arXiv:2608. 06762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bisimulation metrics quantify behavioral similarity in Markov decision processes, but their Wasserstein fixed-point operator updates every state pair and incurs quadratic pairwise work.

arXiv:2608. 12959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are judged by how well they predict, so when planning fails at long horizons the natural reading is that the predictor degrades.

arXiv:2606. 19004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training of Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) is prohibitively expensive, requiring thousands of high-end GPUs.

arXiv:2608. 11318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many sequential construction tasks exhibit exact symmetry at completion while their execution remains directed and history-dependent.
By Yi Liu
arXiv:2605. 01928v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We optimize losses that jump: spiking thresholds, quantized layers, and discrete routing put jumps in the forward pass, where backpropagation does not apply.
By An T. Le
arXiv:2607. 05876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM serving optimization typically benchmarks many configurations and reaches for heavy profilers when latency targets are missed.
By Yihua Liu
arXiv:2606. 25556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stepwise group-based RL is an attractive way to train long-horizon LLM agents without a learned critic: it reuses multiple sampled rollouts to estimate local advantages.

arXiv:2607. 05339v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is effective when the current policy already samples useful reasoning trajectories, but it stalls on hard prompts whose correct solution modes lie outside the student's on-policy support.

arXiv:2603. 18624v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Zero-shot object-goal navigation (ZSON) requires navigating unknown environments to find a target object without task-specific training.

arXiv:2606. 21641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as hyperparameter-optimization (HPO) advisors that "warm-start" search from prior knowledge, proposing strong configurations in very few evaluations.

arXiv:2607. 17136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic computer-use RL is reported in single runs, and those numbers mislead.

arXiv:2607. 05238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: JEPA world models predict the next latent state with a single deterministic predictor trained by latent regression.
