From Sparse Rewards to Precise Mastery: How DEMO3 is Revolutionizing Robotic Manipulation

[ad_1] Long-horizon robotic manipulation tasks are a serious challenge for reinforcement learning, caused mainly by sparse rewards, high-dimensional action-state spaces, and the challenge of designing useful reward functions. Conventional reinforcement learning is not well-suited to handle efficient exploration since the lack of feedback hinders learning optimal policies. This issue is significant in robotic control tasks … Read more

Alibaba Researchers Introduce R1-Omni: An Application of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) to an Omni-Multimodal Large Language Model

[ad_1] Emotion recognition from video involves many nuanced challenges. Models that depend exclusively on either visual or audio signals often miss the intricate interplay between these modalities, leading to misinterpretations of emotional content. A key difficulty is reliably combining visual cues—such as facial expressions or body language—with auditory signals like tone or intonation. Many existing … Read more
