Big congrats to ASHWIN ARAVIND on defending his PhD thesis “Uncertainty-aware Optimization, Learning and Control with Multi-Agent Perspectives” under the guidance of Prof. Debasish Chatterjee & Prof. Ashish Cherukuri
📢 Talk: What Kinds of Functions Do Neural Networks Learn? Low-Norm vs. Flat Solutions
Low-norm solutions show strong, dimension-independent generalization. Flat minima may fail in high dimensions due to “neural shattering.”
New theory on what truly drives generalization.
📢 Join us online for a talk on Differentiable World Models & Physical AI — enabling AI systems to see, predict, act, and safely interact with the real world.
From fast physics simulators to adaptive control & safety guarantees.

Join us for a talk discussing Hierarchical autonomy for autonomous aerial construction with heterogeneous UAV teams.
Bridging optimal scheduling and reactive execution to enable safe, time-critical multi-UAV construction under tight temporal, causal, and safety constraints.
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Rajasekhar Anguluri to SysCon, IIT Bombay.
His research focuses on linear systems and networks, structured and sparse estimation, and high-dimensional data science, with applications of mathematical engineering to energy and societal systems.
A new numerically viable technique for optimal covering problems will be presented in NeurIPS 2025.
Authors: Gokul Rajaraman (UG, ME@IITB) and Debasish Chatterjee

Persuasion with imperfect decision-makers
When receivers don’t act optimally, the classic Revelation Principle breaks.
But we show weaker versions still hold, letting the sender rely on simple action recommendations and compute near-optimal policies efficiently.
