A Lecture Note on Offline RL and IRL, Part II: Foundations of Inverse Reinforcement Learning and Dynamic Discrete Choice Models

Enoch Hyunwook Kang

In the forward reinforcement-learning problem, the reward is fixed and known; the learner is asked to find a good policy or value function. Here we turn the question around. Given…

Personalized Alignment Revisited: The Necessity and Sufficiency of User Diversity

Enoch Hyunwook Kang

Personalized alignment aims to adapt large language models to heterogeneous user preferences, yet the precise theoretical conditions for its statistical efficiency have not been fo…

Demystifying the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Greedy Alignment Methods

Enoch Hyunwook Kang

Greedy AI alignment methods based on Bradley-Terry reward-model fitting and KL-regularized Alignment are remarkably effective in both offline and online preference-learning pipelin…

Stability and Generalization for Bellman Residuals

Enoch H. Kang, Kyoungseok Jang

Offline reinforcement learning and offline inverse reinforcement learning aim to recover near-optimal value functions or reward models from a fixed batch of logged trajectories, ye…

An Empirical Risk Minimization Approach for Offline Inverse RL and Dynamic Discrete Choice Model

Enoch H. Kang, Hema Yoganarasimhan, Lalit Jain

We study the problem of estimating Dynamic Discrete Choice (DDC) models, also known as offline Maximum Entropy-Regularized Inverse Reinforcement Learning (offline MaxEnt-IRL) in ma…

Bounded (O(1)) Regret Recommendation Learning via Synthetic Controls Oracle

Enoch Hyunwook Kang, P. R. Kumar

In online exploration systems where users with fixed preferences repeatedly arrive, it has recently been shown that O(1), i.e., bounded regret, can be achieved when the system is m…
