Yes, Q-learning Helps Offline In-Context RL

Denis Tarasov, Alexander Nikulin, Ilya Zisman +6

Existing offline in-context reinforcement learning (ICRL) methods have predominantly relied on supervised training objectives, which are known to have limitations in offline RL set…

Vintix II: Decision Pre-Trained Transformer is a Scalable In-Context Reinforcement Learner

Andrei Polubarov, Lyubaykin Nikita, Alexander Derevyagin +11

Recent progress in in-context reinforcement learning (ICRL) has demonstrated its potential for training generalist agents that can acquire new tasks directly at inference. Algorith…

Vision-Language Models Unlock Task-Centric Latent Actions

Alexander Nikulin, Ilya Zisman, Albina Klepach +5

Latent Action Models (LAMs) have rapidly gained traction as an important component in the pre-training pipelines of leading Vision-Language-Action models. However, they fail when o…

Object-Centric Latent Action Learning

Albina Klepach, Alexander Nikulin, Ilya Zisman +6

Leveraging vast amounts of unlabeled internet video data for embodied AI is currently bottlenecked by the lack of action labels and the presence of action-correlated visual distrac…

NinA: Normalizing Flows in Action. Training VLA Models with Normalizing Flows

Denis Tarasov, Alexander Nikulin, Ilya Zisman +5

Recent advances in Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have established a two-component architecture, where a pre-trained Vision-Language Model (VLM) encodes visual observations an…

Latent Action Learning Requires Supervision in the Presence of Distractors

Alexander Nikulin, Ilya Zisman, Denis Tarasov +4

Recently, latent action learning, pioneered by Latent Action Policies (LAPO), have shown remarkable pre-training efficiency on observation-only data, offering potential for leverag…
