Dueling World Models: Advantage-Style Action Channels for Common-Mode Distractor Rejection

arXiv:2608. 06706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models plan by predicting future states from an action, but when a scene contains motion the agent does not control, they quietly go action-blind: predictions for different actions become indistinguishable even as the training loss keeps improving.

Agentic Planning for Symbolic Execution

arXiv:2608. 06397v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic execution seeks to explore feasible program paths, yet a practical run may exhaust its resources while much program behaviour remains unreached.

A MARL Centered Reference Architecture for Large Language Model Augmentation in Smart Manufacturing

arXiv:2608. 07148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern manufacturing imposes six coupled demands on adaptive control: local decisions with global consequences, partial observability, nonstationarity, reflex speed response with long horizon effects, delayed and diffuse outcomes, and dynamics that resist explicit modeling.
