Wiring Matters: Injection Topology and Initialization of Affordance Heads in Vision-Language-Action Policies

研究VLA中可供性头损害指令遵循的问题,提出stop-gradient读取与桥接重注入,并在LIBERO验证性能。

核心要点 ​

  • 密集可供性监督虽有吸引力,但朴素共训可供性头会严重损害指令遵循。
  • 方法以stop-gradient读取骨干,并通过学习桥将中间头特征重注入动作专家。
  • 在LIBERO上,允许梯度回传使策略低于无头基线,保护骨干是前提。
  • 初始化比注入拓扑更关键;主动初始化残差桥达96.2%,额外参数低于1%。

验证范围与局限:验证范围为LIBERO benchmark上的现代VLA,摘要未说明真机实验。

英文摘要 (Abstract) ​

Dense affordance supervision is an appealing auxiliary signal for vision-language-action (VLA) policies, yet naively co-training an affordance head can severely damage instruction following. We present a controlled study of how to wire such a head into a modern VLA on the LIBERO benchmark. Our recipe reads the backbone through a stop-gradient and re-injects an intermediate head feature into the action expert via a learned bridge. The stop-gradient is a precondition: letting affordance gradients reach the backbone drops the policy below the headless base (85.5% vs. 93.1%). With the backbone protected, a same-budget 2*2 ablation over injection topology (concatenation vs. residual) and bridge initialization (zero vs. random) shows initialization is the dominant lever. The best wiring, an actively initialized residual bridge, reaches 96.2%, matching the far more elaborate three-expert AffordanceVLA (95.8%) with under 1% extra parameters. Two probes explain the mechanism: ground-truth affordances fed as an input hurt, and inference-time zeroing shows a lazy bridge acts only as a training-time regularizer while an active bridge becomes load-bearing.
