FastDSAC: Unlocking the Potential of Maximum Entropy RL in High-Dimensional Humanoid Control

Scaling Maximum Entropy Reinforcement Learning (RL) to high-dimensional humanoid control remains a fundamental challenge, as the ''curse of dimensionality'' induces severe exploration inefficiency and training instability. Consequently, highly optimized deterministic policy gradients currently dominate high-throughput regimes. We address this limitation with FastDSAC, a framework that effectively unlocks the potential of maximum entropy stochastic policies for complex continuous control. We introduce Dimension-wise Entropy Modulation (DEM) to dynamically redistribute the exploration budget, alongside a continuous distributional critic tailored to ensure accurate value estimation by mitigating both high-dimensional overestimation and discrete quantization artifacts. Extensive evaluations on HumanoidBench and a diverse set of continuous control tasks demonstrate that FastDSAC establishes state-of-the-art performance for high-dimensional stochastic policies on the evaluated benchmarks. Our method is competitive with and often outperforms strong deterministic baselines, with gains of 180% and 350% on the challenging Basketball and Balance Hard tasks, respectively.

Visual Prompt-Agnostic Evolution

Visual Prompt Tuning (VPT) adapts a frozen Vision Transformer (ViT) to downstream tasks by inserting a small number of learnable prompt tokens into the token sequence at each layer. However, we observe that existing VPT variants often suffer from unstable training dynamics, characterized by gradient oscillations. A layer-wise analysis reveals that shallow-layer prompts tend to stagnate early, while deeper-layer prompts exhibit high-variance oscillations, leading to cross-layer mismatch. These issues slow convergence and degrade final performance. To address these challenges, we propose Prompt-Agnostic Evolution ($\mathtt{PAE}$), which strengthens vision prompt tuning by explicitly modeling prompt dynamics. From a frequency-domain perspective, we initialize prompts in a task-aware direction by uncovering and propagating frequency shortcut patterns that the backbone inherently exploits for recognition. To ensure coherent evolution across layers, we employ a shared Koopman operator that imposes a global linear transformation instead of uncoordinated, layer-specific updates. Finally, inspired by Lyapunov stability theory, we introduce a regularizer that constrains error amplification during evolution. Extensive experiments show that $\mathtt{PAE}$ accelerates convergence with an average $1.41\times$ speedup and improves accuracy by 1-3% on 25 datasets across multiple downstream tasks. Beyond performance, $\mathtt{PAE}$ is prompt-agnostic and lightweight, and it integrates seamlessly with diverse VPT variants without backbone modification or inference-time changes.

Hypergraph Tversky-Aware Domain Incremental Learning for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Missing Modalities

Existing methods for multimodal MRI segmentation with missing modalities typically assume that all MRI modalities are available during training. However, in clinical practice, some modalities may be missing due to the sequential nature of MRI acquisition, leading to performance degradation. Furthermore, retraining models to accommodate newly available modalities can be inefficient and may cause overfitting, potentially compromising previously learned knowledge. To address these challenges, we propose Replay-based Hypergraph Domain Incremental Learning (ReHyDIL) for brain tumor segmentation with missing modalities. ReHyDIL leverages Domain Incremental Learning (DIL) to enable the segmentation model to learn from newly acquired MRI modalities without forgetting previously learned information. To enhance segmentation performance across diverse patient scenarios, we introduce the Cross-Patient Hypergraph Segmentation Network (CHSNet), which utilizes hypergraphs to capture high-order associations between patients. Additionally, we incorporate Tversky-Aware Contrastive (TAC) loss to effectively mitigate information imbalance both across and within different modalities. Extensive experiments on the BraTS2019 dataset demonstrate that ReHyDIL outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving an improvement of over 2% in the Dice Similarity Coefficient across various tumor regions. Our code is available at https://github.com/reeive/ReHyDIL.
