Modularized Reinforcement Learning on LLMs: From MDP Creation to Exploration and Learning

Zhao Yang, Yuxuan Jiang, Ting-Chih Chen +18

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become central to LLM post-training, yet the methods that dominate current pipelines, PPO and GRPO, represent only a narrow slice of what RL offers.…

Reinforcement Learning from Cross-domain Videos with Video Prediction Model

Zhao Yang, Xinrui Zu, Jacob E. Kooi +5

Reinforcement learning from expert videos across visually distinct domains is challenging due to the absence of reward signals and the presence of domain gaps. We introduce XIPER (…

Hadamax Encoding: Elevating Performance in Model-Free Atari

Jacob E. Kooi, Zhao Yang, Vincent François-Lavet

Neural network architectures have a large impact in machine learning. In reinforcement learning, network architectures have remained notably simple, as changes often lead to small…

Hadamard Representation: Scaffolding Performance Across Model-free RL

Jacob E. Kooi, Zhao Yang, Mark Hoogendoorn +1

Deep reinforcement learning agents progressively lose representational capacity during training: neurons become dormant, removing active capacity from the network, and effective ra…

Disentangled (Un)Controllable Features

Jacob E. Kooi, Mark Hoogendoorn, Vincent François-Lavet

In the context of MDPs with high-dimensional states, downstream tasks are predominantly applied on a compressed, low-dimensional representation of the original input space. A varie…

Inclined Quadrotor Landing using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Jacob E. Kooi, Robert Babuška

Landing a quadrotor on an inclined surface is a challenging maneuver. The final state of any inclined landing trajectory is not an equilibrium, which precludes the use of most conv…
