Difference-Aware Retrieval Policies for Imitation Learning

arXiv:2606.09758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parametric imitation learning via behavior cloning can suffer from poor generalization to out-of-distribution states due to compounding errors during deployment. We show that reusing the training data during inference via a semi-parametric retrieval-based imitation learning…

ResearchClawBench: A Benchmark for End-to-End Autonomous Scientific Research

arXiv:2606.07591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI coding agents are increasingly used for scientific work, but their end-to-end autonomous research capability remains difficult to verify. We present ResearchClawBench, a benchmark for evaluating autonomous scientific research across 40 tasks from 10 scientific…

Learning Quantized Continuous Controllers for Integer Hardware

arXiv:2511.07046v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deploying continuous-control reinforcement learning policies on embedded hardware requires meeting tight latency and power budgets. Small FPGAs can deliver these, but only if costly floating-point pipelines are avoided. We study quantization-aware training (QAT) of policies…

Shortcuts in the Tail: Debiasing via Post-Hoc Spectral Compression of Fine-Tuning Updates

arXiv:2606.07596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning often introduces spurious correlations alongside task knowledge, causing systematic failures on underrepresented groups. Existing mitigations require retraining, group labels, or curated counterfactual data. We show a simple post-hoc intervention reduces shortcut reliance without any…

Learning Behavioral Signals from Encrypted Smartphone Network Traffic

arXiv:2605.01616v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Human behavior is challenging to measure continuously at scale, yet traces of daily routines and well-being may be reflected in interactions with personal devices. We investigate whether encrypted smartphone network traffic can serve as a…
