A Hessian-Free Actor-Critic Algorithm for Bi-Level Reinforcement Learning with Applications to LLM Fine-Tuning

Sihan Zeng, Sujay Bhatt, Sumitra Ganesh +1

We study a structured bi-level optimization problem where the upper-level objective is a smooth function and the lower-level problem is policy optimization in a Markov decision pro…

No One Size Fits All: QueryBandits for Hallucination Mitigation

Nicole Cho, William Watson, Alec Koppel +2

Advanced reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to more frequent hallucinations; yet most mitigation work focuses on open-source models for post-hoc detect…

Learning in Stackelberg Mean Field Games: A Non-Asymptotic Analysis

Sihan Zeng, Benjamin Patrick Evans, Sujay Bhatt +3

We study policy optimization in Stackelberg mean field games (MFGs), a hierarchical framework for modeling the strategic interaction between a single leader and an infinitely large…

QueryBandits for Hallucination Mitigation: Exploiting Semantic Features for No-Regret Rewriting

Nicole Cho, William Watson, Alec Koppel +2

Advanced reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) have caused higher hallucination prevalence; yet most mitigation work focuses on after-the-fact filtering rather tha…

GenARM: Reward Guided Generation with Autoregressive Reward Model for Test-time Alignment

Yuancheng Xu, Udari Madhushani Sehwag, Alec Koppel +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities but require careful alignment with human preferences. Traditional training-time methods finetune LLMs using human prefe…

Approximate Equivariance in Reinforcement Learning

Jung Yeon Park, Sujay Bhatt, Sihan Zeng +4

Equivariant neural networks have shown great success in reinforcement learning, improving sample efficiency and generalization when there is symmetry in the task. However, in many…
