Latent world models are typically trained to predict factual transitions, whereas model predictive control (MPC) must compare alternative actions from the same state. A model can therefore achieve low factual prediction...

Distributed learning in embodied reinforcement-learning agents offers a degree of privacy by retaining raw sensor data on-device and transmitting only policy gradients to the server. Yet temporal structure can amplify...

Coding agents have demonstrated enormous success in solving complex programming problems. To leverage their potential for robot systems, this work introduces Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations (RAPID), which...

Online misinformation increasingly appears in spoken formats such as news clips, podcasts, interviews, political speeches, and social media videos, creating a need for fact-checking systems that can verify claims...

Existing point tracking models face a fundamental tradeoff: they can either track a sparse set of query points over long horizons, or track all points across only short clips. We introduce TrackEverything, a 3D point...

An acceptance protocol is developed for sensor-coordinate and polarity binding in mechatronic commissioning. Candidate generation is separated from release authority. Requirements unsupported by a deterministic parser...

A central concern in AI safety is that agents may treat oversight as an obstacle when it conflicts with completing their goals. We study instrumental evasion, the propensity of LLM agents to circumvent runtime...

We study the deterministic oracle complexity of finding approximate solutions to composite monotone inclusion problems, formed by the sum of a smooth single-valued monotone operator and a maximally monotone set-valued...

Asynchronous monitoring, incident investigations, and compliance audits primarily rely on agent traces to reconstruct what happened. These analyses assume that LLM agents cannot tamper with their own execution traces....

Conspiratorial discourse on social media is not always expressed through explicit claims or stable lexical markers. The same surface content may express endorsement, legitimate concerns, criticism, satire, or mockery....

World Action Models (WAMs) couple action generation with future visual prediction for robotic manipulation. However, completing the joint video-action denoising process at each replanning cycle incurs substantial...

Dedicated decision models such as Jev map unstructured language to probability distributions over finite choices, allowing their outputs to directly route requests, select tools, and trigger actions. Yet real-world...

Recent research on Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) has focused on learning from language, visual, and acoustic modalities with incomplete data to infer human sentiment. Most studies typically compensate for missing...

Task and motion planning (TAMP) problems remain difficult even with full observability and object-centric states because discrete decisions are tightly coupled to geometric, kinematic, and dynamic constraints....

Foundation models are post-trained with reinforcement learning (RL) to maximize specific rewards, such as human alignment, correctness, or instruction following. This post-training process is computationally intensive,...

Pre-logit steering adapts a frozen language model to a test-time reward by adding vectors to its final hidden states. Unregularized reward optimization can substantially alter the output distribution and degrade...

Jev is a fast, low-cost decision model that answers natural-language questions with choices, binary judgments, and scores. As its public ecosystem grows rapidly, it remains unclear how Jev is used across applications...

We prove nearly quadratic lower bounds for randomized algorithms for linear optimization and uniform sampling over convex bodies in the membership oracle model. For linear optimization, this matches the known nearly...

We present Underwater C$^{3}$-JEPA (cross-view, control-conditioned, context-extended), an object-centric multi-view predictive world model for near-field heavy-load underwater ROV salvage. Without contact sensors, it...

Layer-wise visual-text similarity in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is widely interpreted as evidence that the language model progressively integrates visual content into a shared representation space. This...
