arXiv:2606. 11015v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tuning controllers for strongly coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) industrial processes is hard: decentralized classical auto-tuning ignores loop interaction, and local numerical optimization from natural initializations stalls in the resulting non-convex cost landscape.

The paper investigates using offline reinforcement learning to improve line‑selective tripping in distribution grids. A convolutional Q‑network trained with conservative Q‑learning (CQL) processes voltage‑current phasor and impedance data, optionally with raw waveforms, to predict faulted lines. On a realistic CIGRE medium‑voltage network, the best model achieved high per‑timestep precision, recall, and F1‑score, and correctly identified the first trip action in over 98% of fault episodes, though it mis‑tripped in a notable fraction of non‑fault cases.

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning is usually framed as a question of how many parameters to update. Under a severe trainable-state budget, however, where those coefficients act is equally consequential....

arXiv:2608. 07809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A world model is only useful for physical AI if it changes what the agent does, and only safe if it declines to do so when it is wrong.

arXiv:2608. 10333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents execute heterogeneous sequences of model calls within a single task: some invocations require careful reasoning, while others are structured steps such as formatting or tool-argument construction.

arXiv:2607. 18163v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: PPO and the GRPO baseline studied here use clipped surrogate objectives whose favorable-direction saturation introduces an abrupt change in the scalar objective's derivative.

The paper investigates selective on‑policy distillation, where a student model is trained only on token positions chosen by a selector. It demonstrates that the commonly used shared learning rate is not neutral: performance varies significantly with the learning rate for different selectors, leading to inconsistent comparisons. The authors attribute this selector‑rate entanglement to the selection process itself and recommend reporting the full arm‑by‑rate matrix for fair evaluation.
