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.
