Offline policy improvement faces an inherent conflict between maximizing value and fitting the data distribution. While in-sample weighted regression is stable, it suffers from over-conservatism that suppresses high-value actions in the distribution tail; conversely, gradient-based approaches often exhibit a fitting-optimization conflict of gradients, which drives the policy off the data manifold. To address this, we propose Support-Preserving Action Rectification (SPAR), which reframes global learning as a local residual rectification anchored to a frozen pure behavior cloning policy. This framework performs fine-grained fitting and local policy improvement in the residual space, thereby contracting the search space. We further introduce Latent Self-Imitation, utilizing a latent-sampling weighted-regression mechanism to address fitting-improvement gradient conflict in the residual space. Theoretically, we prove this mechanism eliminates the manifold-normal drift of standard value gradients, while extensive D4RL experiments show SPAR extracts significant gains from suboptimal baselines to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet aligning such abilities to small language models (SLMs) remains a challenge due to distributional mismatches and limited model capacity. Existing reasoning datasets, typically designed for powerful LLMs, often lead to degraded performance when directly applied to weaker models. In this work, we introduce Dynamic Adaptation of Reasoning Trajectories (DART), a novel data adaptation framework that bridges the capability gap between expert reasoning trajectories and diverse SLMs. Instead of uniformly imitating expert steps, DART employs a selective imitation strategy guided by step-wise adaptability estimation via solution simulation. When expert steps surpass the student's capacity -- signaled by an Imitation Gap -- the student autonomously explores alternative reasoning paths, constrained by outcome consistency. We validate DART across multiple reasoning benchmarks and model scales, demonstrating that it significantly improves generalization and data efficiency over static fine-tuning. Our method enhances supervision quality by aligning training signals with the student's reasoning capabilities, offering a scalable solution for reasoning alignment in resource-constrained models.

Recently, generative domain adaptation has achieved remarkable progress, enabling us to adapt a pre-trained generator to a new target domain. However, existing methods simply adapt the generator to a single target domain and are limited to a single modality, either text-driven or image-driven. Moreover, they cannot maintain well consistency with the source domain, which impedes the inheritance of the diversity. In this paper, we propose UniHDA, a \textbf{unified} and \textbf{versatile} framework for generative hybrid domain adaptation with multi-modal references from multiple domains. We use CLIP encoder to project multi-modal references into a unified embedding space and then linearly interpolate the direction vectors from multiple target domains to achieve hybrid domain adaptation. To ensure \textbf{consistency} with the source domain, we propose a novel cross-domain spatial structure (CSS) loss that maintains detailed spatial structure information between source and target generator. Experiments show that the adapted generator can synthesise realistic images with various attribute compositions. Additionally, our framework is generator-agnostic and versatile to multiple generators, e.g., StyleGAN, EG3D, and Diffusion Models.
