One More Time: Revisiting Neural Quantum States from a Reinforcement Learning Perspective

Juan Agustín Duque, Sergio García Heredia, Vinicius Hernandes +4

Neural quantum states (NQS) provide a flexible and scalable framework for approximating quantum many-body wavefunctions. Among NQS parameterizations, autoregressive models are espe…

Representation Learning Enables Scalable Multitask Deep Reinforcement Learning

Johan Obando-Ceron, Lu Li, Scott Fujimoto +3

Scaling reinforcement learning (RL) to diverse multitask settings remains a central challenge. While recent advances in model-based RL achieve strong performance, they rely on plan…

Local Guidance, Global Impact: Gaussian-Reshaped Trust Region Unlocks Behavior Transitions

Bingxu Liu, Jiashun Liu, Johan Obando-Ceron +5

While Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) demonstrates strong performance in stationary settings, we show that its standard optimization paradigm struggles in continual and non-stat…

Towards Sustainable Investment Policies Informed by Opponent Shaping

Juan Agustin Duque, Razvan Ciuca, Ayoub Echchahed +2

Addressing climate change requires global coordination, yet rational economic actors often prioritize immediate gains over collective welfare, resulting in social dilemmas. InvestE…

Learning Robust Social Strategies with Large Language Models

Dereck Piche, Mohammed Muqeeth, Milad Aghajohari +3

As agentic AI becomes more widespread, agents with distinct and possibly conflicting goals will interact in complex ways. These multi-agent interactions pose a fundamental challeng…

Generative Adversarial Post-Training Mitigates Reward Hacking in Live Human-AI Music Interaction

Yusong Wu, Stephen Brade, Aleksandra Teng Ma +6

Most applications of generative AI involve a sequential interaction in which a person inputs a prompt and waits for a response, and where reaction time and adaptivity are not impor…

Evolution Strategies at the Hyperscale

Bidipta Sarkar, Mattie Fellows, Juan Agustin Duque +17

Evolution Strategies (ES) is a class of powerful black-box optimisation methods that are highly parallelisable and can handle non-differentiable and noisy objectives. However, naïv…

Streaming Generation for Music Accompaniment

Yusong Wu, Mason Wang, Heidi Lei +5

Music generation models can produce high-fidelity coherent accompaniment given complete audio input, but are limited to editing and loop-based workflows. We study real-time audio-t…

Adaptive Accompaniment with ReaLchords

Yusong Wu, Tim Cooijmans, Kyle Kastner +10

Jamming requires coordination, anticipation, and collaborative creativity between musicians. Current generative models of music produce expressive output but are not able to genera…

FLAM: Frame-Wise Language-Audio Modeling

Yusong Wu, Christos Tsirigotis, Ke Chen +5

Recent multi-modal audio-language models (ALMs) excel at text-audio retrieval but struggle with frame-wise audio understanding. Prior works use temporal-aware labels or unsupervise…

Adaptive Computation Pruning for the Forgetting Transformer

Zhixuan Lin, Johan Obando-Ceron, Xu Owen He +1

The recently proposed Forgetting Transformer (FoX) incorporates a forget gate into softmax attention and has shown consistently better or on-par performance compared to the standar…

Forgetting Transformer: Softmax Attention with a Forget Gate

Zhixuan Lin, Evgenii Nikishin, Xu Owen He +1

An essential component of modern recurrent sequence models is the forget gate. While Transformers do not have an explicit recurrent form, we show that a forget gate can be naturall…

Managing multiple agents by automatically adjusting incentives

Shunichi Akatsuka, Yaemi Teramoto, Aaron Courville

In the coming years, AI agents will be used for making more complex decisions, including in situations involving many different groups of people. One big challenge is that AI agent…

The Curse of Diversity in Ensemble-Based Exploration

Zhixuan Lin, Pierluca D'Oro, Evgenii Nikishin +1

We uncover a surprising phenomenon in deep reinforcement learning: training a diverse ensemble of data-sharing agents -- a well-established exploration strategy -- can significantl…

LOQA: Learning with Opponent Q-Learning Awareness

Milad Aghajohari, Juan Agustin Duque, Tim Cooijmans +1

In various real-world scenarios, interactions among agents often resemble the dynamics of general-sum games, where each agent strives to optimize its own utility. Despite the ubiqu…

Best Response Shaping

Milad Aghajohari, Tim Cooijmans, Juan Agustin Duque +2

We investigate the challenge of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning in partially competitive environments, where traditional methods struggle to foster reciprocity-based cooper…
