arXiv:2606. 07705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) is central to aligning large language models with complex human preferences, the prevailing practice of static weighted summation overlooks a more fundamental phenomenon: reward learning is markedly asynchronous across objectives.

EmbodiedMind introduces a three-stage training paradigm for embodied foundation models that tackles inefficient sample use, task imbalance, and credit assignment in long-horizon planning. The stages—Rejection Sampling-based Fine‑Tuning, Iterative Rejection GRPO, and Trie‑GRPO—filter low‑informative data, balance task difficulty, and use action prefix trees for step‑level advantage estimation. This approach yields a state‑of‑the‑art average performance of 70.02% across 18 benchmarks, notably improving long‑horizon task planning accuracy.

The paper introduces Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation (B2PD), a method that uses action‑value priors to train a conditional variational autoencoder for generating high‑value behavior support. These expert behavior priors are then distilled into the online reinforcement learning agent, reducing inefficient exploration and stabilizing policy updates. Experiments on state‑ and pixel‑based tasks show that B2PD improves sample efficiency while maintaining stable learning dynamics.
