arXiv:2606. 11120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We recast pass evaluation in football (soccer) as a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-like evaluation problem whose components mostly exist in the literature under different names: a value model (possession value), a world model (multi-agent trajectories with ball interactions), and a policy over counterfactual actions (sampling pass variants with noise).

Learning-based motion planners, despite recent progress, often suffer from temporal inconsistency. Small perturbations across frames can accumulate into unstable trajectories, degrading comfort and safety in closed-loop driving.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel at utilizing digital APIs and increasingly serve as the "brain" of embodied AI, instructing robots to interact with the physical world. In such embodied settings, a central capability is the use of physical tools, which underpins MLLMs' ability to assist humans in real-world tasks.
Reconstructing dynamic and interactive 3D scenes from real-world observations remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. While recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting have enabled high-fidelity static reconstruction, extending it to interactive environments with articulated robots and manipulable objects remains difficult due to complex contact interactions and abrupt pose changes.

arXiv:2601. 07013v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional filtering algorithms for state estimation -- such as classical Kalman filtering, unscented Kalman filtering, and particle filters -- show performance degradation when applied to nonlinear systems whose uncertainty follows arbitrary non-Gaussian, and potentially multi-modal distributions.
