combine Maximum A Posteriori estimation with the Laplace approximation to yield a mathematically grounded posterior approximation. Evaluated on a static regression task and the Bouc--Wen dynamical system benchmark, the proposed approach achieves predictive accuracy comparable to its deterministic counterpart while successfully providing calibrated uncertainty bounds in severely low-data regimes.
Neuromorphic and edge computing research has focused on reducing the inference cost of neural network controllers, yet in physical closed-loop systems the actuator can rival or exceed an efficient controller in energy. An efficient controller is therefore necessary but not suffic…
We study timestep allocation for score-based diffusion sampling, where a learned reverse-time dynamics is discretized on a finite grid. Uniform and hand-crafted schedules are standard choices, but they rely on fixed prescriptions and can therefore be suboptimal. To address this l…
Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality, yet optimal treatment policies remain contested. Existing reinforcement learning (RL) approaches learn fixed strategies for sepsis treatment, limiting adaptability to changing clinical objectives during inference. We propose EHRMPC, a frame…
Process industries have accumulated validated specialist models, yet sensor drift, feedstock variation, and regime switching cause these models to degrade systematically in new scenarios. Collecting new labeled data and retraining is costly, while continuing with the original mod…
World Action Models (WAMs) enable semantically- and physically-informed control but are brittle under distribution shift. In this work, we use mechanistic interpretability to study how robustness-relevant perturbations are represented in WAM activation space. Comparing activation…
