Egocentric videos capture how people carry out everyday activities, yet testing an agent requires evaluating the consequences of actions it chooses itself. We introduce Ego2World, a benchmark that turns annotated cooking activities into executable planning environments under partial observation. Its compiler links sour …

Conservative bandits must improve an incumbent policy without exhausting a prescribed performance budget. When the incumbent is uncertain, separately bounding candidate and baseline rewards can charge twice for shared estimation error. We develop Reserve-C4B around the baseline-relative contrast itself. A shared confid …

Knowing how much a causal predictor could improve need not reveal the gain of the repair actually learned. We quantify this gap in a scalar Gaussian causal experiment with known intervention geometry: auxiliary data identify effect magnitude up to bounded contamination, while diagnostics identify direction. The target …
