Retrieval-Augmented LLM Agents: Learning to Learn from Experience

Thomas Palmeira Ferraz, Romain Deffayet, Vassilina Nikoulina +2

While large language models (LLMs) have advanced the development of general-purpose agents, achieving robust generalization to unseen tasks remains a significant challenge. Current…

Robust Skills, Brittle Grounding: Diagnosing Restricted Generalization in Vision-Language Action Policies via Multi-Object Picking

David Emukpere, Romain Deffayet, Jean-Michel Renders

Vision-language action (VLA) policies often report strong manipulation benchmark performance with relatively few demonstrations, but it remains unclear whether this reflects robust…

RANa: Retrieval-Augmented Navigation

Gianluca Monaci, Rafael S. Rezende, Romain Deffayet +5

Methods for navigation based on large-scale learning typically treat each episode as a new problem, where the agent is spawned with a clean memory in an unknown environment. While…

Distributional Reinforcement Learning with Dual Expectile-Quantile Regression

Sami Jullien, Romain Deffayet, Jean-Michel Renders +2

Distributional reinforcement learning (RL) has proven useful in multiple benchmarks as it enables approximating the full distribution of returns and extracts rich feedback from env…

Disentangled Object-Centric Image Representation for Robotic Manipulation

David Emukpere, Romain Deffayet, Bingbing Wu +6

Learning robotic manipulation skills from vision is a promising approach for developing robotics applications that can generalize broadly to real-world scenarios. As such, many app…

An Offline Metric for the Debiasedness of Click Models

Romain Deffayet, Philipp Hager, Jean-Michel Renders +1

A well-known problem when learning from user clicks are inherent biases prevalent in the data, such as position or trust bias. Click models are a common method for extracting infor…
