arXiv:2608. 02958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies trained by behavior cloning fail silently: from the action stream alone, a collapsing rollout looks much like one making clean progress, because imitation supplies no notion of progress.

arXiv:2606. 01790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-model-based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown broad automation capabilities, yet deployment is bottlenecked by a key-value (KV) cache that grows linearly with interaction steps.

arXiv:2607. 09825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid.

arXiv:2603. 12478v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal instruction tuning is often compute-inefficient because training budgets are spread across large mixed image-video pools whose utility is highly uneven.

arXiv:2607. 14200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imitation learning is an appealing way to scale game-playing agents to complex 3D environments by training policies to map visual observations to actions from human demonstrations.

arXiv:2608. 04510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based vision-language-action (VLA) policies can generate plausible actions even when their predictions are weakly grounded in the visual and language evidence defining the task.

arXiv:2608. 06154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as zero-shot controllers, but successful trajectories do not necessarily show that decisions are grounded in visual input: simulator dynamics and conservative action priors can produce favourable scores without meaningful perception.

arXiv:2607. 24570v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale video platforms process millions of uploads hourly, requiring moderation systems that can localize when and where policy violations occur within each video.

arXiv:2607. 25487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models translate natural-language commands into robot action sequences, but leading systems on the LIBERO-Plus robustness benchmark use three- to seven-billion-parameter backbones whose memory demands can exceed embedded robotic budgets.

arXiv:2606. 12200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study policy representation learning from unlabeled multi-policy behavioral data.

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.

arXiv:2606. 09803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present \textbf{Echo-Memory}, a controlled study of memory mechanisms in action-conditioned world models.
