While a general embodied agent must function as a unified system, current methods are built on isolated models for understanding, world modeling, and control. This fragmentation prevents unifying multimodal generative capabilities and hinders learning from large-scale, heterogeneous data. In this pa
We introduce a one-step generative policy for offline reinforcement learning that maps *noise* directly to *actions* via a *residual reformulation* of MeanFlow, making it compatible with Q-learning. While one-step Gaussian policies enable fast inference, they struggle to capture complex, multimodal
The rapid progress of AI and robotics may profoundly transform society, as humans and robots begin to coexist in shared communities, bringing both opportunities and challenges. To explore this future, we present Virtual Community—an open-world platform for humans, robots, and society—built on a univ…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of embodied multi-agent cooperation, where decentralized agents must cooperate given only egocentric views of the world. To effectively plan in this setting, in contrast to learning world dynamics in a single-agent scenario, we must simulate world dynamics c…
Protein language models have emerged as powerful tools for sequence generation, offering substantial advantages in functional optimization and *denovo* design. However, these models also present significant risks of generating harmful protein sequences, such as those that enhance viral transmissibil…
Protein optimization is a fundamental biological task aimed at enhancing theperformance of proteins by modifying their sequences. Computational methodsprimarily rely on evolutionary information (EI) encoded by protein languagemodels (PLMs) to predict fitness landscape for optimization. However, thes…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing, but they fall short in comprehending biological sequences such as proteins. To address this challenge, we propose InstructProtein, an innovative LLM that possesses bidirectional generation capabilities in both…
Directed evolution, a cornerstone of protein optimization, is to harness natural mutational processes to enhance protein functionality. Existing Machine Learning-assisted Directed Evolution (MLDE) methodologies typically rely on data-driven strategies and often overlook the profound domain knowledge…
A protein can focus on different structure levels to implement its functions. Each structure has its own merit and driving forces in describing some specific characteristics, and they cannot replace each other. Most existing function prediction methods take the tertiary structure as input, unintenti…
We explore the black-box adversarial attack on video recognition models. Attacks are only performed on selected key regions and key frames to reduce the high computation cost of searching adversarial perturbations on a video due to its high dimensionality. To select key frames, one way is to use…
