Training Language Models to Self-Correct via Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2025oral

Self-correction is a highly desirable capability of large language models (LLMs), yet it has consistently been found to be largely ineffective in modern LLMs. Current methods for training self-correction typically depend on either multiple models, a more advanced model, or additional forms of super…

Transformers Meet Directed Graphs

ICML 2023poster

Transformers were originally proposed as a sequence-to-sequence model for text but have become vital for a wide range of modalities, including images, audio, video, and undirected graphs. However, transformers for directed graphs are a surprisingly underexplored topic, despite their applicability to…

COptiDICE: Offline Constrained Reinforcement Learning via Stationary Distribution Correction Estimation

ICLR 2022spotlight

We consider the offline constrained reinforcement learning (RL) problem, in which the agent aims to compute a policy that maximizes expected return while satisfying given cost constraints, learning only from a pre-collected dataset. This problem setting is appealing in many real-world scenarios, whe…

Active Offline Policy Selection

NeurIPS 2021poster

This paper addresses the problem of policy selection in domains with abundant logged data, but with a restricted interaction budget. Solving this problem would enable safe evaluation and deployment of offline reinforcement learning policies in industry, robotics, and recommendation domains among oth…

Autoregressive Dynamics Models for Offline Policy Evaluation and Optimization

ICLR 2021poster

Standard dynamics models for continuous control make use of feedforward computation to predict the conditional distribution of next state and reward given current state and action using a multivariate Gaussian with a diagonal covariance structure. This modeling choice assumes that different dimensio…

Benchmarks for Deep Off-Policy Evaluation

ICLR 2021poster

Off-policy evaluation (OPE) holds the promise of being able to leverage large, offline datasets for both evaluating and selecting complex policies for decision making. The ability to learn offline is particularly important in many real-world domains, such as in healthcare, recommender systems, or ro…

RL Unplugged: A Suite of Benchmarks for Offline Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2020poster

Offline methods for reinforcement learning have a potential to help bridge the gap between reinforcement learning research and real-world applications. They make it possible to learn policies from offline datasets, thus overcoming concerns associated with online data collection in the real-world, in…
