DRACO: Fine-Grained Credit Assignment with Dynamic Rubrics for Long-Horizon Agent Training

Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards works well when a task has a programmatic checker, but most long-horizon agent domains have none. We work in the outcome-blind setting, where ground-truth success signals are not available. Multi-criteria rubrics are a popular way to supply such a reward; they are scored once per trajectory, but a single scalar is a poor signal across tens of steps.

Speech brain-computer interfaces (speech BCIs) translate neural activity into language, offering a path towards restoring speech for people with paralysis and, more broadly, enabling new forms of natural human-computer interaction.

Hydra-0: Action Flow for Generalist World Modeling and Control

We introduce Hydra-0, a generalist world model conditioned on action flow, which represents robot actions as pixel motion. This shared visual interface enables generalist world modeling and control by learning action consequences across embodiments, tasks, environments, and video-generation backbones. Our best configuration achieves 90.4% lower robot-motion error and 60.2% lower object-motion error than our action-conditioned baseline, while supporting zero-shot composition and data-efficient ad

Partition the Support, Reconstruct the Residual: Training-Free Sparse Attention for Video Generation and World Models

Training-free block-sparse attention can accelerate video transformers, but row-wise attention concentration does not by itself specify an executable sparse operator. Queries sharing a block route may have poorly overlapping supports, while retained attention mass alone does not determine the post-softmax error from skipped interactions. We show that partition geometry affects both pooled support and the predictability of the remaining residual from the sparse output. We introduce SparsePR, whic

SPK: Eliciting Structured Prior Knowledge for Interpretable Out-of-Distribution Detection in Real-Time Object Detection

Object detectors often produce over-confident predictions for objects outside their training categories, leading to so-called out-of-distribution (OoD) hallucinations. Existing approaches for detecting or mitigating such hallucinations typically either construct scoring functions directly over learned object detector representations or modify the object detector itself to suppress hallucination emergence. However, the latent priors implicitly encoded in these representations remain largely unexp
