Extending Test-Time Scaling: A 3D Perspective with Context, Batch, and Turn

Chao Yu, Qixin Tan, Jiaxuan Gao +7

Reasoning reinforcement learning (RL) has recently revealed a new scaling effect: test-time scaling. Thinking models such as R1 and o1 improve their reasoning accuracy at test time…

Robust Autonomy Emerges from Self-Play

Marco Cusumano-Towner, David Hafner, Alex Hertzberg +9

Self-play has powered breakthroughs in two-player and multi-player games. Here we show that self-play is a surprisingly effective strategy in another domain. We show that robust an…

Reevaluating Policy Gradient Methods for Imperfect-Information Games

Max Rudolph, Nathan Lichtle, Sobhan Mohammadpour +6

In the past decade, motivated by the putative failure of naive self-play deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in adversarial imperfect-information games, researchers have developed nu…

ICPL: Few-shot In-context Preference Learning via LLMs

Chao Yu, Qixin Tan, Hong Lu +5

Preference-based reinforcement learning is an effective way to handle tasks where rewards are hard to specify but can be exceedingly inefficient as preference learning is often tab…

Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs

Jonathan W. Lee, Han Wang, Kathy Jang +61

The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,…

Reinforcement Learning Based Oscillation Dampening: Scaling up Single-Agent RL algorithms to a 100 AV highway field operational test

Kathy Jang, Nathan Lichtlé, Eugene Vinitsky +10

In this article, we explore the technical details of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that were deployed in the largest field test of automated vehicles designed to smoot…
