When Does On-Policy Interaction Help? Representational Tradeoffs in Value-Based Imitation Learning

Luca Viano, Antoine Moulin, Audrey Huang +3

Imitation learning (IL)---training an agent to replicate expert behavior from demonstrations---underpins applications from robotics to language model training. Standard approaches…

Select and Improve: Understanding the Mechanics of Post-Training for Reasoning

Akshay Krishnamurthy, Audrey Huang, Nived Rajaraman

Reinforcement learning has rapidly emerged as a key component in the training of reasoning and coding models, yet it remains poorly understood from a mechanistic perspective. We st…

Learning to Reason with Curriculum I: Provable Benefits of Autocurriculum

Nived Rajaraman, Audrey Huang, Miro Dudik +3

Chain-of-thought reasoning, where language models expend additional computation by producing thinking tokens prior to final responses, has driven significant advances in model capa…

Computational-Statistical Tradeoffs at the Next-Token Prediction Barrier: Autoregressive and Imitation Learning under Misspecification

Dhruv Rohatgi, Adam Block, Audrey Huang +2

Next-token prediction with the logarithmic loss is a cornerstone of autoregressive sequence modeling, but, in practice, suffers from error amplification, where errors in the model…
