Long-Horizon Embodied Decision-Making via Multimodal Memory Compression

Bingxuan Li, Rui Yang, Cheng Qian +6

Agents are increasingly expected to act not only as task executors, but also as decision-makers on behalf of human users. This shift requires agents to accumulate evidence over lon…

Generalizable VLA Finetuning via Representation Anchoring and Language-Action Alignment

Dwip Dalal, Shivansh Patel, Chahit Jain +8

Finetuning a pretrained vision-language model (VLM) on robot demonstrations via behavior cloning (BC) has become the standard recipe for vision-language-action (VLA) policies. Howe…

AdaPlanBench: Evaluating Adaptive Planning in Large Language Model Agents under World and User Constraints

Jiayu Liu, Cheng Qian, Zhenhailong Wang +10

Planning for real-world problems by language models often involves both world and user constraints, which may not be fully specified upfront and are progressively disclosed through…

MemGuard: Preventing Memory Contamination in Long-Term Memory-Augmented Large Language Models

Hyeonjeong Ha, Jeonghwan Kim, Cheng Qian +7

Memory-augmented large language models extend reasoning beyond a fixed context window by maintaining long-term memory across interactions. However, existing memory systems often co…

PixSearch: Region-Grounded Retrieval for Knowledgeable Large Multimodal Models

Jeonghwan Kim, Renjie Tao, Sanat Sharma +8

Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MM-RAG) augments visual question answering (VQA) with external knowledge, but many systems rely on modular pipelines that separate visual…

PEARL: Self-Evolving Assistant for Time Management with Reinforcement Learning

Bingxuan Li, Jeonghwan Kim, Cheng Qian +4

Overlapping calendar invitations force busy professionals to repeatedly decide which meetings to attend, reschedule, or decline. We refer to this preference-driven decision process…

Constructive Distortion: Improving MLLMs with Attention-Guided Image Warping

Dwip Dalal, Gautam Vashishtha, Utkarsh Mishra +6

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) often miss small details and spatial relations in cluttered scenes, leading to errors in fine-grained perceptual grounding. We introduce At…

PARTONOMY: Large Multimodal Models with Part-Level Visual Understanding

Ansel Blume, Jeonghwan Kim, Hyeonjeong Ha +7

Real-world objects are composed of distinctive, object-specific parts. Identifying these parts is key to performing fine-grained, compositional reasoning-yet, large multimodal mode…

MM-PoisonRAG: Disrupting Multimodal RAG with Local and Global Poisoning Attacks

Hyeonjeong Ha, Qiusi Zhan, Jeonghwan Kim +6

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a common practice in multimodal large language models (MLLM) to enhance factual grounding and reduce hallucination. Yet, its relianc…

Infogent: An Agent-Based Framework for Web Information Aggregation

Revanth Gangi Reddy, Sagnik Mukherjee, Jeonghwan Kim +3

Despite seemingly performant web agents on the task-completion benchmarks, most existing methods evaluate the agents based on a presupposition: the web navigation task consists of…

Why So Gullible? Enhancing the Robustness of Retrieval-Augmented Models against Counterfactual Noise

Giwon Hong, Jeonghwan Kim, Junmo Kang +2

Most existing retrieval-augmented language models (LMs) assume a naive dichotomy within a retrieved document set: query-relevance and irrelevance. Our work investigates a more chal…

Maximizing Efficiency of Language Model Pre-training for Learning Representation

Junmo Kang, Suwon Shin, Jeonghwan Kim +2

Pre-trained language models in the past years have shown exponential growth in model parameters and compute time. ELECTRA is a novel approach for improving the compute efficiency o…

Leveraging Order-Free Tag Relations for Context-Aware Recommendation

Junmo Kang, Jeonghwan Kim, Suwon Shin +1

Tag recommendation relies on either a ranking function for top- tags or an autoregressive generation method. However, the previous methods neglect one of two seemingly conflicti…
