Learning Intrusion Response Strategies for OT Systems

Researchers model OT intrusion response as a POMDP and train PPO-based automated response strategies effective against MITRE attacks in an emulated OT system.

The paper formalizes automated intrusion response for OT systems as a partially observable Markov decision process, with partial observability modeled from traffic measurements. Learning-based solution methods built on PPO are developed and evaluated on an emulated OT system. The resulting response strategies proved effective against several types of MITRE attacks for the studied use case.

DriveZero: End-to-End Driving Beyond Human Demonstrations

DriveZero pairs a frozen vision-foundation-model perception stack with a PPO-trained closed-loop RL teacher to beat replay experts on nuPlan.

DriveZero is an end-to-end camera-only autonomous-driving planner that separates perception and action. Its DriveVFM perception backbone consolidates frozen vision foundation models (DINOv3, SigLIP2, SAM, Depth Anything V2) from raw images without task annotations, while DriveRL trains a privileged PPO teacher policy through closed-loop rollouts in interactive worlds built from real driving logs. The planner distills this teacher, achieving a 93.57 mean nuPlan score across Val14, Test14-hard and Test14-random splits and beating the Log-Replay expert on all three. It also sets state of the art on NAVSIMv1, NAVSIMv2 and closed-loop HUGSIM without human trajectory supervision.

ASTRIL-MPC: Autonomous Traversal Framework of Articulated Tracked Robots with Language-Guided Neural-Kinematic MPC

ASTRIL-MPC combines learned kinematics, NMPC, and LLM-guided safety-checked retuning for articulated tracked robot traversal in search-and-rescue.

ASTRIL-MPC is a language-guided neural-kinematic model predictive control framework for autonomous traversal of articulated tracked robots in urban search and rescue. A learned kinematics model predicts short-horizon task-state increments, NMPC plans with feasibility constraints, and an LLM proposes bounded, safety-checked updates to weights and bounds. The compiled predictor enables a full control cycle within 100 ms, improving traversal-quality scores by up to 71% over non-adaptive NMPC and 67% over a PPO baseline while eliminating measurable collision impacts.

Decomposition-Guided Diffusion Language Models for Inertial Confinement Fusion Prediction

ICF-DLM, the first language-model-based inertial confinement fusion predictor, cuts peak-timing error from 11.6 to 9.2 steps versus LLaMA-3-8B.

Each National Ignition Facility shot costs roughly one million dollars, motivating accurate AI surrogates for predicting 512-step neutron-rate waveforms from laser pulses and target parameters. ICF-DLM combines physics-typed decomposition into yield, peak timing, and local waveform; bidirectional denoising that defers commitment to peak location; and a physics-driven PPO reward. On ICFBench (50,000 simulations plus 232 experimental shots) it outperforms a matched autoregressive LLaMA-3-8B, classical sequence models, and LLM-based time-series predictors.
