The rapid evolution of multimodal large models has revolutionized the simulation of diverse characters in speech dialogue systems, enabling a novel interactive paradigm. Character attributes are manifested not only in textual responses but also through vocal features, as speech conveys rich paralinguistic information that is challenging to quantify. This poses significant difficulties in evaluating the character alignment of role-playing agents. To address these challenges, we present RoleJudge, an evaluation framework that leverages audio large language models to systematically […]

Soft Q-learning has emerged as a versatile model-free method for entropy-regularised reinforcement learning, optimising for returns augmented with a penalty on the divergence from a reference policy. Despite its success, the multi-step extensions of soft Q-learning remain relatively unexplored and limited to on-policy action sampling under the Boltzmann policy. In this brief research note, we first present a formal $n$-step formulation for soft Q-learning and then extend this framework to the fully off-policy case by introducing a novel […]

We propose a new partial-observability model for online learning problems where the learner, besides its own loss, also observes some noisy feedback about the other actions, depending on the underlying structure of the problem. We represent this structure by a weighted directed graph, where the edge weights are related to the quality of the feedback shared by the connected nodes. Our main contribution is an efficient algorithm that guarantees a regret of $widetilde{O}(sqrt{α^* T})$ after $T$ rounds, where […]

Google is changing the way we think about browsers. Instead of just being a place to access websites, Chrome is trying to become more interactive by introducing “Skills.” The company has made it clear that it wants AI to be part of your everyday browsing, not just something you use in separate chat windows. It will help you create structured, reusable instructions that act more like shortcuts than conversations. At its core, this feature makes Chrome even more […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) enables high-frequency, closed-loop control for robotic manipulation, but scaling to long-horizon tasks with sparse or imperfect rewards remains difficult due to inefficient exploration and poor credit assignment. Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models leverage large-scale multimodal pretraining to provide generalist, task-level reasoning, but current limitations hinder their direct use in fast and precise manipulation. In this paper, we propose Vision-Language-Action Jump-Starting (VLAJS), a method that bridges sparse VLA guidance with on-policy RL to improve exploration and learning efficiency. […]

Let $ xi(z) $ be the Riemann xi function. In a previous paper we prove the boundedness of coefficients of the power series expansion of $ xi'(1/z)/xi(1/z) $ and thus give a proof of the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper we generalize the method there to the study of the extended Riemann hypothesis for general number fields.

Network access control and identity legitimacy verification have been implemented by establishing a secure foundation for the trusted establishment of communication entities. However, successful identity authentication alone does not guarantee secure communication. In open-network environments, it remains essential to establish a secure session key via a robust key agreement mechanism—one that prevents explicit disclosure of identity information while ensuring post-quantum security. To address these requirements, we propose a lattice-based key agreement protocol. The protocol integrates identity binding, implicit […]
