Learning Fine-Grained Bimanual Manipulation with Low-Cost Hardware [PDF]
Robotics: Science and Systems, 2023 Fine manipulation tasks, such as threading cable ties or slotting a battery, are notoriously difficult for robots because they require precision, careful coordination of contact forces, and closed-loop visual feedback.

The Health Costs of Cost-Sharing [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 Abstract What happens when patients suddenly stop their medications? We study the health consequences of drug interruptions caused by large, abrupt, and arbitrary changes in price. Medicare’s prescription drug benefit as-if-randomly assigns 65-year-olds a drug budget as a function of their birth month, beyond which out-of-pocket costs ...

PWC-Net: CNNs for Optical Flow Using Pyramid, Warping, and Cost Volume [PDF]
2018 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2017 We present a compact but effective CNN model for optical flow, called PWC-Net. PWC-Net has been designed according to simple and well-established principles: pyramidal processing, warping, and the use of a cost volume. Cast in a learnable feature pyramid,

Cost function dependent barren plateaus in shallow parametrized quantum circuits
Nature Communications, 2021 Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) optimize the parameters θ of a parametrized quantum circuit V(θ) to minimize a cost function C. While VQAs may enable practical applications of noisy quantum computers, they are nevertheless heuristic methods with ...
