Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) provides a powerful framework for learning from demonstrations. However, real-world tasks often exhibit substantial natural variations (e.
Coordinating payload transfers between subsystems is a critical challenge in lifelong Multi-Agent Pickup and Delivery (MAPD). We study systems where agents are confined to separate regions and must exchange payloads through shared handover stations.
User experience is a first-class objective in industrial e-commerce recommender systems (RS). Post-ranking strategies, which govern diversity, similarity, and exposure over a ranked list, are widely deployed in industrial RS for their simplicity and low serving cost.
Verify-repair loops are a standard means for large language model (LLM) agents to correct faulty plans in code generation, mathematical reasoning, and tool use. When both the verifier and the repairer are noisy, repair can damage already-correct plans, and reported acceptance keeps rising while true validity falls, so existing methods lack a principled basis for deciding when repair should stop.
arXiv:2607. 15660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While LLM agents demonstrate strong reasoning abilities in compact and well-defined scenarios, they struggle to maintain robustness and effectiveness when faced with large-scale, diverse, and dynamic real-world environments that demand seamless tool integration.

arXiv:2607. 15388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many math- and science-oriented agent systems use hierarchical designs with specialized reviewer roles, assuming that a dedicated review stage should help turn wrong candidates into correct ones.

arXiv:2607. 15610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a key approach for training LLM agents, yet popular methods such as GRPO/RLOO rely on multiple independently sampled complete trajectories for advantage estimation.

arXiv:2607. 15621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires.

arXiv:2607. 15883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are broadly capable, yet in sustained one-to-one conversation they still read as flat: competent, responsive, and somehow not quite the presence of a mind.

arXiv:2603. 03751v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cooperative object transport in unstructured environments remains challenging for assistive humanoids because strong, time-varying interaction forces can make tracking-centric whole-body control unreliable, especially in close-contact support tasks.

arXiv:2604. 06742v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has catalyzed a paradigm shift towards intent-driven software development, where autonomous agents are expected to design and deliver complete, runnable software systems from scratch.

arXiv:2607. 15835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Big data clustering remains challenging: the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering (MSSC) problem underlying K-means is NP-hard, and existing methods either reach poor local minima or require prohibitive metaheuristic hybrids.

arXiv:2607. 15715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used for complex information-extraction tasks, yet it remains unclear whether agentic components such as reflection and memory lead to observable and controllable improvements over fixed LLM workflows.

arXiv:2607. 16062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging is promoted as a substitute for joint multi-task training, yet in the reinforcement-learning setting this substitution is essentially never tested against the baseline it claims to replace: methods merge independently released agents precisely because a joint model is unavailable.
