On Training in Imagination

arXiv:2605.06732v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art model-based reinforcement learning methods train policies on imagined rollouts. These rollouts are trajectories generated by a learned dynamics model and are scored by a learned reward model, but without querying the true environment during…

Structured Prototype-Guided Adaptation for EEG Foundation Models

arXiv:2602.17251v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models (EFMs) have shown strong potential for transferable representation learning, yet their adaptation in realistic settings remains challenging when only a few labeled subjects are available. We show that this challenge stems…

Discovering Learning-Friendly Generation Orders for Sequential Computation

arXiv:2506.23875v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential computation via autoregressive generation can make difficult tasks learnable, but the generation order of intermediate states strongly affects whether training succeeds. We address the problem of discovering a learning-friendly target order automatically, rather than…

SB-TRPO: Towards Safe Reinforcement Learning with Hard Constraints

arXiv:2512.23770v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In safety-critical domains, reinforcement learning (RL) agents must often satisfy strict, zero-cost safety constraints while accomplishing tasks. Existing model-free methods frequently either fail to achieve near-zero safety violations or become overly conservative. We introduce Safety-Biased…

The Proxy Presumption: From Semantic Embeddings to Valid Social Measures

arXiv:2605.07409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Natural Language Processing is rapidly evolving into a primary instrument for Computational Social Science, with researchers increasingly using embeddings to measure latent constructs such as novelty, creativity, and bias. However, this transition faces a fundamental…
