Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training improves robot foundation models (RFMs) beyond their demonstrations, but real-world deployment demands more: learning new tasks efficiently while retaining previously acquired behaviors. Existing continual RL methods on top of VLAs mitigate forgetting but rely on on-policy upda...

Multimodal Emotion Recognition (MER) aims to understand human emotions by integrating information from multiple modalities such as speech and text. Psychological studies suggest that emotions exhibit latent hierarchical structured relationships in their semantic representations. However, most MER approaches rely on Euc...

Best-arm identification (BAI) aims to identify the optimal arm using as few samples as possible. While most existing work focuses on a single objective, many real-world applications involve multiple criteria, which motivates the study of BAI in multi-objective bandits. Intuitively, multi-objective identification seems...
The stories told about artificial intelligence (AI) play a central role in shaping public understanding, policy debates, and expectations about technological change. News media are especially influential in this process. Using a cross-regional corpus of 12,924 English-language news articles about AI published since 202...

Understanding agent heterogeneity can inform the design of shared and agent-specific policy representations, however existing criteria provide no unified structural test. We study finite-horizon POSGs and define a type-compatible transformation as a policy-evaluation symmetry when complete policy evaluation commutes wi...
Task planning for robots in off-site construction prefabrication is primarily manual, leading to planning inefficiencies and reluctance to adopt robotic solutions. Existing approaches provide limited support for scalable, modular automated task planning and localized runtime replanning. This paper proposes APTree, a mo...

This work empirically identifies that the ordered vocabulary-head logits follow a remarkably consistent log-linear relation across prediction contexts, architectures, and scales, emerging progressively during pretraining.

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act as personal assistants; however, little is known about how they capture national-level preferences on a global scale. Given that"time"is a universal and representative concept, we examine LLMs'time preferences by varying only users'country and measuring the compensation LLM...

Egocentric video understanding spans diverse capabilities, modalities, and evaluation formats, yet these are often studied in isolation despite their tight coupling in real-world interaction. We propose the Ego-Action-World interaction loop as a unifying principle: the wearer perceives the world, forms goals, acts, cha...

Autoformalization (AF) requires more than compilation: formal statements must preserve the meaning of their informal sources, a property known as faithfulness. An emerging frontier is the automated evaluation of this property, yet most existing methods operate at the statement level and produce whole-item verdicts, fai...

Objective digital measures of depression severity could complement conventional symptom assessments and facilitate more timely clinical evaluation. Here, we investigated whether task-evoked eye movements provide interpretable behavioral markers of depression severity in adolescents and young adults. In this single-cent...

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown strong potential for embodied vision-language navigation (VLN), yet their performance degrades on long-horizon trajectories due to context-length limits, redundant historical observations, and unstable spatial alignment across time. These issues make it difficult to both...
