Learning to Plan from Random Exploration
Deqian Kong, Guangyan Sun, Sheng Cheng +6
Random exploration reveals how an environment can be traversed before a goal is specified. Can this experience support long-range planning without policy-improvement training? Our…
MT-EditFlow: Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Turn Image Editing with Flow Matching
Jiahui Huang, Yasi Zhang, Tianyu Chen +6
Recent breakthroughs in instruction-based image editing have captured significant attention, as models are now capable of handling real-world editing demands with the practicality…
Inference-Time Rethinking with Latent Thought Vectors for Math Reasoning
Deqian Kong, Minglu Zhao, Aoyang Qin +10
Standard chain-of-thought reasoning generates a solution in a single forward pass, committing irrevocably to each token and lacking a mechanism to recover from early errors. We int…
FFT-Accelerated Auxiliary Variable MCMC for Fermionic Lattice Models: A Determinant-Free Approach with Complexity
Deqian Kong, Shi Feng, Jianwen Xie +1
We introduce a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that dramatically accelerates the simulation of quantum many-body systems, a grand challenge in computational science. Stat…
EdiVal-Agent: An Object-Centric Framework for Automated, Fine-Grained Evaluation of Multi-Turn Editing
Tianyu Chen, Yasi Zhang, Zhi Zhang +13
Instruction-based image editing has advanced rapidly, yet reliable and interpretable evaluation remains a bottleneck. Current protocols either (i) depend on paired reference images…
Latent Adaptive Planner for Dynamic Manipulation
Donghun Noh, Deqian Kong, Minglu Zhao +4
We present the Latent Adaptive Planner (LAP), a trajectory-level latent-variable policy for dynamic nonprehensile manipulation (e.g., box catching) that formulates planning as infe…
Latent Thought Models with Variational Bayes Inference-Time Computation
Deqian Kong, Minglu Zhao, Dehong Xu +8
We propose a novel class of language models, Latent Thought Models (LTMs), which incorporate explicit latent thought vectors that follow an explicit prior model in latent space. Th…
Latent Space Energy-based Neural ODEs
Sheng Cheng, Deqian Kong, Jianwen Xie +3
This paper introduces novel deep dynamical models designed to represent continuous-time sequences. Our approach employs a neural emission model to generate each data point in the t…
"Noisier" Noise Contrastive Eestimation is (Almost) Maximum Likelihood
Peiyu Yu, Dinghuai Zhang, Hengzhi He +10
Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE) has fueled major breakthroughs in representation learning and generative modeling. Yet a long-standing challenge remains: accurately estimating r…
Latent Plan Transformer for Trajectory Abstraction: Planning as Latent Space Inference
Deqian Kong, Dehong Xu, Minglu Zhao +6
In tasks aiming for long-term returns, planning becomes essential. We study generative modeling for planning with datasets repurposed from offline reinforcement learning. Specifica…
