RAPID: Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations

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...

LLM Agents Can Easily Tamper With Their Own Traces

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....

Agentic Detection of Online Conspiracies

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....

Rolling-WAM: World Action Models with Rolling Imagination

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...

JevOut: Natural Context Can Flip Decision Models

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...

PoEM: Predicting RL Outcomes from Existing Policies

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,...

Research

Minimally Invasive Steering of Language Models

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...

The Alignment Illusion in Multimodal Large Language Models

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...
