Loop-Free Inverse Reinforcement Learning via Sequential Value Recovery with Q-Score Matching

Yang Chen, Yang chen, Yitan Zhang +2

Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) aims to recover a reward function that explains expert demonstrations. Existing IRL methods typically rely on a bi-level optimization procedure…

Conflict-Aware Fusion: Mitigating Logic Inertia in Large Language Models via Structured Cognitive Priors

Qiming Bao, Xiaoxuan Fu, Michael Witbrock

Large language models (LLMs) achieve high accuracy on many reasoning benchmarks but remain brittle under structural perturbations of rule-based systems. We introduce a diagnostic f…

Trust Region Reward Optimization and Proximal Inverse Reward Optimization Algorithm

Yang Chen, Menglin Zou, Jiaqi Zhang +6

Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) learns a reward function to explain expert demonstrations. Modern IRL methods often use the adversarial (minimax) formulation that alternates b…

Evaluating The Impact of Stimulus Quality in Investigations of LLM Language Performance

Timothy Pistotti, Jason Brown, Michael Witbrock

Recent studies employing Large Language Models (LLMs) to test the Argument from the Poverty of the Stimulus (APS) have yielded contrasting results across syntactic phenomena. This…

Exploring Gaps in the APS: Direct Minimal Pair Analysis in LLM Syntactic Assessments

Timothy Pistotti, Jason Brown, Michael Witbrock

Recent studies probing the Argument from the Poverty of the Stimulus (APS) have applied Large Language Models (LLMs) to test the learnability of complex syntax through surprisal-ba…

Psychology-Driven Enhancement of Humour Translation

Yuchen Su, Yonghua Zhu, Yang Chen +2

Humour translation plays a vital role as a bridge between different cultures, fostering understanding and communication. Although most existing Large Language Models (LLMs) are cap…

A Survey of Pun Generation: Datasets, Evaluations and Methodologies

Yuchen Su, Yonghua Zhu, Ruofan Wang +3

Pun generation seeks to creatively modify linguistic elements in text to produce humour or evoke double meanings. It also aims to preserve coherence and contextual appropriateness,…

Causal Cartographer: From Mapping to Reasoning Over Counterfactual Worlds

Gaël Gendron, Jože M. Rožanec, Michael Witbrock +1

Causal world models are systems that can answer counterfactual questions about an environment of interest, i.e. predict how it would have evolved if an arbitrary subset of events h…

Counterfactual Causal Inference in Natural Language with Large Language Models

Gaël Gendron, Jože M. Rožanec, Michael Witbrock +1

Causal structure discovery methods are commonly applied to structured data where the causal variables are known and where statistical testing can be used to assess the causal relat…

Robust Domain Generalisation with Causal Invariant Bayesian Neural Networks

Gaël Gendron, Michael Witbrock, Gillian Dobbie

Deep neural networks can obtain impressive performance on various tasks under the assumption that their training domain is identical to their target domain. Performance can drop dr…

Recurrence over Video Frames (RoVF) for the Re-identification of Meerkats

Mitchell Rogers, Kobe Knowles, Gaël Gendron +7

Deep learning approaches for animal re-identification have had a major impact on conservation, significantly reducing the time required for many downstream tasks, such as well-bein…

Can Large Language Models Learn Independent Causal Mechanisms?

Gaël Gendron, Bao Trung Nguyen, Alex Yuxuan Peng +2

Despite impressive performance on language modelling and complex reasoning tasks, Large Language Models (LLMs) fall short on the same tasks in uncommon settings or with distributio…
