Selection-Aware Stress Testing for Interactive Agents

Yang Xu, Chenang Li, Jiefu Zhang +3

Agent evaluations often use one benchmark to choose a workflow and then search for task types where its advantage weakens, so both conclusions are selected from the same data. We i…

HyperSim: A Holistic Sim-To-Real Framework For Robust Robotic Manipulation

Junyi Dong, Haotian Luo, Ziwei Xu +11

Scaling data volume and diversity is critical for generalizing embodied intelligence. While synthetic data generation offers a scalable alternative to expensive physical data acqui…

Core-Halo Decomposition: Decentralizing Large-Scale Fixed-Point Problems

Haixiang, Yang Xu, Jiefu Zhang +4

We study solving large-scale fixed-point equation \(x^\star=\bar F(x^\star)\) with decomposition. Standard strict decomposition assigns each agent a disjoint block and evaluates up…

Online Bayesian Calibration under Gradual and Abrupt System Changes

Yang Xu, Chiwoo Park

Bayesian model calibration is central to digital twins and computer experiments, as it aligns model outputs with field observations by estimating calibration parameters and correct…

Towards Reliable LLM Evaluation: Correcting the Winner's Curse in Adaptive Benchmarking

Yang Xu, Jiefu Zhang, Haixiang Sun +3

Adaptive prompt and program search makes LLM evaluation selection-sensitive. Once benchmark items are reused inside tuning, the observed winner's score need not estimate the fresh-…

AGPO: Asymmetric Group Policy Optimization for Verifiable Reasoning and Search Ads Relevance at JD

Yang Xu, Kun Yao, Yiming Deng +3

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has demonstrated notable success in enhancing the reasoning performance of large language models (LLMs). However, recent studi…

The MiniMax-M2 Series: Mini Activations Unleashing Max Real-World Intelligence

Aili Chen, Aonian Li, Baichuan Zhou +215

We introduce the MiniMax-M2 series, a family of Mixture-of-Experts language models built around the principle that mini activations can unleash maximum real-world intelligence. The…

SAT: Sequential Agent Tuning for Coordinator Free Plug and Play Multi-LLM Training with Monotonic Improvement Guarantees

Yi Xie, Yangyang Xu, Yi Fan +1

Large language models (LLMs) with a large number of parameters achieve strong performance but are often prohibitively expensive to deploy. Recent work explores using teams of small…

Don't Freeze, Don't Crash: Extending the Safe Operating Range of Neural Navigation in Dense Crowds

Jiefu Zhang, Yang Xu, Vaneet Aggarwal

Navigating safely through dense crowds requires collision avoidance that generalizes beyond the densities seen during training. Learning-based crowd navigation can break under out-…

Persistent-Transient Policy Evaluation for Markov Chains via Minimal Peripheral Quotients

Yang Xu, Vaneet Aggarwal

We study fixed-policy evaluation for finite Markov chains that may be reducible and periodic. Classical evaluation methods with gain and bias decomposition are not always diagnosti…

Efficient Q-Learning and Actor-Critic Methods for Robust Average-Reward Reinforcement Learning

Yang Xu, Swetha Ganesh, Vaneet Aggarwal

We study model-free methods for distributionally robust infinite-horizon average-reward Markov decision processes (MDPs). We present non-asymptotic convergence analyses of Q-learni…

Finite-Sample Analysis of Policy Evaluation for Robust Average Reward Reinforcement Learning

Yang Xu, Washim Uddin Mondal, Vaneet Aggarwal

We present the first finite-sample analysis of policy evaluation in robust average-reward Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Prior work in this setting have established only asympto…
