UAD: Unsupervised Affordance Distillation for Robot Learning
By
–
UAD (Unsupervised Affordance Distillation) — a powerful new pipeline for learning fine-grained object affordances without any manual labels. It enables robots to understand how to interact with novel objects in open-ended, real-world scenarios. UAD distills implicit knowledge

A*-PO: Efficient Two-Stage Policy Optimization for LLMs
By
–
Current RL fine-tuning for LLMs suffers from expensive training, critic networks or advantage estimates, and inefficient exploration. Enter A*-PO: A two-stage policy optimization method that flips the standard approach — slashing compute and memory costs compared to

Diffusion Models: Improving Internal Representations Through Explicit Regularization
By
–
Diffusion models have been wildly successful for image and text generation, but they rely on regression-based objectives and lack explicit representation regularization. As a result, their internal representations are underutilized or poorly structured. This paper introduces
