Variance Driven Exploration: A Provable and Efficient Methodology for Pure Exploration in Highly Stochastic Environments
Khang Luong, Nam Nguyen, Hoang Ta +2
We propose Variance Driven Exploration (VarDE), a principled approach for pure exploration in highly stochastic environments, where the exploration process is dominated by stochast…
StructSAM: Structure- and Spectrum-Preserving Token Merging for Segment Anything Models
Duy M. H. Nguyen, Tuan A. Tran, Duong Nguyen +17
Recent token merging techniques for Vision Transformers (ViTs) provide substantial speedups by reducing the number of tokens processed by self-attention, often without retraining.…
Finetuning Vision-Language-Action Models Requires Fewer Layers Than You Think
Gia-Binh Nguyen, Trong-Bao Ho, Thien-Loc Ha +18
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models pre-trained on massive video-robot datasets have revolutionized robotic manipulation, yet their multi-billion parameter architectures impose pro…
Conservation Laws for Modern Neural Architectures
Viet-Hoang Tran, Vinh Khanh Bui, Tan Lai Ngoc +3
Understanding gradient descent dynamics is key to explaining the success of over-parameterized models, where implicit bias manifests through conservation laws in gradient flow. Whi…
