Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-teacher on-policy distillation (MOPD) offer complementary routes to post-training.

Trained action policies write manipulation skill into network weights, tying what is learned to the distribution it is learned from.

Machine learning models often achieve high average accuracy in the training data while performing poorly on test data due to subpopulation shift.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) integrate information across modalities, but become unreliable when those modalities disagree.

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) describe stochastic processes across a wide range of scientific domains, including physics, biology, and finance.

To interact with an object, we need to anticipate both how it will move and how our hands should move with it.

Motivated by reinforcement learning subject to communication constraints, we study a policy evaluation problem with linear function approximation over a rate-limited channel.

Despite impressive progress, existing feed-forward large 3D reconstruction models produce a single, irrevocable prediction.

As multimodal agents accumulate increasingly long interaction histories, effectively retrieving and utilizing past information becomes critical for long-term interaction.

Anomaly detection (AD) is a critical for trustworthy machine learning and scientific discovery.
