DART-VLN: Test-Time Memory Decay and Anti-Loop Regularization for Discrete Vision-Language Navigation

Memory-based discrete vision-language navigation (VLN) agents must act under partial observability, yet even strong frozen backbones remain vulnerable at test time. Two common failure modes are stale historical evidence at memory readout and inefficient local backtracking during action selection.

Think at 5 Hz, Act at 20 Hz: Asynchronous Fast-Slow Vision-Language-Action Inference for Closed-Loop Driving

arXiv:2607. 15621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires.

Path-level Hindsight Instructions for Semantic Exploration in Vision-Language Navigation

On-policy exploration is a crucial component for training robust Vision-Language Navigation agents, as it exposes the policy to a broader state distribution. However, such exploration inevitably leads to trajectories that deviate from expert demonstrations, resulting in a semantic mismatch between the executed visual stream and the original language instruction.
