Beyond World-Frame Action Heads: Motion-Centric Action Frames for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have advanced rapidly with stronger backbones, broader pre-training, and larger demonstration datasets, yet their action heads remain largely homogeneous: most directly predict action commands in a fixed world coordinate frame. We propose \textbf{MCF-Proto}, a lightweight action head that equips VLA policies with a Motion-Centric Action Frame (MCF) and a prototype-based action parameterization. At each step, the policy predicts a rotation $R_t \in SO(3)$, composes actions in the transformed local frame from a set of prototypes, and maps them back to the world frame for end-to-end training, using only standard demonstrations without auxiliary supervision. This simple design induces stable emergent structure. Without explicit directional labels, the learned local frames develop a stable geometric structure whose axes are strongly compatible with demonstrated end-effector motion. Meanwhile, actions in the learned representation become substantially more compact, with variation captured by fewer dominant directions and more regularly organized by shared prototypes. These structural properties translate into improved robustness, especially under geometric perturbations. Our results suggest that adding lightweight geometric and compositional structure to the action head can materially improve how VLA policies organize and generalize robotic manipulation behavior. An anonymized code repository is provided in the supplementary material.

TSNN: A Non-parametric and Interpretable Framework for Traffic Time Series Forecasting

Although many complex models were proposed to analyze time series data, some studies have demonstrated remarkable performance with simpler structures. A recent study proposed a non-parametric framework for 3D point cloud classification, which has the potential to be adapted for time series forecasting and enable interpretability. Inspired by the previous works, we present TSNN, a non-parametric and interpretable framework for traffic time series forecasting. TSNN consists of multiple layers that decouple the time series by matching the entries in a memory bank, where the memory bank is constructed using a similar matching process within the training set. It leverages the periodicity in traffic data to enhance forecasting accuracy while maintaining a simple model architecture. The proposed model operates without trainable parameters, preserving its inherent interpretability. In the experiments, TSNN achieves competitive performance compared to the typical deep learning models in four real-world traffic flow datasets. We also visualize the decoupling process to show the effectiveness of the components. Finally, we demonstrate the interpretability of the model and illustrate the contribution of each time step within the memory bank.

Distance Guided Generative Adversarial Network for Explainable Binary Classifications

Despite the potential benefits of data augmentation for mitigating the data insufficiency, traditional augmentation methods primarily rely on the prior intra-domain knowledge. On the other hand, advanced generative adversarial networks (GANs) generate inter-domain samples with limited variety. These previous methods make limited contributions to describing the decision boundaries for binary classification. In this paper, we propose a distance guided GAN (DisGAN) which controls the variation degrees of generated samples in the hyperplane space. Specifically, we instantiate the idea of DisGAN by combining two ways. The first way is vertical distance GAN (VerDisGAN) where the inter-domain generation is conditioned on the vertical distances. The second way is horizontal distance GAN (HorDisGAN) where the intra-domain generation is conditioned on the horizontal distances. Furthermore, VerDisGAN can produce the class-specific regions by mapping the source images to the hyperplane. Experimental results show that DisGAN consistently outperforms the GAN-based augmentation methods with explainable binary classification. The proposed method can apply to different classification architectures and has potential to extend to multi-class classification.

Discovery-and-Selection: Towards Optimal Multiple Instance Learning for Weakly Supervised Object Detection

Weakly supervised object detection (WSOD) is a challenging task that requires simultaneously learn object classifiers and estimate object locations under the supervision of image category labels. A major line of WSOD methods roots in multiple instance learning which regards images as bags of instances and selects positive instances from each bag to learn the detector. However, a grand challenge emerges when the detector inclines to converge to discriminative parts of objects rather than the whole objects. In this paper, under the hypothesis that optimal solutions are included in local minima, we propose a discovery-and-selection approach fused with multiple instance learning (DS-MIL), which finds rich local minima and select optimal solution from multiple local minima. To implement DS-MIL, an attention module is proposed so that more context information can be captured by feature maps and more valuable proposals can be collected during training. With proposal candidates, a selection module is proposed to select informative instances for object detector. Experimental results on commonly used benchmarks show that our proposed DS-MIL approach can consistently improve the baselines, reporting state-of-the-art performance.

Leverage Your Local and Global Representations: A New Self-Supervised Learning Strategy

Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods aim to learn view-invariant representations by maximizing the similarity between the features extracted from different crops of the same image regardless of cropping size and content. In essence, this strategy ignores the fact that two crops may truly contain different image information, e.g., background and small objects, and thus tends to restrain the diversity of the learned representations. In this work, we address this issue by introducing a new self-supervised learning strategy, LoGo, that explicitly reasons about Local and Global crops. To achieve view invariance, LoGo encourages similarity between global crops from the same image, as well as between a global and a local crop. However, to correctly encode the fact that the content of smaller crops may differ entirely, LoGo promotes two local crops to have dissimilar representations, while being close to global crops. Our LoGo strategy can easily be applied to existing SSL methods. Our extensive experiments on a variety of datasets and using different self-supervised learning frameworks validate its superiority over existing approaches. Noticeably, we achieve better results than supervised models on transfer learning when using only 1/10 of the data.
