Counterfactual explainability and analysis of variance

arXiv:2411.01625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing tools for explaining complex models and systems are associational rather than causal and do not provide mechanistic understanding. We propose a new notion called counterfactual explainability for causal attribution that is motivated by the…

The Hidden Game Problem

arXiv:2510.03845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates a class of games with large strategy spaces, motivated by challenges in AI alignment and language games. We introduce the hidden game problem, where for each player, an unknown subset of strategies…

Learning to Play Piano in the Real World

arXiv:2503.15481v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Towards the grand challenge of achieving human-level manipulation in robots, playing piano is a compelling testbed that requires strategic, precise, and flowing movements. Over the years, several works demonstrated hand-designed controllers on real world piano…

Algorithm Generation via Creative Ideation

arXiv:2510.03851v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing system algorithms remains challenging, where the discontinuous nature of the solution space often forces system engineers to rely on generic heuristics at the expense of performance. We study whether LLMs can practically drive algorithm…
