Beyond Episodic Evaluation: Memory Architectural Bottlenecks in Sequential Embodied Question Answering

Zikui Cai, Kaushal Janga, Tan Dat Dao, Seungjae Lee, Shivin Dass, Mingyo Seo, et al.

Embodied question answering (EQA) is traditionally evaluated under an episodic formulation, where agents solve each task independently and reset internal state between episodes. However, real-world robots operate continuously and must accumulate, retain, and selectively reuse inf…

Flash-BoN: Instant Drafts for Inference-Time Scaling in Diffusion Models

Ruchit Rawal, Reza Shirkavand, Sayak Paul, Yuxin Wen, Heng Huang, Yizheng Chen, et al.

Inference-time scaling for text-to-image generation has progressed from simple Best-of-$N$ (BoN) sampling to guided search methods that verify and steer candidate trajectories at intermediate denoising steps. These approaches focus on when and how often to verify during denoising…

Watermarking for Proprietary Dataset Protection

John Kirchenbauer, Brian R. Bartoldson, Bhavya Kailkhura, Tom Goldstein

A growing body of literature suggests that training data membership inference problems are fundamentally hard tasks in modern language modeling settings. We argue that output watermarking techniques are the right gadget to make training membership tests for generative models more…
