AWARe: Mitigating Catastrophic Forgetting via Activation-Weighted Adaptive REtention
Juncheng Liao, Jinfan Lv, Guoming Wang +3
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit strong generalization and reasoning abilities due to large-scale multimodal pre-training. However, fine-tuning these models on down…
Dataset Distillation Based on Saliency-Driven Prototype Alignment
Yawen Zou, Wenqi Cai, Guang Li +3
Dataset distillation aims to synthesize compact datasets that can approximate the performance of full-data training while significantly reducing computational and storage costs. Ho…
HumAIN: Human-Aware Implicit Social Robot Navigation
Daeun Song, Nhat Le, Jeffrey Chen +7
Effective social robot navigation requires sensitivity to human behavior, often revealed through subtle skeletal cues like gait and orientation. We present Human-Aware Implicit Soc…
Vision-Language Models for Deployable Social Robot Navigation: Bridging Semantic Reasoning and Low-Level Control
Runji Cai, Toshihiko Yamasaki, Ling Xiao
Social robot navigation (SRN) requires more than geometric path planning; it demands understanding human intentions, social norms, and contextual cues to generate socially complian…
Rethinking Groups in Critic-Free RLVR
Yihong Wu, Liheng Ma, Lingfeng Xiao +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central paradigm for post-training large language models. Existing critic-free RL methods typically generate a group of rollouts for the sa…
E-SocialNav: Efficient Socially Compliant Navigation with Language Models
Ling Xiao, Daeun Song, Xuesu Xiao +1
Language models (LMs) are increasingly applied to robotic navigation; however, existing benchmarks primarily emphasize navigation success rates while paying limited attention to so…
