Learnability-Informed Fine-Tuning of Diffusion Language Models
Shubham Parashar, Atharv Chagi, Jacob Helwig +5
We aim to improve the reasoning capabilities of diffusion language models (DLMs). While SFT is a popular post-training recipe for autoregressive models, its use in DLMs faces chall…
Adaptive Outer-Loop Control of Quadrotors via Reinforcement Learning
Vishnu Saj, Sushil Vemuri, Dileep Kalathil +1
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for quadrotor flight control typically relies on Domain Randomization (DR) for sim-to-real transfer, resulting in overly conservative policies tha…
Curriculum Reinforcement Learning from Easy to Hard Tasks Improves LLM Reasoning
Shubham Parashar, Shurui Gui, Xiner Li +8
We aim to improve the reasoning capabilities of language models via reinforcement learning (RL). Recent RL post-trained models like DeepSeek-R1 have demonstrated reasoning abilitie…
Robust LLM Alignment via Distributionally Robust Direct Preference Optimization
Zaiyan Xu, Sushil Vemuri, Kishan Panaganti +3
A major challenge in aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences is the issue of distribution shift. LLM alignment algorithms rely on static preference datasets, a…
