Can Jev be Your Q or Policy in Reinforcement Learning?

Foundation models supply reinforcement learning (RL) with priors that mitigate its longstanding weaknesses in sample efficiency and transfer, but their token-by-token generation makes queries sequential and costly. Jev, a recently released decision model, generates nothing and returns calibrated, typed answers in a sin...

Towards a Formal Definition of Agent Memory: Basis, Span, Optimality, and the Sequential Memory Problem

Despite the wide deployment of memory in large-model agents, there is no unified formal account of what a memory is or when it is optimal. This paper takes a first step toward this account. The central idea is that memory is a basis, knowledge is its span, and answerability is a coverage problem: an agent stores events...

PACE: Unleashing the Power of Code Embeddings to Boost AutoML Agents

PACE (Pre-execution Admission via Code Embeddings), an online-adaptive admission control framework that improves budgeted sample efficiency by estimating candidate utility prior to execution from within-run execution history, without training a separate offline predictor.

Generalized Agent Iteration: One Formal Framework for Iterative Policy Improvement and Recursive Self-Improvement

This paper proposes Generalized Agent Iteration (GAI), a formal framework that describes iterative policy improvement and RSI as two cases of a single learning paradigm that rests on the classical account, makes existing systems comparable, and provides a principled basis for analyzing and designing new ones.

FANS: A Flatness-Aware Network Structure for Generalization in Offline Reinforcement Learning

FANS is presented, a generalization-oriented structured network framework that promotes flatter and robust policy learning by guiding the optimization trajectory through modular architectural design and validate the effectiveness of FANS in mitigating overestimation and promoting generalization.

PACE: Unleashing the Power of Code Embeddings to Boost AutoML Agents

Large Language Model (LLM)-driven AutoML agents have shown strong capabilities in constructing end-to-end machine learning pipelines. However, their effectiveness is limited by costly execution-based feedback, which can make the search for high-quality solutions inefficient under restricted computational budgets. We pr...

LaRes: Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning with LLM-based Adaptive Reward Search

This work proposes LaRes, a novel hybrid framework that achieves efficient policy learning through reward function search by leveraging large language models to generate the reward function population, guiding RL in policy learning.
