Disentangling Dynamical Systems: Causal Representation Learning Meets Local Sparse Attention

Markus W. Baumgartner, Anson Lei, Joe Watson +1

Parametric system identification methods estimate the parameters of explicitly defined physical systems from data. Yet, they remain constrained by the need to provide an explicit f…

Coherent Off-Policy Improvement of Large Behavior Models with Learned Rewards

Christian Scherer, Joe Watson, Theo Gruner +3

Distilling expert demonstration data into large generative models using behavioral cloning is a scalable approach to learning capable policies for robotic control, particularly for…

Intrinsically Interpretable Attention via Sparse Post-Training

Florent Draye, Anson Lei, Hsiao-Ru Pan +2

We introduce a simple post-training method that makes transformer attention sparse without sacrificing performance. Applying a flexible sparsity regularisation under a constrained-…

No Epoch Like the Present: Robust Climate Emulation Requires Out-of-Distribution Generalisation

Bradley Stanley-Clamp, Anson Lei, Hannah M. Christensen +1

Climate emulation is an out-of-distribution (OOD) projection task. This is precisely the challenge where modern Machine Learning (ML) methods are most prone to failure. Consequentl…

XQCfD: Accelerating Fast Actor-Critic Algorithms with Prior Data and Prior Policies

Daniel Palenicek, Florian Vogt, Joe Watson +3

For reinforcement learning in the real world online exploration is expensive A common practice in robotic reinforcement learning is to incorporate additional data to improve sample…

XQC: Well-conditioned Optimization Accelerates Deep Reinforcement Learning

Daniel Palenicek, Florian Vogt, Joe Watson +2

Sample efficiency is a central property of effective deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Recent work has improved this through added complexity, such as larger models, exotic n…
