An Improved Model-Free Decision-Estimation Coefficient with Applications in Adversarial MDPs

Haolin Liu, Chen-Yu Wei, Julian Zimmert

We study decision making with structured observation (DMSO). Previous work (Foster et al., 2021b, 2023a) has characterized the complexity of DMSO via the decision-estimation coeffi…

Evolving Language Models without Labels: Majority Drives Selection, Novelty Promotes Variation

Yujun Zhou, Zhenwen Liang, Haolin Liu +7

Large language models (LLMs) can improve through reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), but many settings lack reference answers or external verifiers. Label-free s…

Moving Out: Physically-grounded Human-AI Collaboration

Xuhui Kang, Sung-Wook Lee, Haolin Liu +2

The ability to adapt to physical actions and constraints in an environment is crucial for embodied agents (e.g., robots) to effectively collaborate with humans. Such physically gro…

Towards Optimal Regret in Adversarial Linear MDPs with Bandit Feedback

Haolin Liu, Chen-Yu Wei, Julian Zimmert

We study online reinforcement learning in linear Markov decision processes with adversarial losses and bandit feedback, without prior knowledge on transitions or access to simulato…

Bypassing the Simulator: Near-Optimal Adversarial Linear Contextual Bandits

Haolin Liu, Chen-Yu Wei, Julian Zimmert

We consider the adversarial linear contextual bandit problem, where the loss vectors are selected fully adversarially and the per-round action set (i.e. the context) is drawn from…

Diffusion Multi-unit Auctions with Diminishing Marginal Utility Buyers

Haolin Liu, Xinyuan Lian, Dengji Zhao

We consider an auction design problem where a seller sells multiple homogeneous items to a set of connected buyers. Each buyer only knows the buyers she directly connects with and…
