arXiv:2603.12758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable multi-object tracking (MOT) is essential for robotic systems operating in complex and dynamic environments. Despite recent advances in detection and association, online MOT methods remain vulnerable to identity switches caused by frequent occlusions and object overlap, where incorrect associations can propagate over time and degrade tracking reliability. We present a lightweight post-association correction framework (FC-Track) for online MOT that explicitly targets overlap-induced mismatches during inference. The proposed method suppresses unreliable appearance updates under high-overlap conditions using an Intersection over Area (IoA)-based filtering strategy, and locally corrects detection-to-tracklet mismatches through appearance similarity comparison within overlapped tracklet pairs. By preventing short-term mismatches from propagating, our framework effectively mitigates long-term identity switches without resorting to global optimization or re-identification. The framework operates online without global optimization or re-identification, making it suitable for real-time robotic applications. We achieve 81.73 MOTA, 82.81 IDF1, and 66.95 HOTA on the MOT17 test set with a running speed of 5.7 FPS, and 77.52 MOTA, 80.90 IDF1, and 65.67 HOTA on the MOT20 test set with a running speed of 0.6 FPS. Specifically, our framework FC-Track produces only 29.55% long-term identity switches, which is substantially lower than existing online trackers. Meanwhile, our framework maintains state-of-the-art performance on the MOT20 benchmark.

arXiv:2510.24118v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Navigating to a designated goal using visual information is a fundamental capability for intelligent robots. To address the practical demands of multi-modal, open-vocabulary goal queries and multi-goal visual navigation, we propose LagMemo, a navigation system that leverages a language 3D Gaussian Splatting memory. During a one-time exploration, LagMemo constructs a unified 3D language memory with robust spatial-semantic correlations. With incoming task goals, the system efficiently queries the memory, predicts candidate goal locations, and integrates a local perception-based verification mechanism to dynamically match and validate goals. For fair and rigorous evaluation, we curate GOAT-Core, a high-quality core split distilled from GOAT-Bench. Experimental results show that LagMemo's memory module enables effective multi-modal open-vocabulary localization, and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in multi-goal visual navigation.

arXiv:2602.13575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current alignment methods for Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on compressing vast amounts of human preference data into static, absolute reward functions, leading to data scarcity, noise sensitivity, and training instability. We introduce Elo-Evolve, a co-evolutionary framework that redefines alignment as dynamic multi-agent competition within an adaptive opponent pool. Our approach makes two key innovations: (1) eliminating Bradley-Terry model dependencies by learning directly from binary win/loss outcomes in pairwise competitions, and (2) implementing Elo-orchestrated opponent selection that provides automatic curriculum learning through temperature-controlled sampling. We ground our approach in PAC learning theory, demonstrating that pairwise comparison achieves superior sample complexity and empirically validate a 4.5x noise reduction compared to absolute scoring approaches. Experimentally, we train a Qwen2.5-7B model using our framework with opponents including Qwen2.5-14B, Qwen2.5-32B, and Qwen3-8B models. Results demonstrate a clear performance hierarchy: point-based methods
