Bilinear Flow Policy: Distributional Extrapolation for Goal-Conditioned Visuomotor Imitation

Goal-conditioned imitation learning (GCIL) with flow matching is a promising framework that can represent multimodal behaviors while adapting to diverse, user-specified goals, yet often fails when goals lie outside the demonstration support. To extrapolate to such unseen goals without collapsing multimodality - a probl …

Less Decoder is More Encoder: Geometric Representation Learning from Novel View Synthesis

This paper examines the role of Novel View Synthesis (NVS) in geometric representation learning. In principle, NVS should reason about 3D scene structure, thereby enabling transferable multi-view geometric representations. Yet, existing encoder-based NVS methods yield poor representations. This is not because of a lack …

Expert-Play Contouring Control: Faster-than-Demonstration Planning from Slow Expert and Fast Play

Expert demonstrations often specify what a robot should do, but not how fast it can do it. Imitation Learning (IL) inherits demonstration timing, while directly accelerating the learned motion can fail when faster execution changes the robot-object dynamics. We study faster-than-demonstration execution as a dynamics-aw …
