CoRe: Combined Rewards with Vision-Language Model Feedback for Preference-Aligned Reinforcement Learning

Hexian Ni, Tao Lu, Yinghao Cai

Reward design remains a central challenge in reinforcement learning (RL). Hand-crafted rewards are often difficult to specify and may lead to suboptimal policies, while learned rew…

PackUV: Packed Gaussian UV Maps for 4D Volumetric Video

Aashish Rai, Angela Xing, Anushka Agarwal +5

Volumetric videos offer immersive 4D experiences, but remain difficult to reconstruct, store, and stream at scale. Existing Gaussian Splatting based methods achieve high-quality re…

PEAfowl: Perception-Enhanced Multi-View Vision-Language-Action for Bimanual Manipulation

Qingyu Fan, Zhaoxiang Li, Jinrui Hu +8

Bimanual manipulation in cluttered scenes requires policies that remain stable under occlusions, viewpoint changes and scene variations. Existing vision-language-action models ofte…
