GP-MoLFormer-Sim: Test Time Molecular Optimization Through Contextual Similarity Guidance

AAAI 2026technical

The ability to design molecules while preserving similarity to a target molecule and/or property is crucial for various applications in drug discovery, chemical design, and biology. We introduce in this paper an efficient training-free method for navigating and sampling from the molecular space with

Revisiting Group Relative Policy Optimization: Insights into On-Policy and Off-Policy Training

ICLR 2026poster

We revisit Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) in both on-policy and off-policy optimization regimes. Our motivation comes from recent work on off-policy Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), which improves training stability, sampling efficiency, and memory usage. In addition, a recent analysis…

Distributional Preference Alignment of LLMs via Optimal Transport

NeurIPS 2024poster

Current LLM alignment techniques use pairwise human preferences at a sample level, and as such, they do not imply an alignment on the distributional level. We propose in this paper Alignment via Optimal Transport (AOT), a novel method for distributional preference alignment of LLMs. AOT aligns LLMs…

Risk Aware Benchmarking of Large Language Models

ICML 2024poster

We propose a distributional framework for benchmarking socio-technical risks of foundation models with quantified statistical significance. Our approach hinges on a new statistical relative testing based on first and second order stochastic dominance of real random variables. We show that the second…
