Mode-as-Sequence: Translating Multimodal Motion Prediction into Unified Sequential Mode Modeling

arXiv:2605.24037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal motion forecasting is inherently under-supervised: each training scene provides only one realized future, yet multiple plausible futures exist. This sparse supervision often leads to mode collapse (redundant hypotheses and insufficient mode coverage) and unreliable confidence ranking when predicting a small set of trajectories. We propose Mode-as-Sequence, a unified decoding framework that translates an unordered mode set into an ordered mode sequence and explicitly models mode-to-mode dependency. Under this framework, we develop two complementary instantiations. ModeSeq performs recurrent mode decoding, where each mode is generated conditioned on the previously generated modes, encouraging diverse, non-redundant hypotheses with calibrated confidence ordering. To remove the mode-by-mode autoregressive bottleneck, we further propose Parallel ModeSeq, which preserves the same causal dependency using masked mode-to-mode self-attention while decoding all modes in a single forward pass, enabling efficient large-$K$ inference and scalable joint-scene prediction. To learn representative modes and calibrated confidence under sparse labels, we introduce Early-Match-Take-All (EMTA) and its joint-scene extension MA-EMTA, together with a lightweight ranking regularizer that reduces confidence inversions. Extensive experiments on large-scale benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements in both ranking-oriented metrics and best-of-K accuracy across datasets, horizons, and object types. In the Waymo Open Dataset challenges, ModeSeq achieves 1st place in the 2024 LiDAR-free motion prediction track, and Parallel ModeSeq achieves 1st place in the 2025 Interaction Prediction Challenge, validating the effectiveness of Mode-as-Sequence for both accuracy and efficiency.

CollectionLoRA: Collecting 50 Effects in 1 LoRA via Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2605.25378v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Customized image editing aims to equip pre-trained diffusion models with specific visual effects using limited paired data, typically via Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). As the number of desired effects grows, storing and dynamically loading numerous these effect LoRAs significantly increases deployment overhead. Furthermore, current pipelines typically cascade these effect LoRAs with acceleration modules for fast generation, which triggers severe parameter interference and results in concept bleeding and style degradation. We propose CollectionLoRA, a multi-teacher on-policy distillation framework capable of distilling the concepts of up to 50 different effect LoRAs along with few-step generation capabilities into a single LoRA. This fundamentally resolves the feature interference issue and significantly reduces deployment costs. Specifically, the method introduces (i) a Probabilistic Dual-Stream Routing mechanism that enables the model to randomly switch between data sources during training, effectively enhancing its generalization in unseen scenarios; (ii) an Asymmetric Orthogonal Prompting strategy to achieve concept isolation within the prompt space; (iii) a Coarse-to-Fine Distillation Objective to mitigate the distribution gap between the teacher and student models. Extensive evaluations show that CollectionLoRA distills all customized effects and few-step generation into a single LoRA, reducing deployment overhead while achieving concept fidelity comparable to or better than independently trained teacher models.

AMA-Bench: Evaluating Long-Horizon Memory for Agentic Applications

arXiv:2602.22769v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are deployed as autonomous agents in increasingly complex applications, where enabling long-horizon memory is critical for achieving strong performance. However, a significant gap exists between applications and evaluation standards for agent memory: existing benchmarks primarily focus on dialogue-centric settings. In reality, agent memory consists of a continuous stream of agent-environment interactions that are primarily composed of machine-generated representations. To bridge this gap, we introduce AMA-Bench (Agent Memory with Any Length), a benchmark designed to evaluate long-horizon memory for LLMs in real agentic applications. It features two key components: (1) a set of real-world agentic trajectories across representative agentic applications, paired with expert-curated QA, and (2) a set of synthetic agentic trajectories of arbitrary horizons paired with rule-based QA. Our comprehensive study shows that existing memory systems underperform on AMA-Bench primarily because they lack causality and objective information, and are constrained by the lossy nature of similarity-based retrieval employed by many memory systems. To address these limitations, we propose AMA-Agent, an effective memory system featuring a causality graph and tool-augmented retrieval. Our results demonstrate that AMA-Agent achieves 57.22% average accuracy on AMA-Bench, surpassing the strongest baselines by 11.16%.

Beyond the Proxy: Trajectory-Distilled Guidance for Offline GFlowNet Training

arXiv:2505.20110v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) excel at sampling diverse, high-reward objects. In many practical applications where active reward queries are infeasible, these models must be trained using static offline datasets. Prevailing training methods typically rely on a proxy model to provide reward feedback for online sampled trajectories. However, constructing a reliable proxy is often challenging due to data scarcity or high evaluation costs. While existing proxy-free approaches attempt to address this, they often impose coarse constraints that limit the model's ability to explore effectively. To overcome these limitations, we propose Trajectory-Distilled GFlowNet (TD-GFN), a novel proxy-free training framework. TD-GFN utilizes inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) to extract dense, transition-level edge rewards from offline trajectories, providing rich structural guidance for efficient exploration. Crucially, to ensure robustness, these rewards guide the policy indirectly through DAG pruning and prioritized backward sampling. This design ensures that gradient updates rely exclusively on ground-truth terminal rewards from the dataset, thereby preventing error propagation. Empirical results demonstrate that TD-GFN significantly outperforms a broad range of existing baselines in both convergence speed and sample quality, establishing a more robust and efficient paradigm for offline GFlowNet training.

PowerFlow: Unlocking the Dual Nature of LLMs via Principled Distribution Matching

arXiv:2603.18363v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning from Internal Feedback (RLIF) has emerged as a promising paradigm for eliciting the latent capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) without external supervision. However, current methods rely on heuristic intrinsic rewards, which often lack a well-defined theoretical optimization target and are prone to degenerative biases. In this work, we introduce PowerFlow, a principled framework that reformulates unsupervised fine-tuning as a distribution matching problem. By casting GFlowNet as an amortized variational sampler for unnormalized densities, we propose a length-aware Trajectory-Balance objective that explicitly neutralizes the structural length biases inherent in autoregressive generation. By targeting $\alpha$-power distributions, PowerFlow enables the directional elicitation of the dual nature of LLMs: sharpening the distribution ($\alpha > 1$) to intensify logical reasoning, or flattening it ($\alpha
