解决视觉语言动作模型分块执行时的边界抖动问题。
ChunkFlow: Towards Continuity-Consistent Chunked Policy Learning

- 分块结构设计三区:冻结、可编辑、未来,实现无缝衔接。
- 引入连续性损失与历史扰动训练,成功率提升12%以上。
- 适合实时机器人控制场景,尤其对执行误差敏感的任务。
视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型为满足实时性需求,越来越多采用分块动作头;但此举引发边界抖动:相邻分块重叠区域常出现预测不一致,降低时间连贯性与任务成功率。现有方法如推理时加权融合,仅重新分配不匹配提议,无法纠正根本错误,导致在有偏或噪声历史下残差累积。本文提出ChunkFlow,一种面向分块策略的缝合感知训练与执行框架,使分块结构与边界执行对齐。该框架将每段分为冻结、可编辑和未来三个区域,执行时应用确定性重叠融合,并以缝合点及一阶、二阶连续性损失训练原始预测。通过历史污染与调度采样增强对执行历史错误的鲁棒性,再经AWAC微调适配策略,同时保留结构正则化。在温和平滑性假设下,预融合缝合差异随重叠增加而可证明衰减。在CALVIN、LIBERO及真实机器人上的实验表明,该方法在低延迟推理下实现了更高的成功率与稳定性平衡。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vision-language action (VLA) models increasingly adopt chunked action heads to satisfy real-time constraints; however, this introduces boundary jitter: overlapping regions between consecutive chunks often yield inconsistent predictions, degrading temporal coherence and the task success rate. Existing methods, such as inference-time blending, merely reweight mismatched proposals without correcting underlying errors, leading to residual accumulation under biased or noisy histories. We propose ChunkFlow, a seam-aware training-and-execution framework for chunked policies that aligns chunk structure with boundary execution. It partitions each chunk into frozen, editable, and future zones, applies deterministic overlap blending at execution, and trains raw predictions with seam and first- and second-order continuity losses. History corruption and scheduled sampling improve robustness to executed-history errors, while an AWAC fine-tuning stage adapts the policy without removing these structural regularizers. Under mild smoothness assumptions, pre-blending seam discrepancies provably decay with increasing overlap. Experiments on CALVIN, LIBERO, and real robots show an improved success-stability trade-off with low-latency inference. Project page: https://cytoderm-ai.github.io/chunkflow.
