Show Me Examples: Inferring Visual Concepts from Image Sets

Nick Stracke, Kolja Bauer, Stefan Andreas Baumann +3

Vision-language models (VLMs) can follow complex textual instructions, yet they struggle to reason from purely visual context. In particular, current models fail to infer shared co…

Normalizing Flows with Iterative Denoising

Tianrong Chen, Jiatao Gu, David Berthelot +2

Normalizing Flows (NFs) are a classical family of likelihood-based methods that have received revived attention. Recent efforts such as TARFlow have shown that NFs are capable of a…

On the benefits of pixel-based hierarchical policies for task generalization

Tudor Cristea-Platon, Bogdan Mazoure, Josh Susskind +1

Reinforcement learning practitioners often avoid hierarchical policies, especially in image-based observation spaces. Typically, the single-task performance improvement over flat-p…
