We consider nonparametric tangent vector field regression on a Riemannian manifold without boundary. Because responses at different points lie in different tangent spaces, the proposed kernel estimator first parallel transports nearby responses to the target tangent space and…
In this work, we conduct a systematic comparison of two state-of-the-art motion-imitation reinforcement learning (MIRL) pipelines, one built on SCONE/HyFyDy and one built on MuJoCo/MyoSim. HyFyDy emphasizes physiological realism through detailed musculotendon modeling, while…
Counterfactual simulation with a clinical world model means fixing a patient's history, changing the treatment, and reading off the predicted response. Doing so requires deciding what counts as one intervention. In clinical settings, interventions are documented as bundles: a…
