RosettaSearch: Multi-Objective Inference-Time Search for Protein Sequence Design

Meghana Kshirsagar, Allen Nie, Ching-An Cheng +5

We introduce RosettaSearch, an inference-time multi-objective optimization approach for backbone conditioned protein sequence design. We use large language models (LLMs) as a gener…

POLCA: Stochastic Generative Optimization with LLM

Xuanfei Ren, Allen Nie, Tengyang Xie +1

Optimizing complex systems, ranging from LLM prompts to multi-turn agents, traditionally requires labor-intensive manual iteration. We formalize this challenge as a stochastic gene…

Understanding the Challenges in Iterative Generative Optimization with LLMs

Allen Nie, Xavier Daull, Zhiyi Kuang +10

Generative optimization uses large language models (LLMs) to iteratively improve artifacts (such as code, workflows or prompts) using execution feedback. It is a promising approach…

Formalizing Learning from Language Feedback with Provable Guarantees

Wanqiao Xu, Allen Nie, Ruijie Zheng +3

Interactively learning from observation and language feedback is an increasingly studied area driven by the emergence of large language model (LLM) agents. Despite impressive empir…

How to Solve Contextual Goal-Oriented Problems with Offline Datasets?

Ying Fan, Jingling Li, Adith Swaminathan +2

We present a novel method, Contextual goal-Oriented Data Augmentation (CODA), which uses commonly available unlabeled trajectories and context-goal pairs to solve Contextual Goal-O…

PRISE: LLM-Style Sequence Compression for Learning Temporal Action Abstractions in Control

Ruijie Zheng, Ching-An Cheng, Hal Daumé +2

Temporal action abstractions, along with belief state representations, are a powerful knowledge sharing mechanism for sequential decision making. In this work, we propose a novel v…
