arXiv:2605. 05481v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit a classic "chicken-and-egg" problem in reinforcement learning: to safely improve a policy, the value function must be accurate on the state-visitation distribution of the updated policy.

arXiv:2606. 30537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving policies should be able to improve continually as deployment exposes them to increasingly diverse and long-tail traffic situations.

arXiv:2607. 08925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training reinforcement-learning agents directly on physical robots makes every fall costly, since a fall can damage the platform and cannot be undone like a simulator reset; the goal is therefore to minimize falls during training rather than trade them off against return, as constrained Markov decision process (MDP) formulations do.

arXiv:2608. 11977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-using LLM agents are commonly trained and evaluated in environments where tool calls succeed reliably, yet deployed tools can fail transiently, persistently, or silently.

arXiv:2607. 17326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transfer-oriented reinforcement learning requires evaluating algorithms along dimensions that go beyond standard sample efficiency.

arXiv:2605. 03065v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative control policies (GCPs), such as diffusion- and flow-based control policies, have emerged as effective parameterizations for robot learning.

arXiv:2606. 15333v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM unlearning has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to full retraining for removing hazardous knowledge from pretrained models while preserving general utility.

arXiv:2607. 03177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) for recovery in autonomous systems lacks causal understanding and generalizes poorly to novel failure scenarios.

arXiv:2608. 14635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly trained with reinforcement learning in long-horizon, sandboxed environments.

arXiv:2607. 18722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Asynchronous reinforcement learning improves throughput by decoupling rollout generation from optimization, but staleness is an inevitable byproduct compounded by policy lag, engine delays, and mixture-of-experts routing.

arXiv:2606. 01619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) enables LLM agents to improve continuously from environment rewards, yet the resulting policies do not systematically accumulate reusable strategies that generalize across tasks.

arXiv:2607. 22987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machinery fault detection (MFD) remains heavily reliant on supervised learning, which struggles with the scarcity of fault labels in real-world settings.
