DemoBridge: A Simulation-in-the-Loop Toolkit for Single-View Human Demonstration Retargeting
Zehao Wang, Fabien Despinoy, Sergey Zakharov +2
We present DemoBridge, an toolkit that turns a single-view RGB stereo recording of a human hand demonstration into an executable, physics-validated robot-arm trajectory. Retargetin…
Continual Self-Improvement with Lightweight Experiential Latent Memories
Vaggelis Dorovatas, Nancy Kalaj, Rahaf Aljundi
Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance by scaling inference-time compute, yet remain fundamentally stateless, discarding the rich, self-produced reasoning trace…
Position: Modular Memory is the Key to Continual Learning Agents
Vaggelis Dorovatas, Malte Schwerin, Andrew D. Bagdanov +21
Foundation models have transformed machine learning through large-scale pretraining and increased test-time compute. Despite surpassing human performance in several domains, these…
Thinking Past the Answer: Evaluating Harmful Overthinking in Large Reasoning Models
Simone Caldarella, Davide Talon, Rahaf Aljundi +2
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) improve performance by generating explicit intermediate reasoning traces through increased test-time compute, yet the assumption that longer reasoning…
From Demonstrations to Rewards: Test-Time Prompt Optimization for VLM Reward Models
Christian Gumbsch, Leonardo Barcellona, Lennard Schünemann +7
Reinforcement learning relies on accurate reward functions, which are often hand-crafted or even unavailable in real-world applications, such as robotics. Recent work has explored…
Reconstruction by Generation: 3D Multi-Object Scene Reconstruction from Sparse Observations
Andrii Zadaianchuk, Leonardo Barcellona, Lennard Schuenemann +7
Accurately reconstructing complex full multi-object scenes from sparse observations remains a core challenge in computer vision and a key step toward scalable and reliable simulati…
