Constrained hybrid-action reinforcement learning (RL) promises to learn a safe policy within a parameterized action space, which is particularly valuable for safety-critical applications involving discrete-continuous hybrid action spaces. However, existing hybrid-action RL algorithms primarily focus on reward maximization, which faces significant challenges for tasks involving both cost constraints and hybrid action spaces. In this work, we propose a novel Constrained Hybrid-action Policy Optimization algorithm (CHPO) to address the problems of constrained hybrid-action RL. Concretely, we rethink the limitations of hybrid-action RL in handling safe tasks with parameterized action spaces and reframe the objective of constrained hybrid-action RL by introducing the concept of Constrained Parameterized-action Markov Decision Process (CPMDP). Subsequently, we present a constrained hybrid-action policy optimization algorithm to confront the constrained hybrid-action problems and conduct theoretical analyses demonstrating that the CHPO converges to the optimal solution while satisfying safety constraints. Finally, extensive experiments demonstrate that the CHPO achieves competitive performance across multiple experimental tasks.

Pose-free Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) aims at novel view synthesis (NVS) without relying on accurate poses, exhibiting significant practical value. Image and LiDAR point cloud are two pivotal modalities in autonomous driving scenarios. While demonstrating impressive performance, single-modality pose-free NeRFs often suffer from local optima due to the limited geometric information provided by dense image textures or the sparse, textureless nature of point clouds. Although prior methods have explored the complementary strengths of both modalities, they have only leveraged inherently sparse point clouds for discrete, non-pixel-wise depth supervision, and are limited to NVS of images. As a result, a Multimodal Unified Pose-free framework remains notably absent. In light of this, we propose MUP, a pose-free framework for LiDAR-Camera joint NVS in large-scale scenes. This unified framework enables continuous depth supervision for image reconstruction using LiDAR-Fields rather than discrete point clouds. By leveraging multimodal inputs, pose optimization receives gradients from the rendering loss of point cloud geometry and image texture, thereby alleviating the issue of local optima commonly encountered in single-modality pose-free tasks. Moreover, to further guide pose optimization of NeRF, we propose a multimodal geometric optimizer that leverages geometric relations from point clouds and photometric regularization from adjacent image frames. Besides, to alleviate the domain gap between modalities, we propose a multimodal-specific coarse-to-fine training approach for unified, compact reconstruction. Extensive experiments on KITTI-360 and NuScenes datasets demonstrate MUP's superiority in accomplishing geometry-aware, modality-consistent, and pose-free 3D reconstruction.

In real-world environments, a well-designed model must be capable of handling dynamically evolving distributions, where both in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) samples appear unpredictably and individually, making real-time adaptation particularly challenging. While open-set test-time adaptation has demonstrated effectiveness in adjusting to distribution shifts, existing methods often rely on batch processing and struggle to manage single-sample data stream in open-set environments. To address this limitation, we propose Open-IRT, a novel open-set Intermediate-Representation-based Test-time adaptation framework tailored for single-image test-time adaptation with vision-language models. Open-IRT comprises two key modules designed for dynamic, single-sample adaptation in open-set scenarios. The first is Polarity-aware Prompt-based OOD Filter module, which fully constructs the ID-OOD distribution, considering both the absolute semantic alignment and relative semantic polarity. The second module, Intermediate Domain-based Test-time Adaptation module, constructs an intermediate domain and indirectly decomposes the ID-OOD distributional discrepancy to refine the separation boundary during the test-time. Extensive experiments on a range of domain adaptation benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of Open-IRT. Compared to previous state-of-the-art methods, it achieves significant improvements on representative benchmarks, such as CIFAR-100C and SVHN — with gains of +8. 45\% in accuracy, -10. 80\% in FPR95, and +11. 04\% in AUROC.
