Temporal Regression-Based Model-Free Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

To address the widespread sensitivity of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) sensorless control to motor parameters, this paper proposes a temporal regression-based model-free sensorless control (TFC) method. First, voltage integrals and current increments over consecutive short intervals are stacked to construct a finite window regression, in which the unknown stator inductance appears as a common scalar coefficient. Second, a projection operator constructed from the stacked current increments eliminates the inductance term, and a least-squares formulation is developed to reconstruct the rotor flux vector. Meanwhile, the analysis of the projected regression and current-flux geometry establishes a two-dimensional direction vector whose components share a common amplitude containing the stator resistance and flux linkage. This amplitude cancels during position extraction. By setting the resistance reference to zero, the proposed method estimates the position without specifying the stator resistance, inductance, or flux linkage. Finally, experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed TFC method.

Equivalent Flux Compensation for SPMSM Sensorless Control under Parameter Mismatch

Parameter mismatch is the main source of rotor position estimation error in sensorless control of surface-permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs). To this end, this paper proposes a simple yet efficient equivalent flux compensation (EFC) method that directly estimates the equivalent flux disturbance caused by parameter mismatches in real time. First, the equivalent flux disturbance caused by parameter mismatches is derived from a nonlinear flux observer. Second, a flux update law is proposed to minimize both magnitude and directional errors by leveraging geometric error together with the derived equivalent flux disturbance. To enhance numerical stability, a saturation function is introduced to improve gradient continuity in the update process. Additionally, Lyapunov analysis is employed to ensure the stability of the proposed update law, from which the corresponding error bounds and convergence properties are derived. Finally, experimental results validate that the proposed method fully compensates for the steady-state effects of resistance and flux mismatches, and partially mitigates the influence of inductance variation, effectively constraining the position estimation error within a relatively small range.

CereVLA: Cerebellum-Inspired Consequence-Aware Residual Governance for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Execution

Action-chunked vision-language-action (VLA) policies improve inference efficiency, but limited feedback within committed action chunks can lead to accumulated execution errors. Residual adaptation can correct such deviations without retraining the VLA; however, existing corrections are typically optimized for reference-action consistency without explicitly considering their downstream consequences. To address this limitation, we present Cerebellum-Inspired Consequence-Aware Residual Governance (CereVLA), a unified framework that integrates lightweight residual refinement and predictive consequence evaluation into frozen VLA execution. Corrective actions are first generated by flow-based residual refinement, and their short- and interval-horizon consequences are then evaluated by a recurrent state-space model and a history-aware classifier. Residual corrections predicted to be unfavorable are selectively suppressed by a lightweight governor. Comparisons with state-of-the-art methods on LIBERO-10 and LIBERO-GOAL demonstrate the effectiveness of CereVLA. On SO-101, CereVLA increases task success from 57.5% to 90.0% and reduces mean control steps by 19.6% among successful trials, relative to the frozen SmolVLA baseline.

Towards Reliable Time Series Forecasting under Future Uncertainty: Ambiguity and Novelty Rejection Mechanisms

In real-world time series forecasting, uncertainty and lack of reliable evaluation pose significant challenges. Notably, forecasting errors often arise from underfitting in-distribution data and failing to handle out-of-distribution inputs. To enhance model reliability, we introduce a dual rejection mechanism combining ambiguity and novelty rejection. Ambiguity rejection, using prediction error variance, allows the model to abstain under low confidence, assessed through historical error variance analysis without future ground truth. Novelty rejection, employing Variational Autoencoders and Mahalanobis distance, detects deviations from training data. This dual approach improves forecasting reliability in dynamic environments by reducing errors and adapting to data changes, advancing reliability in complex scenarios.

TimeSieve: Extracting Temporal Dynamics through Information Bottlenecks

Time series forecasting has become an increasingly popular research area due to its critical applications in various real-world domains such as traffic management, weather prediction, and financial analysis. Despite significant advancements, existing models face notable challenges, including the necessity of manual hyperparameter tuning for different datasets, and difficulty in effectively distinguishing signal from redundant features in data characterized by strong seasonality. These issues hinder the generalization and practical application of time series forecasting models. To solve this issues, we propose an innovative time series forecasting model TimeSieve designed to address these challenges. Our approach employs wavelet transforms to preprocess time series data, effectively capturing multi-scale features without the need for additional parameters or manual hyperparameter tuning. Additionally, we introduce the information bottleneck theory that filters out redundant features from both detail and approximation coefficients, retaining only the most predictive information. This combination reduces significantly improves the model's accuracy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on 70% of the datasets, achieving higher predictive accuracy and better generalization across diverse datasets. Our results validate the effectiveness of our approach in addressing the key challenges in time series forecasting, paving the way for more reliable and efficient predictive models in practical applications. The code for our model is available at https://github.com/xll0328/TimeSieve.
