Robotic systems can require multimodal reasoning under stringent constraints of latency, memory, and energy. Standard instruction tuning and token-level distillation fail to deliver decision quality, reliability, and interpretability under these constraints. We introduce BOLT, a decision-aligned dis…
Actor-critic (AC) methods are a cornerstone of reinforcement learning (RL) but offer limited interpretability. Current explainable RL methods seldom use *state attributions* to assist training. Rather, they treat all state features equally, thereby neglecting the heterogeneous impacts of individual …
Reinforcement Learning (RL) optimizes Traffic Signal Control (TSC) to reduce congestion and emissions, but real-world TSC systems face challenges like adversarial attacks and missing data, leading to incorrect signal decisions and increased congestion. Existing methods, limited to offline data predi…
Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), as a thriving field, explores how multiple agents independently make decisions in a shared dynamic environment. Due to environmental uncertainties, policies in MARL must remain robust to tackle the sim-to-real gap. We focus on robust two-player zero-sum Mar…
Large Language Models (LLMs) can undergo hallucinations in specialized domains, and standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) often falters due to general-purpose embeddings ill-suited for domain-specific terminology. Though domain-specific fine-tuning enhances retrieval, centralizing data intro
