arXiv:2606. 18469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neuroscientific research has revealed that the brain encodes complex behaviors by leveraging structured, low-dimensional manifolds and dynamically fusing multiple sources of information through adaptive gating mechanisms.

arXiv:2606. 03017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reward transfer in Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is unreliable when policies must generalize to unseen combinations of environment dynamics and task goals.
The paper introduces a neurosymbolic world model that separates observation reconstruction from reward prediction, enabling the model to adapt zero‑shot to new reward functions defined over a shared symbolic state space. This approach addresses the task‑dependency of traditional neural world models, which learn latent representations tied to specific training tasks. Experiments show that the neurosymbolic formulation generalises more strongly than purely neural methods.

BrainWideBench is a benchmark that evaluates across‑animal transfer on multi‑region neural recordings from 139 mice, covering 276 brain regions. It comprises three task suites—behavior decoding, neural activity prediction, and anatomical organization recovery—to test whether learned representations support diverse downstream objectives. The benchmark shows that while pretraining improves performance over single‑session baselines, current methods vary in transfer ability and none perform uniformly well across all suites, highlighting the challenge of developing general‑purpose neural representations.

arXiv:2603. 17621v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training LLM-based agents, yet remains limited by low sample efficiency, stemming not only from sparse outcome feedback but also from the agent's inability to leverage prior experience across episodes.
