Bootstrap Stochastic Interpolant Tree for Inference-time Search Under Sparse Reward
Binglin Ji, Anindya Sarkar, Yevgeniy Vorobeychik
Tree-based samplers offer a compelling alternative for scalable inference-time search, bypassing the per-step reward and gradient dependencies that introduce systematic bias into S…
LATS: Levy Adaptive Tree Sampling for Feedback-Driven Diverse Target Discovery
Binglin Ji, Anindya Sarkar, Hengchang Lu +3
While diffusion models excel at capturing complex data distributions, scientific discovery often requires steering generation toward specific, uncharacterized regions that maximize…
BFMT: Enhancing Search Capabilities of Tree Sampler via Bootstrap Flow-Map Tree
Binglin Ji, Anindya Sarkar, Hengchang Lu +4
The ability to efficiently navigate high-dimensional spaces to identify optimal candidates-whether designing targeted molecular structures or generating images with preferred attri…
Sampling Meets Interaction: Sequentially-Controlled Multi-Particle Flow-Maps for Efficient Inference-time Search
Binglin Ji, Anindya Sarkar, Hengchang Lu +2
While generative models have enabled training-free reward alignment, existing particle-based methods are fundamentally constrained by their propensity to local exploration within n…
PAPA: Online Personalized Active Preference Alignment
Anindya Sarkar, Nasik Muhammad Nafi, Isaac Lyngaas +2
Diffusion models are highly effective at modeling complex data distributions, including images and text. However, in applications like personalized recommender systems, the objecti…
DiffVAS: Diffusion-Guided Visual Active Search in Partially Observable Environments
Anindya Sarkar, Srikumar Sastry, Aleksis Pirinen +2
Visual active search (VAS) has been introduced as a modeling framework that leverages visual cues to direct aerial (e.g., UAV-based) exploration and pinpoint areas of interest with…
Adapting Actively on the Fly: Relevance-Guided Online Meta-Learning with Latent Concepts for Geospatial Discovery
Jowaria Khan, Anindya Sarkar, Yevgeniy Vorobeychik +1
In environmental monitoring, data collection is often costly, sparse, and shaped by urgent public-health needs. This is particularly true for cancer-causing PFAS (Per- and polyfluo…
Active Target Discovery under Uninformative Prior: The Power of Permanent and Transient Memory

Learning Policy Committees for Effective Personalization in MDPs with Diverse Tasks
Luise Ge, Michael Lanier, Anindya Sarkar +3
Many dynamic decision problems, such as robotic control, involve a series of tasks, many of which are unknown at training time. Typical approaches for these problems, such as multi…
Active Geospatial Search for Efficient Tenant Eviction Outreach
Anindya Sarkar, Alex DiChristofano, Sanmay Das +3
Tenant evictions threaten housing stability and are a major concern for many cities. An open question concerns whether data-driven methods enhance outreach programs that target at-…
GOMAA-Geo: GOal Modality Agnostic Active Geo-localization
Anindya Sarkar, Srikumar Sastry, Aleksis Pirinen +3
We consider the task of active geo-localization (AGL) in which an agent uses a sequence of visual cues observed during aerial navigation to find a target specified through multiple…
