Diffusion ReRoll: Revisable Denoising for Robotic Sequential Prediction

We propose Diffusion ReRoll, a diffusion-based framework for robotic sequential prediction that enables revisable denoising over horizons. Existing diffusion-based sequence predictors typically perform a single monotonic denoising process. In contrast, Diffusion ReRoll selectively re-noises regions that have become locally stable while the remaining regions continue denoising, so the re-noised regions can be refined again using context from the rest of the horizon. This structured re-noising enables iterative cross-horizon revision, allowing earlier and later segments to revise one another, while maintaining local consistency. We evaluate Diffusion ReRoll against full-sequence diffusion and causal denoising based on Diffusion Forcing across long-horizon planning, policy learning, and unified video-action modeling. On OGBench PointMaze and AntMaze, Diffusion ReRoll achieves relative gains in average success rate of 21% over Diffusion Forcing in matched guidance-based planning and 23% over Diffuser in matched goal-inpainting. In diffusion-policy-style action prediction, Diffusion ReRoll improves average success by 56.5% relative to Diffusion Policy across different prediction horizons and history lengths on the LIBERO-10 multi-task benchmark. In unified video-action prediction, Diffusion ReRoll improves policy and inverse dynamics performance, especially under out-of-distribution evaluation, and achieves the best action-video consistency. These results support structured re-noising as an effective mechanism for revisable robotic sequence generation.

Disentangled Multi-Context Meta-Learning: Unlocking robust and Generalized Task Learning

In meta-learning and its downstream tasks, many methods rely on implicit adaptation to task variations, where multiple factors are mixed together in a single entangled representation. This makes it difficult to interpret which factors drive performance and can hinder generalization. In this work, we introduce a disentangled multi-context meta-learning framework that explicitly assigns each task factor to a distinct context vector. By decoupling these variations, our approach improves robustness through deeper task understanding and enhances generalization by enabling context vector sharing across tasks with shared factors. We evaluate our approach in two domains. First, on a sinusoidal regression task, our model outperforms baselines on out-of-distribution tasks and generalizes to unseen sine functions by sharing context vectors associated with shared amplitudes or phase shifts. Second, in a quadruped robot locomotion task, we disentangle the robot-specific properties and the characteristics of the terrain in the robot dynamics model. By transferring disentangled context vectors acquired from the dynamics model into reinforcement learning, the resulting policy achieves improved robustness under out-of-distribution conditions, surpassing the baselines that rely on a single unified context. Furthermore, by effectively sharing context, our model enables successful sim-to-real policy transfer to challenging terrains with out-of-distribution robot-specific properties, using just 20 seconds of real data from flat terrain, a result not achievable with single-task adaptation.
