The neurocomputational mechanisms underlying the impact of social comparison on effort investment

Jiarui Dong, Yachao Rong, Shikui Ma, Yang Xu et autres

Previous research has shown that favorable monetary outcomes relative to others enhance neural responses; however, these paradigms often confound the subjective utility of social comparison with absolute reward magnitude. It remains unclear how performance-based social comparisons modulate an individual's self-efficacy and the …

Unseen From Seen: Rewriting Observation-Instruction Using Foundation Models for Augmenting Vision-Language Navigation

Ziming Wei, Bingqian Lin, Yunshuang Nie, Jiaqi Chen et autres

Data scarcity is a long-standing challenge in the vision-language navigation (VLN) field, which extremely hinders the generalization of agents to unseen environments. Previous works primarily rely on additional simulator data or web-collected images/videos to improve the generalization. However, the simulator environments still …

Unsymmetric thieno-phospha-rhodamines: a new class of near-infrared fluorescent probes for stimuli-responsive organelle imaging

Shikui Ma, Yuichi Asada, Shigehiro Yamaguchi, Masayasu Taki

We report thieno-phospha-rhodamine (TPR) dyes as a novel class of near-infrared (NIR)-emissive fluorophores featuring an unsymmetric π-skeleton. TPR dyes exhibit emission maxima near 800 nm, large Stokes shifts, and excellent photostability. Notably, TPR-Et displays dual organelle localization that dynamically responds to changes …

PIVOT-R: Primitive-Driven Waypoint-Aware World Model for Robotic Manipulation

Kaidong Zhang, Pengzhen Ren, Bingqian Lin, Junfan Lin et autres

Language-guided robotic manipulation is a challenging task that requires an embodied agent to follow abstract user instructions to accomplish various complex manipulation tasks. Previous work trivially fitting the data without revealing the relation between instruction and low-level executable actions, these models are …

Correctable Landmark Discovery via Large Models for Vision-Language Navigation

Bingqian Lin, Yunshuang Nie, Ziming Wei, Hang Xu et autres

Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) requires the agent to follow language instructions to reach a target position. A key factor for successful navigation is to align the landmarks implied in the instruction with diverse visual observations. However, previous VLN agents fail to perform accurate …
