OGPO: Sample Efficient Full-Finetuning of Generative Control Policies
Sarvesh Patil, Mitsuhiko Nakamoto, Manan Agarwal +14
Generative control policies (GCPs), such as diffusion- and flow-based control policies, have emerged as effective parameterizations for robot learning. This work introduces Off-pol…
Momentum Streams for Optimizer-Inspired Transformers
Jingchu Gai, Nai-Chieh Huang, Jiayun Wu
The residual update of a pre-norm Transformer layer admits an interpretation as one step of a first-order optimizer acting on a surrogate token energy, wherein the attention and ML…
PPO-Clip Attains Global Optimality: Towards Deeper Understandings of Clipping
Nai-Chieh Huang, Ping-Chun Hsieh, Kuo-Hao Ho +1
Proximal Policy Optimization algorithm employing a clipped surrogate objective (PPO-Clip) is a prominent exemplar of the policy optimization methods. However, despite its remarkabl…
Accelerated Policy Gradient: On the Convergence Rates of the Nesterov Momentum for Reinforcement Learning
Yen-Ju Chen, Nai-Chieh Huang, Ching-Pei Lee +1
Various acceleration approaches for Policy Gradient (PG) have been analyzed within the realm of Reinforcement Learning (RL). However, the theoretical understanding of the widely us…
