World State Generator

Sungheon Jeong, Sanggeon Yun, Ryozo Masukawa +3

Language agents solve complex tasks through plans and actions. A single step the world refuses puts the goal out of reach, and what the agent does next decides the task. Prompted p…

Vector Symbolic Policy Gradient

Ryozo Masukawa, Sanggeon Yun, SungHeon Jeong +6

We answer this question with Vector-Symbolic Policy Gradient (VSPG), a discrete-action actor that represents each action by a unit-norm hypervector and scores it by similarity to t…

Trident : How to Break Deep Reinforcement Learning Cyber Defenses (Agentic)

Ryozo Masukawa, Ian Bryant, Armita Kazeminajafabadi +6

Autonomous cyber defense systems based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) have attracted significant research attention, yet remain evaluated almost exclusively against static, h…

Differentiable Policy Transport over Multi-Layer Network Feasibility Geometry

Zuyuan Zhang, Zeyu Fang, Mahdi Imani +2

Learning-based control is increasingly central to automating network operations. A learned policy, however, must satisfy cross-layer constraints on interference, power-rate couplin…

Minimal Markovization via Stable Quotients in Holonomy-Cover Decision Processes

Zuyuan Zhang, Yongshan Chen, Mahdi Imani +1

An agent acting under partial observability must retain a recursively updateable statistic of history that restores the Markov property, but the smallest such statistic is generall…

TIPS: Topological Ill-Posedness Probing and Steering in Large Language Models

Guangyu Jiang, Sizhe Tang, Mahdi Imani +2

Ill-posed questions, including those involving ambiguity, under-specification, or conflicting statements, may admit no valid answer or multiple plausible answers, posing a signific…

FedQHD: Closed-Form Function-Space Federated Reinforcement Learning

Yuchen Hou, Yongshan Chen, Zhuowen Zou +4

Federated reinforcement learning enables decentralized agents to collaboratively improve policies or value estimates without exchanging raw trajectories. However, FedAvg-style para…

Metric-Gradient Projection for Stable Multi-Agent Policy Learning

Zuyuan Zhang, Sizhe Tang, Mahdi Imani +1

General-sum multi-agent learning is often governed by a stacked update field in which each agent's policy update changes the optimization landscape faced by the others. This coupli…

State-Centric Decision Process

Sungheon Jeong, Ryozo Masukawa, Sanggeon Yun +2

Language environments such as web browsers, code terminals, and interactive simulations emit raw text rather than states, and provide none of the runtime structure that MDP analysi…

Interactive Critique-Revision Training for Reliable Structured LLM Generation

Fei Xu Yu, Zuyuan Zhang, Mahdi Imani +2

In structured decision-making workflows such as form filling, compliance checking, and maintenance reporting, LLM outputs must be locally correct, globally consistent, and auditabl…

NonZero: Interaction-Guided Exploration for Multi-Agent Monte Carlo Tree Search

Sizhe Tang, Zuyuan Zhang, Mahdi Imani +1

Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) scales poorly in cooperative multi-agent domains because expansion must consider an exponentially large set of joint actions, severely limiting explo…

Reasoning Knowledge-Gap in Drone Planning via LLM-based Active Elicitation

Zeyu Fang, Beomyeol Yu, Cheng Liu +5

Human-AI joint planning in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) typically relies on control handover when facing environmental uncertainties, which is often inefficient and cognitively…

Knowing When to Ask: Resolving Uncertainty in Human-Robot Joint Planning via Explicit Dialogue and Implicit Intent Cues

Zeyu Fang, Yuxin Lin, Cheng Liu +6

Effective human-robot collaboration in open-world environments requires joint planning under uncertainty about the task, the environment, and the human teammate. Communication is t…

-Musketeers: Reinforcement Learning Shapes Collaboration Among Language Models

Ryozo Masukawa, Sanggeon Yun, Hyunwoo Oh +8

Recent progress in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) shows that small, specialized language models (SLMs) can exhibit structured reasoning without relying on la…

Manifold-Constrained Energy-Based Transition Models for Offline Reinforcement Learning

Zeyu Fang, Zuyuan Zhang, Mahdi Imani +1

Model-based offline reinforcement learning is brittle under distribution shift: policy improvement drives rollouts into state--action regions weakly supported by the dataset, where…

MINT: Minimal Information Neuro-Symbolic Tree for Objective-Driven Knowledge-Gap Reasoning and Active Elicitation

Zeyu Fang, Mahdi Imani, Tian Lan

Joint planning through language-based interactions is a key area of human-AI teaming. Planning problems in the open world often involve various aspects of incomplete information an…

Geometry of Drifting MDPs with Path-Integral Stability Certificates

Zuyuan Zhang, Mahdi Imani, Tian Lan

Real-world reinforcement learning is often \emph{nonstationary}: rewards and dynamics drift, accelerate, oscillate, and trigger abrupt switches in the optimal action. Existing theo…

ACDZero: MCTS Agent for Mastering Automated Cyber Defense

Yu Li, Sizhe Tang, Rongqian Chen +5

Automated cyber defense (ACD) seeks to protect computer networks with minimal or no human intervention, reacting to intrusions by taking corrective actions such as isolating hosts,…

Global Optimization on Graph-Structured Data via Gaussian Processes with Spectral Representations

Shu Hong, Yongsheng Mei, Mahdi Imani +1

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful framework for optimizing expensive black-box objectives, yet extending it to graph-structured domains remains challenging due to the discre…
