RLVR improves language-model reasoning, but commonly relies on independent stochastic rollouts for exploration, which can repeatedly sample similar failed strategies. Prior work has seen success with…
Evaluating and post-training robot policies through physical interaction is costly and difficult to scale, motivating action-conditioned world models as interactive simulators. However, visually…
General-purpose multimodal models have shown promise as direct robot action policies, yet whether they grasp the physics underlying real-world interactions and can apply that understanding to guide…
Classical robot navigation stacks are reliable but often require re-engineering for each new robot type and site. Learning-based navigation shifts this effort from hand-tuned parameters to data…
Reasoning about safety is essential for embodied agents powered by large language models (LLMs). We introduce the Contextual Action and Plan Safety benchmark (CAPSafe), designed to evaluate safety…
Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability analysis offers formal safety guarantees for control systems, but training accurate neural certificates remains difficult, particularly when unsafe regions are hard…
Recent studies have explored the potential of multimodal large language models for robot control, yet the models' embodied capabilities remain insufficiently characterized across models, tasks, and…
Video generation models are promising foundations for embodied world models, but only if their generated rollouts are physically valid and faithful to task instructions. Multimodal large language…
Human-collected real-world robotic manipulation demonstrations often contain mixed-quality trajectories, including hesitant, indirect, or inefficient action segments. While diffusion- and flow-based…
When does experience memory help a closed-loop LLM driving agent? Published gains cannot say, because the two factors we find to matter most, which warmup experiences the pool contains and what any…
Healthcare providers lose substantial revenue to systematic payer underpayments and claim denials, yet identifying the recurring, correctable patterns behind them remains largely manual and does not…
In object goal navigation (ObjectNav), an embodied agent must find a target object (e.g., "find a bed") in a previously unseen environment, relying on spatial commonsense such as object…
Real-world audio typically contains concurrent sound events, yet standard self-supervised methods treat each clip as an isolated training unit without explicitly modeling mixture--constituent…
The evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is inherently multi-objective, as different models may offer different tradeoffs across performance dimensions such as math, code, and writing. Because…
In modern commerce, firms and platforms typically use customer features from different sources to personalize prices: some features are verified using seller records or third-party data, while others…
Understanding the objectives that drive agents' behavior is crucial in strategic environments, where multiple agents interact and adapt to one another. This challenge arises in domains such as…
Many modern learning systems are used not to select a single best action, but to sample diverse high-quality outputs. Examples include entropy-regularized reinforcement learning, RLHF, and…
LLM agentic workflows increasingly employ different models for specialized roles. Users may prefer different trade-offs between task quality and deployment cost, sometimes also considering latency.
Recent time series foundation models (TSFMs) can consume covariates in-context, extending zero-shot forecasting to problems driven by external factors. This enables scenario analysis: forecasting how…
Inference-time sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) decoding can improve the reasoning accuracy of masked diffusion language models (diffusion LLMs) without post-training by resampling a population of…
Alignment of large language models typically relies on pairwise preference feedback, though ranked feedback can capture more comprehensive information across multiple responses within a single…
Agents that run for a long time have a memory problem, and it is not the one most systems optimize for. Storing every trace and retrieving the nearest neighbors works early and quietly stops working…
Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly proposed as a fast solver for unit commitment (UC), but standalone agents remain far more expensive than mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). In the…
Metaheuristic comparisons are often reported at evaluation budgets far larger than an expensive engineering simulation can afford. This paper presents REMBGO, an evaluation-budget-aware refinement of…
