Relative Entropy Pathwise Policy Optimization

ICLR 2026poster

Score-function based methods for policy learning, such as REINFORCE and PPO, have delivered strong results in game-playing and robotics, yet their high variance often undermines training stability. Using pathwise policy gradients, i.e. computing a derivative by differentiating the objective function…

Trust-Region Diffusion Policies for Massively Parallel On-Policy RL

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement learning with massively parallel simulations has become an emerging trend; however, most existing approaches still rely on simple Gaussian policy parameterizations. Diffusion models provide a more expressive policy class and have shown strong performance on challenging control problems…

Scenario-Based Curriculum Generation for Multi-Agent Driving

ICRA 2025

The automated generation of diversified training scenarios has been an important ingredient in many complex learning tasks, especially in real-world application domains such as autonomous driving, where auto-curriculum generation is considered vital for obtaining robust and general policies. However

Latent Imagination Facilitates Zero-Shot Transfer in Autonomous Racing

ICRA 2022poster

World models learn behaviors in a latent imagination space to enhance the sample-efficiency of deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. While learning world models for high-dimensional observations (e.g., pixel inputs) has become practicable on standard RL benchmarks and some games, their effect…
