Latent Actions from Factorized Transition Effects under Agent Ambiguity

Heejeong Nam, Chandradithya S Jonnalagadda, Harshit Aggarwal, Eric Xu, Randall Balestriero

Latent Action Models (LAMs) learn action-like proxies from observation transitions. However, in multi-object or distractor-rich scenes, these visual effects mix agent motion with distractors, camera dynamics, and background changes, making the underlying action source ambiguous without supervision. Structuring this mixture as reusable transition effects provides an intermediate representation from which action-like latents can be more robustly formed. We introduce Observed Transition Factorization (OTF), which decomposes each transition into a sparse set of observed transition primitives. Using these primitives as the transition interface, we propose OTF-LAM, which abstracts motion primitives into action-like latents within the standard inverse-forward dynamics framework, and OTF-LAM-Dino, a decoder-free variant that predicts future states in a frozen DINOv2 representation space. Empirically, OTF primitives transfer zeroshot across controlled carrier and morphology shifts, showing reusability. Furthermore, downstream policy learning results match or outperform baselines under complex transition ambiguity.

Agent Security Needs Redefinition through a Holistic Framework

Vincent Siu, Jingxuan He, Kyle Montgomery, Zhun Wang, Chenguang Wang, Dawn Song

Agent security is widely treated as a question about action content. Defenses ask whether an instruction looks malicious. Benchmarks ask whether an agent performs a harmful sounding action. \textbf{We argue that agent security is fundamentally a contextual problem, and that the c…

AttriMem: Attribution-Guided Process Feedback for Agent Memory Learning

Qinfeng Li, Yuntai Bao, Xinyan Yu, Hongze Chen, Wenqi Zhang, Xuhong Zhang

Effective memory is crucial for LLM agents, yet constructing it effectively remains challenging. A memory-construction policy decides what information to extract, store, update, compress, or discard as interactions accumulate. Heuristic memory methods rely on subjective, task-spe…

Modern reasoning models depend on reasoning data, today sourced from human annotations or distilled from stronger LLMs. However, a rich and largely untapped source of supervision lies in expert systems (e.g., game engines, classical planners, theorem provers), which routinely pro…
