Autonomous Navigation of Unmanned Vehicle Through Deep Reinforcement LearningLetian Xu, Jiabei Liu, Haopeng Zhao et al.
This paper explores the method of achieving autonomous navigation of unmanned vehicles through Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). The focus is on using the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm to address issues in high-dimensional continuous action spaces. The paper details the model of a Ackermann robot and the structure and application of the DDPG algorithm. Experiments were conducted in a simulation environment to verify the feasibility of the improved algorithm. The results demonstrate that the DDPG algorithm outperforms traditional Deep Q-Network (DQN) and Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) algorithms in path planning tasks.

Scaling Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning with Parallel Search and Explicit MergingJiabei Liu, Wenyu Mao, Junfei Tan et al.
Deep search agents have proven effective in enhancing LLMs by retrieving external knowledge during multi-step reasoning. However, existing methods often generate a single query for retrieval at each reasoning step, limiting information coverage and introducing high noise. This may result in low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) during search, degrading reasoning accuracy and leading to unnecessary reasoning steps. In this paper, we introduce MultiSearch, an RL-based framework that addresses these limitations through multi-query retrieval and explicit merging of retrieved information. At each reasoning step, MultiSearch generates queries from multiple perspectives and retrieves external information in parallel, expanding the scope of relevant information and mitigating the reliance on any single retrieval result. Then, the agent consolidates and refines retrieved information at the merging process, improving the SNR and ensuring more accurate reasoning. Additionally, we propose a reinforcement learning framework with a multi-process reward design to optimize agents for both multi-query retrieval and information consolidation. Extensive experiments on seven benchmarks demonstrate that MultiSearch outperforms baseline methods, enhancing the SNR of retrieval and improving reasoning performance in question-answering tasks.

Exploiting Diffusion Prior for Out-of-Distribution DetectionArmando Zhu, Jiabei Liu, Keqin Li et al.
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for deploying robust machine learning models, especially in areas where security is critical. However, traditional OOD detection methods often fail to capture complex data distributions from large scale date. In this paper, we present a novel approach for OOD detection that leverages the generative ability of diffusion models and the powerful feature extraction capabilities of CLIP. By using these features as conditional inputs to a diffusion model, we can reconstruct the images after encoding them with CLIP. The difference between the original and reconstructed images is used as a signal for OOD identification. The practicality and scalability of our method is increased by the fact that it does not require class-specific labeled ID data, as is the case with many other methods. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrates the robustness and effectiveness of our method, which have significantly improved the detection accuracy.
