Reinforcement Learning via Fixed-point Flow Matching

Denis Blessing, Onur Celik, Gerhard Neumann

In maximum entropy and behavior-constrained reinforcement learning (RL), the optimal policy is given by a Boltzmann distribution. Generating samples from this distribution can be c…

Fourier Features Let Agents Learn High Precision Policies with Imitation Learning

Balázs Gyenes, Emiliyan Gospodinov, Jan Frieling +5

High-precision robotic manipulation requires fine-grained spatial reasoning that is often difficult to achieve with RGB-only policies due to depth ambiguity and perspective scale i…

PAWS: Preference Learning with Advantage-Weighted Segments

Aleksandar Taranovic, Onur Celik, Niklas Freymuth +6

Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) learns policies from human trajectory-level comparisons, avoiding explicit reward design and expert demonstrations. Existing methods…

Chunking the Critic: A Transformer-based Soft Actor-Critic with N-Step Returns

Dong Tian, Onur Celik, Gerhard Neumann

We introduce a sequence-conditioned critic for Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) that models trajectory context with a lightweight Transformer and trains on aggregated -step targets. Unli…

DIME:Diffusion-Based Maximum Entropy Reinforcement Learning

Onur Celik, Zechu Li, Denis Blessing +5

Maximum entropy reinforcement learning (MaxEnt-RL) has become the standard approach to RL due to its beneficial exploration properties. Traditionally, policies are parameterized us…

TOP-ERL: Transformer-based Off-Policy Episodic Reinforcement Learning

Ge Li, Dong Tian, Hongyi Zhou +3

This work introduces Transformer-based Off-Policy Episodic Reinforcement Learning (TOP-ERL), a novel algorithm that enables off-policy updates in the ERL framework. In ERL, policie…

Variational Distillation of Diffusion Policies into Mixture of Experts

Hongyi Zhou, Denis Blessing, Ge Li +4

This work introduces Variational Diffusion Distillation (VDD), a novel method that distills denoising diffusion policies into Mixtures of Experts (MoE) through variational inferenc…

MaIL: Improving Imitation Learning with Mamba

Xiaogang Jia, Qian Wang, Atalay Donat +7

This work presents Mamba Imitation Learning (MaIL), a novel imitation learning (IL) architecture that provides an alternative to state-of-the-art (SoTA) Transformer-based policies.…

Open the Black Box: Step-based Policy Updates for Temporally-Correlated Episodic Reinforcement Learning

Ge Li, Hongyi Zhou, Dominik Roth +4

Current advancements in reinforcement learning (RL) have predominantly focused on learning step-based policies that generate actions for each perceived state. While these methods e…

Information Maximizing Curriculum: A Curriculum-Based Approach for Imitating Diverse Skills

Denis Blessing, Onur Celik, Xiaogang Jia +4

Imitation learning uses data for training policies to solve complex tasks. However, when the training data is collected from human demonstrators, it often leads to multimodal distr…
