A central capability of embodied agents is to accomplish complex objectives through sequences of interdependent tasks. Yet existing visual goal-conditioned policies underlying these agents are typically evaluated on isolated interactions where the target is already visible, and thus do not capture the conditions that a …

Proactive AI assistants continuously observe a user's activity and decide whether to provide new guidance or remain silent. They should provide appropriate guidance for the task, determine when to provide the next guidance based on task progress, and adjust the guidance level to the user's expertise and needs. Supporti …

Rubric-based reinforcement learning extends reward-driven optimization to open-ended tasks by assigning partial credit to individual response requirements. However, rubric judges can assign a high criterion score even when the information or action it requires is absent from the response, a failure mode we term Vacuous …

Continual test-time adaptation (CTTA) adapts a source model to an unlabeled test stream whose distribution may change over time. Existing TTA methods often assess prediction reliability using confidence or entropy, which primarily reflect the model's self-certainty for the current sample. In CTTA, accumulated target ob …
