Latent Memory Palace: Reasoning for Control as Autoregressive Variational Inference
Chuning Zhu, Eva Xu, Jose Barreiros +3
Human decision-making is highly flexible -- some actions are taken immediately; others require longer deliberation. Language models have exhibited a similar capacity for adaptive "…
Difference-Aware Retrieval Policies for Imitation Learning
Quinn Pfeifer, Ethan Pronovost, Paarth Shah +3
Parametric imitation learning via behavior cloning can suffer from poor generalization to out-of-distribution states due to compounding errors during deployment. We show that reusi…
Operator-Theoretic Foundations and Policy Gradient Methods for General MDPs with Unbounded Costs
Abhishek Gupta, Aditya Mahajan
Markov decision processes (MDPs) is viewed as an optimization of an objective function over certain linear operators over general function spaces. A new existence result is establi…
Robometer: Scaling General-Purpose Robotic Reward Models via Trajectory Comparisons
Anthony Liang, Yigit Korkmaz, Jiahui Zhang +14
General-purpose robot reward models are typically trained to predict absolute task progress from expert demonstrations, providing only local, frame-level supervision. While effecti…
