Online Finetuning Decision Transformers with Pure RL Gradients

arXiv:2601.00167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision Transformers (DTs) have emerged as a powerful framework for sequential decision making by formulating offline reinforcement learning (RL) as a sequence modeling problem. However, extending DTs to online settings with pure RL gradients remains…

CIC: Circular Image Compression

arXiv:2407.15870v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learned image compression (LIC) is currently the cutting-edge method. However, the inherent difference between testing and training images of LIC results in performance degradation to some extent. Especially for out-of-sample, out-of-distribution, or out-of-domain testing images,…

Sequential Reservoir Computing for Efficient High-Dimensional Spatiotemporal Forecasting

arXiv:2601.00172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Forecasting high-dimensional spatiotemporal systems remains computationally challenging for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models due to gradient-based training and memory bottlenecks. Reservoir Computing (RC) mitigates these challenges by replacing backpropagation with…

Reinforcement-Learned Unequal Error Protection for Quantized Semantic Embeddings

arXiv:2601.00186v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper tackles the pressing challenge of preserving semantic meaning in communication systems constrained by limited bandwidth. We introduce a novel reinforcement learning framework that achieves per-dimension unequal error protection via adaptive repetition coding. Central…
