LUMINA: Long-horizon Understanding for Multi-turn Interactive Agents

Amin Rakhsha, Thomas Hehn, Pietro Mazzaglia +3

Large language models can perform well on many isolated tasks, yet they continue to struggle on multi-turn, long-horizon agentic problems that require skills such as planning, stat…

Majority of the Bests: Improving Best-of-N via Bootstrapping

Amin Rakhsha, Kanika Madan, Tianyu Zhang +2

Sampling multiple outputs from a Large Language Model (LLM) and selecting the most frequent (Self-consistency) or highest-scoring (Best-of-N) candidate is a popular approach to ach…

Deflated Dynamics Value Iteration

Jongmin Lee, Amin Rakhsha, Ernest K. Ryu +1

The Value Iteration (VI) algorithm is an iterative procedure to compute the value function of a Markov decision process, and is the basis of many reinforcement learning (RL) algori…

PID Accelerated Temporal Difference Algorithms

Mark Bedaywi, Amin Rakhsha, Amir-massoud Farahmand

Long-horizon tasks, which have a large discount factor, pose a challenge for most conventional reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. Algorithms such as Value Iteration and Tempor…

Maximum Entropy Model Correction in Reinforcement Learning

Amin Rakhsha, Mete Kemertas, Mohammad Ghavamzadeh +1

We propose and theoretically analyze an approach for planning with an approximate model in reinforcement learning that can reduce the adverse impact of model error. If the model is…

Operator Splitting Value Iteration

Amin Rakhsha, Andrew Wang, Mohammad Ghavamzadeh +1

We introduce new planning and reinforcement learning algorithms for discounted MDPs that utilize an approximate model of the environment to accelerate the convergence of the value…

Reward Poisoning in Reinforcement Learning: Attacks Against Unknown Learners in Unknown Environments

Amin Rakhsha, Xuezhou Zhang, Xiaojin Zhu +1

We study black-box reward poisoning attacks against reinforcement learning (RL), in which an adversary aims to manipulate the rewards to mislead a sequence of RL agents with unknow…

Policy Teaching in Reinforcement Learning via Environment Poisoning Attacks

Amin Rakhsha, Goran Radanovic, Rati Devidze +2

We study a security threat to reinforcement learning where an attacker poisons the learning environment to force the agent into executing a target policy chosen by the attacker. As…
