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…

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…

Generative Actor Critic

Aoyang Qin, Deqian Kong, Wei Wang +3

Conventional Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms, typically focused on estimating or maximizing expected returns, face challenges when refining offline pretrained models with on…

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…

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…

A minimalistic representation model for head direction system

Minglu Zhao, Dehong Xu, Deqian Kong +2

We present a minimalistic representation model for the head direction (HD) system, aiming to learn a high-dimensional representation of head direction that captures essential prope…

Differentiable VQ-VAE's for Robust White Matter Streamline Encodings

Andrew Lizarraga, Brandon Taraku, Edouardo Honig +2

Given the complex geometry of white matter streamlines, Autoencoders have been proposed as a dimension-reduction tool to simplify the analysis streamlines in a low-dimensional late…
