OLLM: Options-based Large Language Models

Shashank Sharma, Janina Hoffmann, Vinay Namboodiri

We introduce Options LLM (OLLM), a simple, general method that replaces the single next-token prediction of standard LLMs with a \textit{set of learned options} for the next token,…

Rethinking Few Shot CLIP Benchmarks: A Critical Analysis in the Inductive Setting

Alexey Kravets, Da Chen, Vinay P. Namboodiri

CLIP is a foundational model with transferable classification performance in the few-shot setting. Several methods have shown improved performance of CLIP using few-shot examples.…

MRS: Multi-Resolution Skills for HRL Agents

Shashank Sharma, Janina Hoffmann, Vinay Namboodiri

Hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) decomposes the policy into a manager and a worker, enabling long-horizon planning but introducing a performance gap on tasks requiring agi…

DHP: Discrete Hierarchical Planning for Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning Agents

Shashank Sharma, Janina Hoffmann, Vinay Namboodiri

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) agents often struggle with long-horizon visual planning due to their reliance on error-prone distance metrics. We propose Discrete Hierarc…

MedFocusCLIP : Improving few shot classification in medical datasets using pixel wise attention

Aadya Arora, Vinay Namboodiri

With the popularity of foundational models, parameter efficient fine tuning has become the defacto approach to leverage pretrained models to perform downstream tasks. Taking inspir…

Direct Preference Optimization for Primitive-Enabled Hierarchical RL: A Bilevel Approach

Utsav Singh, Souradip Chakraborty, Wesley A. Suttle +6

Hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) enables agents to solve complex, long-horizon tasks by decomposing them into manageable sub-tasks. However, HRL methods face two fundament…
