Vision-language models (VLMs) are powerful listwise rerankers for multimodal retrieval, but high inference costs restrict them to evaluating small local candidate views. Existing multi-call strategies rely on fixed schedules, wasting expensive VLM calls on uninformative candidate pairs and easy queries. To address this …
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies are typically adapted using successful demonstrations, which provide direct action supervision but rarely cover failure-prone states. Deployment failures expose these states, yet lack the corrective actions needed for conventional supervised learning. We propose FailPatch, a failur …
The real-world performance of current vision-language-action models is fundamentally constrained by the limited coverage of expert demonstrations and their insufficient understanding of physical interactions. A common remedy is to collect additional real-world demonstrations of newly encountered failures. However, this …
The widespread adoption of long-horizon agents has made model workloads increasingly input-heavy. Although prior work has substantially reduced the cost of long-context computation, prefill remains computationally expensive, and large KV caches continue to strain HBM and SSD capacity and data-transfer bandwidth. Togeth …
