At the boundary between the known and the unknown, an agent inevitably confronts the dilemma of whether to explore or to exploit. Epistemic uncertainty reflects such boundaries, representing systematic uncertainty due to limited knowledge. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian reinforcement learning…
To navigate partially observable visual environments, recent VLM agents increasingly internalize world modeling capabilities directly into their policies via explicit CoT reasoning with reinforcement learning (RL). However, mere passive exploitation of reasoning on visited states is insufficient for…
Autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate exceptional performance in language understanding and generation. However, their application in text embedding tasks has been relatively slow, along with the analysis of their semantic representation in probing tasks, due to the constraints of…
Effectively resolving phonological ambiguities is crucial for robust natural language processing, as these ambiguities are pervasive in tasks ranging from speech-to-text, spelling correction, to offensive language detection. However, current Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently struggle to resolv
Temporal difference learning (TD) is a foundational concept in reinforcement learning (RL), aimed at efficiently assessing a policy's value function. TD(λ), a potent variant, incorporates a memory trace to distribute the prediction error into the historical context. However, this approach often negl…
