Contact-Anchored Policies: Contact Conditioning Creates Strong Robot Utility Models

RSS 2026poster

The prevalent paradigm in robot learning attempts to generalize across environments, embodiments, and tasks with language prompts at runtime. A fundamental tension limits this approach: language is often too abstract to guide the concrete physical understanding required for robust manipulation. In t…

D$^2$O: A Dual Debiasing Operator for Training-Free Test-Time Adaptation of Vision–Language Models

ICML 2026poster

Training-free test-time adaptation (TTA) for vision-language models (VLMs) can boost zero-shot classification under mild shifts but often collapses under severe environment/style shifts. We identify two shared failure modes: (i) retrieval confounding, where feature similarity is dominated by style a…

EnzyControl: Adding Functional and Substrate-Specific Control for Enzyme Backbone Generation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Designing enzyme backbones with substrate-specific functionality is a critical challenge in computational protein engineering. Current generative models excel in protein design but face limitations in binding data, substrate-specific control, and flexibility for de novo enzyme backbone generation. T…

Extreme Value Policy Optimization for Safe Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2025poster

Ensuring safety is a critical challenge in applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to real-world scenarios. Constrained Reinforcement Learning (CRL) addresses this by maximizing returns under predefined constraints, typically formulated as the expected cumulative cost. However, expectation-based constr…

ProteinConformers: Benchmark Dataset for Simulating Protein Conformational Landscape Diversity and Plausibility

NeurIPS 2025poster

Understanding the conformational landscape of proteins is essential for elucidating protein function and facilitating drug design. However, existing protein conformation benchmarks fail to capture the full energy landscape, limiting their ability to evaluate the diversity and physical plausibility o…
