arXiv:2607. 20834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (RL) holds the promise of learning general-purpose policies from static datasets.
Large language model (LLM) agents for long-horizon interactive tasks typically follow a ReAct-style protocol, issuing one primitive action per LLM round. While this enables frequent replanning, it is...
The paper introduces SPACE, a method for enabling large language model agents to emit variable-length action chunks in long-horizon tasks. By distilling chunk-boundary supervision from programmatic skills derived from successful trajectories, SPACE overcomes the tendency of agents to either act one step at a time or commit to overly long sequences. Experiments on ALFWorld and ScienceWorld demonstrate that SPACE raises success rates by 7.0%–31.3% and cuts LLM decision rounds by up to 78.9%.
arXiv:2603. 01891v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Action chunking improves exploration and accelerates value propagation in long-horizon reinforcement learning, but naively applying off-policy methods to the temporally extended action space at reduced decision frequency offsets these gains, leading to poor sample efficiency.

The paper introduces Predictive Action Chunk Learning (PACL), a method for improving robot manipulation policies using mixed-quality deployment experience. PACL first trains a predictive chunk-level critic to evaluate temporally extended action sequences, then uses the critic’s quality estimates to guide a diffusion actor that learns from both successful and failed rollouts. Experiments on simulated and real robots demonstrate that PACL consistently enhances pretrained policies and outperforms strong imitation learning and offline reinforcement learning baselines.
