ReTerm: Recovery Training for Self-Improving Terminal Agents

Wei Xie, Kaituo Feng, Shiming Fu +3

Terminal agents have shown strong abilities in complex coding tasks. However, they often struggle to recover from errors during long-running execution (e.g., command errors, faulty…

Discovering Diverse Planning Policies for Multimodal Embodied Agents with Quality-Diversity Optimization

Pengfei Xu, Yong Liu, Xiaoya Nan +2

Multimodal embodied agents are increasingly required to solve long-horizon tasks by integrating visual observations, textual goals, and interaction history into closed-loop decisio…

Structure-Conditioned Actor-Critic Branches for Quality-Diversity Reinforcement Learning

Lianrong Zuo, Peilan Xu, Yong Liu +1

Quality-diversity reinforcement learning (QD-RL) aims to construct policy repertoires that contain both high-performing and behaviorally diverse policies. Existing QD-RL methods ma…

AsyncLane: Decoupling Refinement from Advancement in Diffusion Language Model Decoding

Yingxuan Ren, Yuxuan Lou, Yong Liu +4

Block-wise semi-autoregressive decoding is the standard inference paradigm for diffusion large language models (DLMs), but it imposes a strict dependency between blocks: the next b…

Statistical Priors for Implicit Preferences: Decoupling Skill Selection as a Local Harness in Personal Agents

Zeyu Gan, Huayi Tang, Yong Liu

As Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities advance, locally deployed personal agents relying on API-based remote models and external skills have emerged as a novel paradigm. With t…

Towards a Theoretical Understanding to the Generalization of RLHF

Zhaochun Li, Mingyang Yi, Yue Wang +2

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and its variants have emerged as the dominant approaches for aligning Large Language Models with human intent. While empirically e…
