• Explicit task constraints in CoVe guide the generation of complex trajectories and act as deterministic verifiers for trajectory quality.method 70%
  Evidencepartial

  CoVe begins by defining explicit task constraints, which serve a dual role: they guide the generation of complex trajectories and act as deterministic verifiers for assessing trajectory quality.

  Implicationpartial

  The abstract clearly states the dual role of task constraints within the CoVe framework.
