Fix the Mind, Not the Move: Interpretable AI Assistance via Knowledge-Gap Localization

ICML 2026poster

AI assistants in human-AI collaboration often correct suboptimal human actions through behavioral feedback (e.g., alerts or steering-wheel nudges in assistive driving). Such interventions can mitigate immediate errors, but long-term improvement requires addressing the underlying misconceptions that …

HERO: Human-Feedback Efficient Reinforcement Learning for Online Diffusion Model Finetuning

ICLR 2025poster

Controllable generation through Stable Diffusion (SD) fine-tuning aims to improve fidelity, safety, and alignment with human guidance. Existing reinforcement learning from human feedback methods usually rely on predefined heuristic reward functions or pretrained reward models built on large-scale da…

NOIR: Neural Signal Operated Intelligent Robots for Everyday Activities

CoRL 2023poster

We present Neural Signal Operated Intelligent Robots (NOIR), a general-purpose, intelligent brain-robot interface system that enables humans to command robots to perform everyday activities through brain signals. Through this interface, humans communicate their intended objects of interest and actio…

Primitive Skill-Based Robot Learning from Human Evaluative Feedback

IROS 2023poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms face significant challenges when dealing with long-horizon robot manipulation tasks in real-world environments due to sample inefficiency and safety issues. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel framework, SEED, which leverages two approaches: reinfo…

A Dual Representation Framework for Robot Learning with Human Guidance

CoRL 2022poster

The ability to interactively learn skills from human guidance and adjust behavior according to human preference is crucial to accelerating robot learning. But human guidance is an expensive resource, calling for methods that can learn efficiently. In this work, we argue that learning is more efficie…
