ALDER: Discovering the Laws of a World by Acting in It
Teng Cao, Yu Deng, Quentin Delfosse +1
Reliable world models should not only predict future states but express how actions change the world in an explicit, transparent and testable form, such as equations. Yet methods t…
Explore More, Drift Less: Outcome-Only Reinforcement Learning Can Suffice for Long-Horizon Interactive Agents
Liming Pu, Xiaoxia Li, Yifu Liu +2
Reinforcement learning is a natural way to post-train LLM agents for long-horizon interactive tasks judged only by end-of-task verification, yet a shared belief holds that outcome-…
Beyond Score Prediction: LLM-Based Essay Scoring and Feedback Generation via Reinforcement Learning with Rubric Rewards
Xuefeng Jin, Jiashuo Zhang, Teng Cao +1
Large language models (LLMs) have been widely applied to automated essay scoring (AES) and automated feedback generation (AFG). However, existing studies rely primarily on prompt e…
Learning Explicit Behavioral Models with Adaptive Questions and World-Model Probes
Hikaru Shindo, Yu Deng, Teng Cao +5
Interactive agents trained only against task return can achieve high scores while failing to represent the mechanisms that make their actions succeed. This makes brittle behavior d…
Kintsugi: Learning Policies by Repairing Executable Knowledge Bases
Teng Cao, Yu Deng, Hikaru Shindo +6
Modern embodied agents achieve impressive performance, but their task knowledge is often stored in neural weights, latent state, or prompt-bound memory, making individual policy kn…
STORM: Segment, Track, and Object Re-Localization from a Single Image
Yu Deng, Teng Cao, Hikaru Shindo +3
Accurate 6D pose estimation and tracking are core capabilities for physical AI systems, yet real-world deployment remains brittle and labor-intensive. Many pipelines rely on CAD mo…
SuperPose: Improved 6D Pose Estimation with Robust Tracking and Mask-Free Initialization
Yu Deng, Jiahong Xue, Teng Cao +3
We developed a robust solution for real-time 6D object detection in industrial applications by integrating FoundationPose, SAM2, and LightGlue, eliminating the need for retraining.…
