Numerous offline and model-based reinforcement learning systems incorporate world models to emulate the inherent environments. A world model is particularly important in scenarios where direct interactions with the real environment is costly, dangerous, or impractical. The efficacy and interpretability of such world models are notably contingent upon the quality of the underlying training data. In this context, we introduce Action Shapley as an agnostic metric for the judicious and unbiased selection of training data. To facilitate the computation […]

Real-time recurrent learning (RTRL) computes exact online gradients by propagating a Jacobian tensor forward through recurrent dynamics, but at O(n^4) cost per step. Prior work has sought structured approximations (rank-1 compression, graph-based sparsity, Kronecker factorization). We show that, in the continuous error signal regime, the recurrent Jacobian is massively redundant:propagating through a random 6% of paths (k=4 of n=64) recovers 84 +/- 6% of full RTRL’s adaptation ability across five seeds, and the absolute count k=4 remains effective […]

arXiv:2602.22230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Blockchains are widely used for secure transaction processing, but their scalability remains limited, and existing multichain designs are typically static even as demand and capacity shift. We cast blockchain configuration as a multiagent resource-allocation problem: applications and operators declare demand, capacity, and price bounds; an optimizer groups them into ephemeral chains each epoch and sets a chain-level clearing price. The objective maximizes a governance-weighted combination of normalized utilities for applications, operators, and the […]

The computational cost of stiff chemical kinetics remains a dominant bottleneck in reacting-flow simulation, yet hybrid integration strategies are typically driven by hand-tuned heuristics or supervised predictors that make myopic decisions from instantaneous local state. We introduce a constrained reinforcement learning (RL) framework that autonomously selects between an implicit BDF integrator (CVODE) and a quasi-steady-state (QSS) solver during chemistry integration. Solver selection is cast as a Markov decision process. The agent learns trajectory-aware policies that account for how […]

Table of Links Abstract and I. Introduction II. Methods III. Generation of Tendon Driven Grippers IV. Results and Discussion V. Conclusion and References V. CONCLUSION This paper explores the intricate process of designing robots, emphasizing the convergence of hardware and software in complex, conflicting criteria. We introduced a novel approach combining morphological computation, according to which the major portion of robots’ desired behavior can be achieved with the “body” instead of the “brain”, and generative design, highlighting the […]

arXiv:2602.21259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Underwater Vehicles (HUAUVs) have emerged as platforms capable of operating in both aerial and underwater environments, enabling applications such as inspection, mapping, search, and rescue in challenging scenarios. However, the development of novel methodologies poses significant challenges due to the distinct dynamics and constraints of the air and water domains. In this work, we present persistent monitoring tasks for HUAUVs by combining Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and Transfer Learning to […]

In this tutorial, we work with the amphora/ResearchMath-14k dataset, a collection of research-level mathematics problems mined from arXiv. We load the dataset, inspect its structure, and explore how the problems are distributed across mathematical fields and open-status categories. We then move beyond basic analysis by extracting field-specific keywords, generating semantic embeddings, visualizing the problem landscape, clustering related problems, and building a simple search engine over the dataset. Also, we train a classifier to predict problem status from embeddings […]
