Consistency-based Abductive Reasoning over Perceptual Errors of Multiple Pre-trained Models in Novel Environments

AAAI 2026technical

The deployment of pre-trained perception models in novel environments often leads to performance degradation due to distributional shifts. Although recent artificial intelligence approaches for metacognition use logical rules to characterize and filter model errors, improving precision often comes a

Hessian-Enhanced Token Attribution (HETA): Interpreting Autoregressive LLMs

ICLR 2026poster

Attribution methods seek to explain language model predictions by quantifying the contribution of input tokens to generated outputs. However, most existing techniques are designed for encoder-based architectures and rely on linear approximations that fail to capture the causal and semantic complexit…

SDE-HARL: Scalable Distributed Policy Execution for Heterogeneous-Agent Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2026technical

HARL enables agents to execute cooperative tasks by adopting agent-specific policies. Most of existing HARL methods use individual policy neural networks to ensure monotonic improvement, which leads to substantial computational overhead. The proposed SDE-HARL overcomes this limitation by decomposing

TOGA: Temporally Grounded Open-Ended Video QA with Weak Supervision

ICCV 2025poster

We address the problem of video question answering (video QA) with temporal grounding in a weakly supervised setup, without any temporal annotations. Given a video and a question, we generate an open-ended answer grounded with the start and end time. For this task, we propose TOGA: a vision-language…

RGMDT: Return-Gap-Minimizing Decision Tree Extraction in Non-Euclidean Metric Space

NeurIPS 2024poster

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have achieved great success in solving many challenging tasks while their black-box nature hinders interpretability and real-world applicability, making it difficult for human experts to interpret and understand DRL policies. Existing works on interpreta…

Off-Policy Evaluation for Action-Dependent Non-stationary Environments

NeurIPS 2022accept

Methods for sequential decision-making are often built upon a foundational assumption that the underlying decision process is stationary. This limits the application of such methods because real-world problems are often subject to changes due to external factors (\textit{passive} non-stationarity),…
