PAC Bench: Do Foundation Models Understand Prerequisites for Executing Manipulation Policies?
Atharva Gundawar, Som Sagar, Ransalu Senanayake
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly pivotal for generalist robot manipulation, enabling tasks such as physical reasoning, policy generation, and failure detection. Howev…
Beyond Semantics: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Reasonless Intermediate Tokens
Karthik Valmeekam, Vardhan Palod, Kaya Stechly +2
Recent impressive results from large reasoning models have been interpreted as a triumph of Chain of Thought (CoT), and especially of the process of training on CoTs sampled from b…
REAL: Benchmarking Autonomous Agents on Deterministic Simulations of Real Websites
Divyansh Garg, Shaun VanWeelden, Diego Caples +15
We introduce REAL, a benchmark and framework for multi-turn agent evaluations on deterministic simulations of real-world websites. REAL comprises high-fidelity, deterministic repli…
Position: Stop Anthropomorphizing Intermediate Tokens as Reasoning/Thinking Traces!
Subbarao Kambhampati, Karthik Valmeekam, Siddhant Bhambri +6
Intermediate token generation (ITG), where a model produces output before the solution, has become a standard method to improve the performance of language models on reasoning task…
Robust Planning with Compound LLM Architectures: An LLM-Modulo Approach
Atharva Gundawar, Karthik Valmeekam, Mudit Verma +1
Previous work has attempted to boost Large Language Model (LLM) performance on planning and scheduling tasks through a variety of prompt engineering techniques. While these methods…
Planning in Strawberry Fields: Evaluating and Improving the Planning and Scheduling Capabilities of LRM o1
Karthik Valmeekam, Kaya Stechly, Atharva Gundawar +1
The ability to plan a course of action that achieves a desired state of affairs has long been considered a core competence of intelligent agents and has been an integral part of AI…
Superior Computer Chess with Model Predictive Control, Reinforcement Learning, and Rollout
Atharva Gundawar, Yuchao Li, Dimitri Bertsekas
In this paper we apply model predictive control (MPC), rollout, and reinforcement learning (RL) methodologies to computer chess. We introduce a new architecture for move selection,…
Robust Planning with LLM-Modulo Framework: Case Study in Travel Planning
Atharva Gundawar, Mudit Verma, Lin Guan +3
As the applicability of Large Language Models (LLMs) extends beyond traditional text processing tasks, there is a burgeoning interest in their potential to excel in planning and re…
