We present LVSPM, a generalizable model that jointly estimates camera poses and synthesizes novel views from uncalibrated image collections. Trained with only RGB images and pose supervision, LVSPM avoids dense 3D ground truth and employs test-time training (TTT) layers to scale seamlessly to hundreds of input views. O …
Aerial vision-and-language navigation (VLN) agents are typically trained on detail-rich, trajectory-aligned commands, whereas users issue short, intent-driven instructions; on a frozen OpenFly navigator, this \emph{instruction gap} drops success rate (SR) from $31.03\%$ to $11.33\%$. To scale translator training, we pr …
We introduce an inertial counterdiabatic (CD) protocol that reformulates shortcut-to-adiabaticity design as a moving-frame diagonalization problem. The method employs the Magnus expansion to construct a variational propagator generated by an accessible CD ansatz. In the new rotating frame, the controls are optimized to …
A model that learns from its own outputs inherits more than their correctness: it inherits which solutions it produces. We formulate Looped Self-Distillation, a self-evolution framework for code generation in which a model repeatedly generates and learns from its own raw outputs, under a fixed information budget, witho …
Time-series foundation models (TSFMs) enable zero-shot forecasting through large-scale cross-domain pretraining, while retrieval augmentation further improves their performance by leveraging historical information. However, existing methods typically correct TSFM forecasts using the ground-truth futures of similar hist …
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as social agents, yet credible human-like interaction requires more than fluent responses or persona consistency. Agents must autonomously decide whether, when, and how to communicate while adapting to evolving contexts, goals, and relationships. Existing research, …
Recent vision-language models (VLMs) have advanced vision-and-language navigation (VLN), enabling models to predict navigation actions from visual observations and language instructions. In this work, we explore VLN with panoramic observations and introduce PanoVLN. The motivation is straightforward: more complete visu …
Despite substantial progress across downstream applications, vision-language models (VLMs) remain susceptible to language bias, often prioritizing linguistic cues over visual evidence and consequently producing incorrect predictions. Prior studies have proposed various approaches to understanding and mitigating languag …
For people who are blind, touch provides an essen-tial channel for accessing written information through Braille. Bringing a similar capability to robots requires them not only to recognize tactile patterns, but also to actively establish physical contact that makes those patterns readable. Yet existing robotic Braille …
Traffic signal control (TSC) is essential for mitigating urban congestion. Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) enable richer interpretation of intersection scenes, opening new opportunities for visual-context-aware TSC. However, the loose coupling and repeated information conversion between modules can lea …
Reinforcement learning has substantially improved large language model (LLM) agents in verifiable domains, but remains difficult to apply to open-ended agent tasks, where solutions are diverse and reliable scalar rewards are hard to obtain. Recent pairwise evaluation methods alleviate reward discrimination collapse by …
This paper proposes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for scientific image quality assessment, designed to simultaneously address both the understanding track (SIQA-U) and the scoring track (SIQA-S) of the SIQA challenge. We construct a multimodal index that integrates textual semantics with fine-grained …
Direct preference alignment methods are widely used to align large language models (LLMs) with human preferences because of their computational and memory efficiency. However, likelihood displacement motivates alternative ways to extract information from preference pairs with small likelihood margins. In this paper, we …
