NEXUS: Continual Learning of Symbolic Constraints for Safe and Robust Embodied Planning

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have catalyzed progress in embodied intelligence, a fundamental gap between their inherent probabilistic uncertainty and the strict determinism and verifiable safety required in the physical world. To mitigate this gap, this paper introduces NEXUS, a modular framework designed for continual learning in embodied agents. Different from prior works that treat symbolic artifacts merely as static interfaces, NEXUS leverages them for symbolic grounding and knowledge evolution. The framework explicitly decouples physical feasibility from safety specifications: capability of agents is improved through closed-loop execution feedback, while probabilistic risk assessments are grounded into deterministic hard constraints to establish a rigorous pre-action defense. Experiments on SafeAgentBench demonstrate that NEXUS achieves superior task success rates while effectively refusing unsafe instructions, exhibiting robust defense against adversarial attacks, and progressively improving planning efficiency through knowledge accumulation.

GPPF: A General Perception Pre-training Framework via Sparsely Activated Multi-Task Learning

Pre-training over mixtured multi-task, multi-domain, and multi-modal data remains an open challenge in vision perception pre-training. In this paper, we propose GPPF, a General Perception Pre-training Framework, that pre-trains a task-level dynamic network, which is composed by knowledge "legos" in each layers, on labeled multi-task and multi-domain datasets. By inspecting humans' innate ability to learn in complex environment, we recognize and transfer three critical elements to deep networks: (1) simultaneous exposure to diverse cross-task and cross-domain information in each batch. (2) partitioned knowledge storage in separate lego units driven by knowledge sharing. (3) sparse activation of a subset of lego units for both pre-training and downstream tasks. Noteworthy, the joint training of disparate vision tasks is non-trivial due to their differences in input shapes, loss functions, output formats, data distributions, etc. Therefore, we innovatively develop a plug-and-play multi-task training algorithm, which supports Single Iteration Multiple Tasks (SIMT) concurrently training. SIMT lays the foundation of pre-training with large-scale multi-task multi-domain datasets and is proved essential for stable training in our GPPF experiments. Excitingly, the exhaustive experiments show that, our GPPF-R50 model achieves significant improvements of 2.5-5.8 over a strong baseline of the 8 pre-training tasks in GPPF-15M and harvests a range of SOTAs over the 22 downstream tasks with similar computation budgets. We also validate the generalization ability of GPPF to SOTA vision transformers with consistent improvements. These solid experimental results fully prove the effective knowledge learning, storing, sharing, and transfer provided by our novel GPPF framework.
