Pixel-UMI: Learning Environment-Aware Whole-Body Manipulation from Sensorized Human Demonstrations

Sensorized human demonstrations offer scalable data for mobile manipulation, but embodiment differences complicate policy learning. We present Pixel-UMI, a pipeline for learning environment-aware whole-body policies from human data. We first introduce Environment-Aware Retargeting (EAR), which combines reconstructed scene geometry with demonstrated head and gripper trajectories to determine robot

Pixel: A Co-Designed Full-Stack Robot System for Learning General-Purpose Mobile Manipulation

General-purpose mobile manipulation requires a combination of capable robot hardware, scalable demonstration collection, expressive whole-body control, and effective policy learning. Yet these components are often developed independently, creating mismatches that limit the capabilities of the complete system. We present Pixel, a co-designed full-stack system for learning general-purpose mobile man

From Natural Language to Exact Cover: A Neuro-Symbolic Approach to Zebra Puzzles

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) generation has substantially improved the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, including code generation, data analysis, and exam-style question answering. Despite these advances, purely neural LLMs continue to struggle with elementary logical reasoning problems and lack the determinism, soundness, and reliability characteristic of symbolic

WebHarbor: Docking Real Websites for Evolving GUI Agent Environments

GUI web agents require realistic and interactive environments that remain stable during both evaluation and training. Live website evaluation suffers from changing content, access restrictions, and limited coverage of authenticated workflows, while existing synthetic environments for training often lack functional depth and visual fidelity. We propose WebHarbor, a suite of 153 executable and docke

Pretraining Data Scale Reverses the Muon-AdamW Fine-Tuning Gap

Muon has recently emerged as a promising optimizer for pretraining large language models, offering a speedup over AdamW in minimizing pretraining loss. However, it remains unclear whether Muon's advantage persists after fine-tuning. In this paper, we study the downstream behavior of Muon and AdamW and uncover a surprising trend: beyond a sufficiently large pretraining data budget, AdamW outperform

Not All Reasoning Generalizes: A Case Study on Learning Generalizable Reasoning Strategies in RLVR

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) can enable generalizable improvement for large language model (LLM) reasoning. This paper studies how to incentivize such generalization via reasoning strategies. We study this question with a controllable equation-solving framework: finding multiple inputs x for equations f(x)=y, where f is a non-bijective string function. This setting makes r

FADE: Factored Ability--Difficulty Filtering for Online RLVR Scheduling

Group-based reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) learns only from prompts whose sampled completions disagree: all-pass and all-fail groups produce zero relative advantage and burn generation budget without moving the policy. Adaptive schedulers try to steer rollouts toward informative prompts, yet they rely on per-prompt pass-rate trackers that entangle two quantities evolving at

Thought-deciphering via hierarchical EEG-to-text alignment

Communication is important for our well-being, but it can be impaired by disabilities, such as locked-in syndrome (LIS), cerebral palsy (CP), and dysarthria. Non-invasive brain-to-text brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a promising solution by providing an alternative communication pathway for people with communication disabilities. However, most recent breakthroughs have relied on large, cumb

D&A: Decoupling Description and Assessment Enables VLMs as Zero-Shot Robotic Reward Models

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) hold promise for zero-shot video task-progress estimation in robot learning, yet existing frameworks frequently suffer from confirmation bias, hallucinating progress in failed executions due to implicit success assumptions or relative temporal ranking designs. Naive prompting of frontier models collapses into a binary success detector that fails to capture nuanced, no

Strategist: Evolving Reasoning with Agents

A model is only half of an AI agent system. The other half is the inference strategy: the reasoning procedure that turns model calls into a response. Today that second half is written by hand, and the experience of building one strategy never carries to the next. We introduce Strategist, a meta-agent that evolves inference strategies across tasks. Each strategy is written as a blueprint,executable

Tracing the Scientific Discovery Capacity of LLMs to Their Training Data

Large language models (LLMs) show growing promise for scientific discovery, yet basic questions remain about what enables reliable discovery. How can we trace the scientific discovery capacity of LLMs to their training data? We study this question as one of missing probability mass and develop a theoretical account in which monofacts-the facts observed once during training-set the discovery capaci

Benchmark Prediction with Sparse and Unpaired Cached Responses

Evaluating a generative model on all queries from all available benchmark tasks is prohibitively expensive. As such, models are often evaluated on different subsets of tasks and/or different subsets of queries from a given task. The resulting collection of responses and the corresponding (model, task) score matrix are sparse and unpaired. In this paper, we introduce the Product Kernel Perspective

Efficient Closure Learning in Dynamical Systems: A Comparison of Data-Assimilated and Embedded Approaches

Increased computing power has transformed computational science and improved predictive capabilities for complex systems, but many phenomena still exceed current simulation capabilities or require rapid evaluations for fast design iterations. Closure models address this challenge by approximating unresolved effects in reduced or incomplete dynamical systems. Data-driven closures offer a flexible m

DiabAgent: Toward Agentic Physiological Control

As pretraining scales, medical language models have advanced rapidly in clinical question answering.

Four Bridges: Measuring Deception Propensity in a Multi-Agent Game

AI agents are increasingly deployed in settings where they interact and coordinate with other agents, yet honesty is mostly measured in single-turn, single-agent benchmarks that pressure the model to deceive. We study deception that emerges in multi-agent interaction without any instruction to deceive. We introduce Kradle, a platform for evaluating AI models, and Four Bridges, an information asymm

Should We Combine Our Data? Algorithms and Limits for Privately Assessing Data Sharing

In this paper, we study when two parties should pool their data to train a machine learning model. Two agents, Alice and Bob, each hold a sensitive labeled dataset and want to train a classifier from a given hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$. Even when each party's dataset can be perfectly classified on its own, the two parties may follow conflicting labeling standards or have selection biases that a

Structured Visual Landscape: Generating Preferred Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks

Understanding how neurons respond to visual stimulus is an important question in both deep learning and neuroscience. It has significant implications for enhancing the interpretability of black-box artificial neural networks and for understanding the visual representation in the human brain. We propose a structured visual representations landscape and design an activation-based prior that allows u

Spacetime Emergence in the Memory of a Learning Agent

We show that the causal structure of spacetime can emerge within the memory of a learning agent performing a quantum information task.
