The AI Scientist: Towards Fully Automated Open-Ended Scientific Discovery
Chris Lu, Cong Lu, Robert Tjarko Lange +3
One of the grand challenges of artificial general intelligence is developing agents capable of conducting scientific research and discovering new knowledge. While frontier models h…
Automated Design of Agentic Systems
Shengran Hu, Cong Lu, Jeff Clune
Researchers are investing substantial effort in developing powerful general-purpose agents, wherein Foundation Models are used as modules within agentic systems (e.g. Chain-of-Thou…
Pre-trained Text-to-Image Diffusion Models Are Versatile Representation Learners for Control
Gunshi Gupta, Karmesh Yadav, Yarin Gal +4
Embodied AI agents require a fine-grained understanding of the physical world mediated through visual and language inputs. Such capabilities are difficult to learn solely from task…
Intelligent Go-Explore: Standing on the Shoulders of Giant Foundation Models
Cong Lu, Shengran Hu, Jeff Clune
Go-Explore is a powerful family of algorithms designed to solve hard-exploration problems built on the principle of archiving discovered states, and iteratively returning to and ex…
Video Diffusion Models: A Survey
Andrew Melnik, Michal Ljubljanac, Cong Lu +3
Diffusion generative models have recently become a powerful technique for creating and modifying high-quality, coherent video content. This survey provides a comprehensive overview…
Policy-Guided Diffusion
Matthew Thomas Jackson, Michael Tryfan Matthews, Cong Lu +3
In many real-world settings, agents must learn from an offline dataset gathered by some prior behavior policy. Such a setting naturally leads to distribution shift between the beha…
The Edge-of-Reach Problem in Offline Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Anya Sims, Cong Lu, Jakob Foerster +1
Offline reinforcement learning aims to train agents from pre-collected datasets. However, this comes with the added challenge of estimating the value of behaviors not covered in th…
