AI Agent Papers2026
Assesses whether coding agents can generate complete, playable games end-to-end inside the Godot engine. Implements an interaction-grounded evaluation (replayed demonstrations + rubric-guided multimodal judging) across 140 tasks and 15 game families; top agents score ~41%.
Embodied AI2026
Provides a harness that lets language models control embodied manipulation via iterative perception–reasoning–action loops, semantic action abstractions, and multimodal observations. Demonstrates distilling capabilities into a 4B open-source model with under 2K simulated trajectories and shows sim-to-real generalization.
Proposes ZPPO, a distillation method that keeps the teacher inside prompts rather than injecting teacher gradients, using binary- and negative-candidate prompts plus a prompt replay buffer to recover learning signal on hard examples; shows gains for small Qwen3.5 students across 31 multimodal benchmarks.
Provides a dual-path approach for spatial vision-language models: a Language-Only Reasoning (LOR) path for stepwise linguistic deduction and a Detect-Then-Reason (DTR) path that detects 3D cues via region tokens before numerical inference. Trains with chain-of-thought cold-start supervision and reinforcement learning to improve 3D grounding and multi-step spatial reasoning.
Evaluates multimodal LLMs' ability to reconstruct past observations and act in controllable non-Markov games. Introduces RNG-Bench with two games (Matching Pairs, 3D Maze), three controllable difficulty axes, a head-to-head duel protocol, and a Memory Gap metric to separate forgetting from action errors.
AI Video Papers2026
Serves interactive, long-lived streaming video-generation sessions by jointly scheduling session placement and GPU autoscaling to meet tight per-chunk latency. Combines migration-aware placement, load-driven autoscaling, coalesced chunk processing, GPU–CPU offloading and NCCL GPU–GPU migration; reports ~37% reductions in worst-case per-chunk latency and GPU operating cost.
AI Dataset2026
Provides pre-parsed arXiv LaTeX source files aligned with official metadata as ready-to-query Parquet rows. Bundles each paper's .tex/.bib/.sty etc. into a single readable tree, updates monthly, and simplifies large-scale access for LLM pretraining, document understanding, and citation analysis while requiring adherence to original arXiv licenses.

Provides multiview synthetic RGB video clips with per-frame depth, instance masks, dense long-range 3D point tracks, camera poses, and SMPL‑X human pose/shape labels for 4D reconstruction, tracking, and geometry-aware novel-view synthesis. Includes ~4.7K clips (1.4M frames) and is licensed for AI training.
Provides a rubric-based benchmark that converts dense image captions into instance-specific atomic checks (Must-Right and Easy-Wrong) and a gated scoring rule, aiming to expose perceptual brittleness and better align multimodal model evaluation with human judgment.
Proposes Monotonic Inference Policy Improvement (MIPI) and a two-step Monotonic Inference Policy Update (MIPU) to address training–inference probability mismatch in LLM reinforcement learning by constructing sampler-referenced candidate updates and accepting synchronized updates using an inference-gap proxy; shows improved reasoning accuracy and stability under FP8-quantized rollouts.
Treats hybrid layer selection as a budget-constrained subset optimization and introduces FlashMorph: a pipeline that equips each transformer layer with a linear-attention branch, jointly optimizes layerwise gates on synthetic long-context retrieval data, then discretizes, distills, and finetunes—achieving strong long-context recall using only 20M selection tokens.
Trains a transformer-based graph encoder with RL-guided adaptive masking so retrieved subgraphs embed relationships that better align with frozen LLM text encoders, improving GraphRAG performance with non-parametric retrievers on GraphQA benchmarks.
