Benchmarking World-Model Learning with Environment-Level Queries

ICML 2026poster

World models are central to building AI agents capable of flexible reasoning and planning. Yet current evaluations (i) test only properties measurable from observed interactions within an environment, such as next-frame prediction or task return, and (ii) do not test whether a learned model supports…

ExoPredicator: Learning Abstract Models of Dynamic Worlds for Robot Planning

ICLR 2026poster

Long‑horizon embodied planning is challenging because the world does not only change through an agent’s actions: exogenous processes (e.g., water heating, dominoes cascading) unfold concurrently with the agent's actions. We propose a framework for abstract world models that jointly learns (i) symbol…

Computably Continuous Reinforcement-Learning Objectives Are PAC-Learnable

AAAI 2023technical

In reinforcement learning, the classic objectives of maximizing discounted and finite-horizon cumulative rewards are PAC-learnable: There are algorithms that learn a near-optimal policy with high probability using a finite amount of samples and computation. In recent years, researchers have introdu…

On the (In)Tractability of Reinforcement Learning for LTL Objectives

IJCAI 2022poster

In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in devising reinforcement-learning algorithms for optimizing linear temporal logic (LTL) objectives and LTL-like objectives. Despite these advancements, there are fundamental limitations to how well this problem can be solved. Previous stu…

Compiler Auto-Vectorization with Imitation Learning

NeurIPS 2019poster

Modern microprocessors are equipped with single instruction multiple data (SIMD) or vector instruction sets which allow compilers to exploit fine-grained data level parallelism. To exploit this parallelism, compilers employ auto-vectorization techniques to automatically convert scalar code into vect…
