A Generalisation Signal Need Not Be a Model-Selection Signal

Model selection in computational biology often relies on validation data drawn from the training regime, even when deployment lies outside it. When validation no longer preserves which model is best, a natural alternative is to rank candidates using properties of the trained network itself. We test this idea using a novel, forward-only proxy motivated by the norm of the Hessian, alongside common…

Beyond Prediction: Steering VLM Agents with Retrospective World Modeling

Equipping VLM agents with world modeling capabilities has shown strong potential for complex reasoning and long-horizon planning, while reducing the dependence of policy learning on costly real-world interactions. Existing methods mainly rely on prospective simulation to predict the consequences of candidate actions.
