End-to-end autonomous driving (AD) systems increasingly adopt vision-language-action (VLA) models, yet they ignore the passenger's emotional state, which is central to comfort and AD acceptance. We introduce Open-Domain End-to-End (OD-E2E) AD, where an autonomous vehicle must interpret free-form nat
Modern language agents often need to solve tasks requiring long-horizon, multi-turn interactions, where they retrieve external information, adapt to observations, and answer interdependent queries. Yet, most LLM systems rely on full-context prompting, appending all past turns regardless of their rel…
To develop socially intelligent AI, existing approaches typically model behavioral dimensions (e.g., affective, cognitive, or social attributes) in isolation. Although useful, this task-specific modeling increases training costs and limits generalization across behavioral settings. Recent reasoning …
Despite the popularity of multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) in simulated and two-player applications, its success in messy real-world applications has been limited. A key challenge lies in its generalizability across problem variations, a common necessity for many real-world problems. Contextu…
Simulating society with large language models (LLMs), we argue, requires more than generating plausible behavior; it demands cognitively grounded reasoning that is structured, revisable, and traceable. LLM-based agents are increasingly used to emulate individual and group behavior, primarily through…
Vision-language models (VLMs) excel in many downstream tasks but struggle with spatial reasoning, which is crucial for navigation and interaction with physical environments. Specifically, many spatial reasoning tasks rely on fundamental two-dimensional (2D) capabilities, yet our evaluation shows tha
Citywalk, a recently popular form of urban travel, requires genuine personalization and understanding of fine-grained requests compared to traditional itinerary planning. In this paper, we introduce the novel task of Open-domain Urban Itinerary Planning (OUIP), which generates personalized urban iti…
