AutoFocus-IL: VLM-Based Saliency Maps for Data-Efficient Visual Imitation Learning without Extra Human Annotations

ICRA 2026poster

We present AutoFocus-IL, a simple yet effective method to improve data efficiency and generalization in visual imitation learning by guiding policies to attend to task-relevant features rather than distractors and spurious correlations. Saliency regularization has emerged as a promising way to achie…

GABRIL: Gaze-Based Regularization for Mitigating Causal Confusion in Imitation Learning

IROS 2025

Imitation Learning (IL) is a widely adopted approach which enables agents to learn from human expert demonstrations by framing the task as a supervised learning problem. However, IL often suffers from causal confusion, where agents misinterpret spurious correlations as causal relationships, leading

Mechanistic Interpretability of Emotion Inference in Large Language Models

ACL 2025finding

Large language models (LLMs) show promising capabilities in predicting human emotions from text. However, the mechanisms through which these models process emotional stimuli remain largely unexplored. Our study addresses this gap by investigating how autoregressive LLMs infer emotions, showing that…
