arXiv:2604. 12645v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although autonomous underwater vehicles promise the capability of marine ecosystem monitoring, their deployment is fundamentally limited by the difficulty of controlling vehicles under highly uncertain and non-stationary underwater dynamics.

Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect. While large sequence models have revolutionized data modeling, the problem of automated data selection, or "intrinsic curiosity", remains a significant challenge.
