PAMD: Structured Adaptive Distances for Bisimulation Representations in Visual Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2607. 18004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many visual reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms learn representations by matching latent distances to a behavioral distance induced by reward and transition similarity.

Learning The Minimum Action Distance

arXiv:2506. 09276v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a state representation framework for Markov decision processes (MDPs) that can be learned solely from state trajectories, requiring neither reward signals nor the actions executed by the agent.

Unsupervised Behavioral Compression: Learning Low-Dimensional Policy Manifolds through State-Occupancy Matching

arXiv:2603. 27044v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is widely recognized as sample-inefficient, a limitation attributable in part to the high dimensionality and substantial functional redundancy inherent to the policy parameter space.

Reinforcement Fine-Tuning of Flow-Matching Policies for Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2510. 09976v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models such as OpenVLA, Octo, and $\pi_0$ have shown strong generalization by leveraging large-scale demonstrations, yet their performance is still fundamentally constrained by the quality and coverage of supervised data.

LenGuard-GPC: Length Guarding with Guided-Prompt Consistency for Spatial Reasoning Reinforce Learning

arXiv:2607. 17243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-view spatial reasoning requires vision-language models to compare visual evidence across images, align object correspondences, and infer spatial relations over long visual contexts, a setting where chain-of-thought reasoning tends to grow verbose without becoming more accurate.

SIVA-RL: Sensitivity-Invariance Visual Alignment for Multimodal Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) drives multimodal reasoning, but answer-level correctness does not guarantee that a vision-language model grounds its predictions in visual evidence. Existing visual-intervention methods contrast policy behavior on original and modified images, yet assign supervision by the type of intervention rather than its observed effect.

V-Simba: Unleashing the Architectural Potential of RL in Visual Continuous Control

arXiv:2608. 07870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Improving sample efficiency remains a core challenge in reinforcement learning (RL), especially in real-world settings like robotics, where data collection is costly.
