Generalizable Audio-Visual Navigation via Binaural Difference Attention and Action Transition Prediction
In Audio-Visual Navigation (AVN), agents must locate sound sources in unseen 3D environments using visual and auditory cues. However, existing methods often struggle with generalization in unseen scenarios, as they tend to overfit to semantic sound features and specific training environments. To address these challenges, we propose the \textbf{Binaural Difference Attention with Action Transition Prediction (BDATP)} framework, which jointly optimizes perception and policy. Specifically, the \textbf{Binaural Difference Attention (BDA)} module explicitly models interaural differences to enhance spatial orientation, reducing reliance on semantic categories. Simultaneously, the \textbf{Action Transition Prediction (ATP)} task introduces an auxiliary action prediction objective as a regularization term, mitigating environment-specific overfitting. Extensive experiments on the Replica and Matterport3D datasets demonstrate that BDATP can be seamlessly integrated into various mainstream baselines, yielding consistent and significant performance gains. Notably, our framework achieves state-of-the-art Success Rates across most settings, with a remarkable absolute improvement of up to 21.6 percentage points in Replica dataset for unheard sounds. These results underscore BDATP's superior generalization capability and its robustness across diverse navigation architectures.
Kimi K2.5: Visual Agentic Intelligence
We introduce Kimi K2.5, an open-source multimodal agentic model designed to advance general agentic intelligence. K2.5 emphasizes the joint optimization of text and vision so that two modalities enhance each other. This includes a series of techniques such as joint text-vision pre-training, zero-vision SFT, and joint text-vision reinforcement learning. Building on this multimodal foundation, K2.5 introduces Agent Swarm, a self-directed parallel agent orchestration framework that dynamically decomposes complex tasks into heterogeneous sub-problems and executes them concurrently. Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K2.5 achieves state-of-the-art results across various domains including coding, vision, reasoning, and agentic tasks. Agent Swarm also reduces latency by up to $4.5\times$ over single-agent baselines. We release the post-trained Kimi K2.5 model checkpoint to facilitate future research and real-world applications of agentic intelligence.
