Grasp-Then-Plan with Failure Attribution: A Closed Two-Stage Framework for Precise and Generalizable Robotic Manipulation

In robotic manipulation, the tight coupling between grasping and motion planning often obscures the true source of failure, leading to inefficient trial-and-error. To enable efficient long-horizon manipulation, we propose GTP-FA (Grasp-Then-Plan with Failure Attribution), a task-oriented two-stage 'grasp-then-plan' fra...

CalArena: A Large-Scale Post-Hoc Calibration Benchmark

Reliable probability estimates are critical in many machine learning applications, yet modern classifiers are often poorly calibrated. Post-hoc calibration provides a simple and widely used solution, but the large number of proposed methods, combined with small-scale and inconsistent evaluations, makes it difficult to...

Does The Way You Plan Matter? An Empirical Study of Planning Representations for LLM Web Agents

PlanAhead is introduced, a static planner-executor framework that evaluates the impact of plan representation on agent performance and shows that both, the plan formulation and the underlying LLM generating the plan, significantly influence web-agent robustness and task success.

Hidden-State Privacy Has an Empty Middle

Of $1{,}536$ Gaussian release covariances we tested for single-layer hidden-state privacy, zero achieve both moderate utility and moderate privacy against an adaptive retrieval attacker. We prove a complementary Fisher-ball lower bound: every full-rank Gaussian release at $O(1)$ Fisher utility admits a direction whose...

LLM Code Smells: A Taxonomy and Detection Approach

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into software systems for diverse purposes, due to their versatility, flexibility, and ability to simulate human reasoning to some extent. However, poor integration of LLM inference in source code can undermine software system quality. Therefore, inadequate LLM i...

BoLT: A Benchmark to Democratize Black-box Optimization Research for Expensive LLM Tasks

Optimization of LLM training and inference configurations, such as hyperparameters, data mixtures, and prompts, is critical to performance, but it is often approached heuristically in practice, leading to potentially suboptimal outcomes. By framing them as noisy, expensive, and derivative-free optimization problems, Ba...

The Geometry of Learning: Read-Write Asymmetry Across Training

Pretraining and alignment update the same transformer weights, and we ask in which directions each stage changes them. The residual stream gives every matrix a shared coordinate system, in which a weight change can be compared with the principal subspace of the activations the matrix reads and with the prediction subsp...

RePO-VLA: Recovery-Driven Policy Optimization for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remain brittle in long-horizon, contact-rich manipulation because success-only imitation provides little supervision for execution drift, while failed rollouts are often discarded. We introduce RePO-VLA, a recovery-driven policy optimization framework that assigns distinct roles to s...

On the Tradeoffs of On-Device Generative Models in Federated Predictive Maintenance Systems

This paper provides an empirical instantiation of shared/private parameter partitioning for unsupervised generative Time-Series Anomaly Detection (TSAD), mapping the split to analysis and synthesis modules across the generative architectures.

Dr. Post-Training: A Data Regularization Perspective on LLM Post-Training

Data selection methods address a critical challenge in LLM post-training: effectively leveraging scarce, high-fidelity target data alongside abundant but imperfectly aligned general training data. In this work, we move beyond the data-selection framing and introduce Dr. Post-Training (Data-Regularized Post-Training), a...

Posterior-First Neural PDE Simulation: Inferring What Downstream Tasks Need from a Single Field

Neural PDE simulators often receive only a single observed field at deployment. In this setting, a field-to-future predictor can collapse distinct latent problem states into the same deterministic interface, losing the ambiguity needed for reliable rollout and downstream decisions. We propose posterior-first neural PDE...

On the Optimal Sample Complexity of Offline Multi-Armed Bandits with KL Regularization

A sharp analysis of KL-PCB (Zhao et al., 2026), showing that it achieves a sample complexity of $\tilde{O}(\eta SAC^{\pi^*}/\epsilon)$ under large regularization and a sample complexity of $\tilde{\Omega}(SAC^{\pi^*}/\epsilon^2)$ under small regularization.
