arXiv:2607. 08647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As autonomous agents are increasingly deployed across diverse operational contexts, aligning their behavior with human intent demands reward functions that remain robust to such changes rather than overfitting to any single environment.
arXiv:2509. 03206v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning from reward functions and imitation learning of demonstrations are the two principal approaches for training autonomous systems that interact with an environment through action and observation.
arXiv:2606. 20858v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The temporal structure of reward composition in reinforcement learning (RL) is typically hand-designed and held fixed throughout training, leaving the progression of motivational priorities largely unexplored.
arXiv:2609.07575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work introduces an alternative view of efficient exploration and studies its theoretical and empirical implications in the absence of extrinsic...
arXiv:2509. 10656v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: For groups of autonomous agents to achieve a particular goal, they must engage in coordination and long-horizon reasoning.
arXiv:2507.11482v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial learning systems are graduating from passive learners to increasingly autonomous agents, lending pragmatic urgency to the question of wh...
arXiv:2606. 15306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We envision continually learning agentic systems that become more useful over time: as they encounter sequences of related tasks, they should infer the hidden structure shared across those tasks and use it to improve future decisions.
arXiv:2606. 19476v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect.
Temporal credit assignment is central to both biological and artificial intelligence, yet its interaction with non-linear function approximation is poorly understood. We identify a systematic failure mode in deep reinforcement learning (RL) termed Trace-Mediated Peak Bias (TMPB).
arXiv:2606. 07367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently emerged as powerful controllers for interactive agents in complex environments, yet training them to perform reliable long-horizon decision making remains a fundamental challenge.
Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize. World modeling offers a natural intermediate proxy that allows agents to query lower-cost, more controllable feedback before committing to real actions.
arXiv:2607. 13560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative and embodied AI have been driven by large-scale predictive learning over multimodal data.
