End-to-end autonomous driving demands trajectory planners that are both highly accurate and cheap enough for edge deployment. State-of-the-art artificial neural network (ANN) planners meet the accuracy requirement at the cost of heavy dense computation, while spiking neural networks (SNNs)---though promising orders-of- …
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in visual understanding and generation. However, generating interleaved image--text content remains challenging, as it requires tightly integrated multimodal understanding and generation capabilities. Although existing MLLMs provide promising solut …
Flow matching is central to 3D generation, yet in practice its reinforcement learning (RL) methods are largely adapted from 2D visual generation. Representative DPO-, GRPO-, and NFT-style objectives, when applied to negative trajectories, mainly steer predicted velocities away from the corresponding directions without …
On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on the responses it generates. Existing LLM multi-teacher OPD transfers what specialists predict through their output distributions. We introduce Latent-MOPD, to our knowledge the first representation-level multi-teacher OPD method for LLMs. It integrates existing specialis …
Language-model agents are usually trained by reinforcement learning from one reward per episode, and privileged self-distillation enriches it by letting the same policy, given a skill, teach its skill-free self through token probabilities. However, we identify two phenomena that question this channel. Invisible Advanta …
Real-world embodied agents often pursue independent objectives within a shared physical environment, where their actions can alter the conditions faced by others. Existing benchmarks, however, typically assume shared goals or explicitly prescribed interaction protocols, leaving such emergent physical coupling underexpl …
An agent can complete a task while exhibiting undesirable behavior during execution. Developers need tests for the specific behaviors encountered in deployment, beyond fixed benchmark suites. We present TraceDance, an agent system that constructs targeted benchmarks from deployment traces for user-specified undesirable …
On-policy distillation (OPD) corrects a student on the responses it writes, but its signal is the teacher's next-token distribution: it tells the student what the teacher says but misses how it thinks. Latent supervision promises the missing part by aligning the student's latent states to the teacher's. Recent methods …
Vision-language models (VLMs) rely on storing and transferring appropriate information across their sub-components. Verifying that the VLMs exhibit desired behaviours, while avoiding harmful ones, is central to their reliable deployment. Yet, methods that identify VLM behaviours remain scarce. We present DiaVLo, a diag …
