ACSAC: Adaptive Chunk Size Actor-Critic with Causal Transformer Q-Network

arXiv:2605.11009v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon, sparse-reward tasks pose a fundamental challenge for reinforcement learning, since single-step TD learning suffers from bootstrapping error accumulation across successive Bellman updates. Actor-critic methods with action chunking address this by operating over temporally extended…

Self-Supervised Laplace Approximation for Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification

arXiv:2605.12208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate Bayesian inference typically revolves around computing the posterior parameter distribution. In practice, however, the main object of interest is often a model’s predictions rather than its parameters. In this work, we propose to bypass…

LoopUS: Recasting Pretrained LLMs into Looped Latent Refinement Models

arXiv:2605.11011v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped computation shows promise in improving the reasoning-oriented performance of LLMs by scaling test-time compute. However, existing approaches typically require either training recurrent models from scratch or applying disruptive retrofits, which involve substantial computational costs…

A Semi-Supervised Framework for Speech Confidence Detection using Whisper

arXiv:2605.12387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic detection of speaker confidence is critical for adaptive computing but remains constrained by limited labelled data and the subjectivity of paralinguistic annotations. This paper proposes a semi-supervised hybrid framework that fuses deep semantic embeddings…

Backbone-Equated Diffusion OOD via Sparse Internal Snapshots

arXiv:2605.11014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fair comparison between diffusion-based OOD detectors is challenging, as conclusions can vary with backbone choice, corruption parameterization, and test-time budget. We address this issue through a Mutualized Backbone-Equated (MBE) protocol that aligns canonical corruption levels…
