We showcase how EASI (Experiment as a Service) cross-platform software supports quick integration and deployment of adaptive experiments as well as five systematic replications within a 30-day timeframe. The outline the key scenarios of the applicability of platform-supported experiments and reflect on lessons learned from this two-year project that can help researchers and practitioners to integrate adaptive experiments in real-world courses
DialEgg: Dialect-Agnostic MLIR Optimizer using Equality Saturation with Egglog.
Abd-El-Aziz Zayed
MLIR’s ability to optimize programs at multiple levels of abstraction is key to enabling domain-specific optimizing compilers. However, ex… (voir plus)pressing optimizations remains tedious. Optimizations can interact in unexpected ways, making it hard to unleash full performance. Equality saturation promises to solve these challenges. First, it simplifies the expression of optimizations using rewrite rules. Secondly, it considers all possible optimization interactions, through saturation, selecting the best program variant. Despite these advantages, equality saturation remains absent from production compilers such as MLIR. This paper proposes to integrate Egglog, a recent equality saturation engine, with MLIR, in a dialect-agnostic manner. This paper shows how the main MLIR constructs such as operations, types or attributes can be modeled in Egglog. It also presents DialEgg, a tool that pre-defines a large set of common MLIR constructs in Egglog and automatically translates between the MLIR and Egglog program representations. Using a few use-cases, this paper demonstrates the potential for combining equality saturation and MLIR.

The widespread adoption of deep learning to build models that capture the dynamics of neural populations is typically based on “black-box… (voir plus) approaches that lack an interpretable link between neural activity and network parameters. Here, we propose to apply algorithm unrolling, a method for interpretable deep learning, to design the architecture of sparse deconvolutional neural networks and obtain a direct interpretation of network weights in relation to stimulus-driven single-neuron activity through a generative model. We characterize our method, referred to as deconvolutional unrolled neural learning (DUNL), and show its versatility by applying it to deconvolve single-trial local signals across multiple brain areas and recording modalities. To exemplify use cases of our decomposition method, we uncover multiplexed salience and reward prediction error signals from midbrain dopamine neurons in an unbiased manner, perform simultaneous event detection and characterization in somatosensory thalamus recordings, and characterize the heterogeneity of neural responses in the piriform cortex and in the striatum during unstructured, naturalistic experiments. Our work leverages the advances in interpretable deep learning to gain a mechanistic understanding of neural activity.

A Multi-Robot Exploration Planner for Space Applications
Vivek Shankar Vardharajan
We propose a distributed multi-robot exploration planning method designed for complex, unconstrained environments featuring steep elevation … (voir plus)changes. The method employs a two-tiered approach: a local exploration planner that constructs a grid graph to maximize exploration gain and a global planner that maintains a sparse navigational graph to track visited locations and frontier information. The global graphs are periodically synchronized among robots within communication range to maintain an updated representation of the environment. Our approach integrates localization loop closure estimates to correct global graph drift. In simulation and field tests, the proposed method achieves 50% lower computational runtime compared to state-of-the-art methods while demonstrating superior exploration coverage. We evaluate its performance in two simulated subterranean environments and in field experiments at a Mars-analog terrain.
