NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Imitation learning seeks policies reflecting the values of demonstrated behaviors. Prevalent approaches learn to match or exceed the demonstrator's performance in expectation without knowing the demonstrator’s reward function. Unfortunately, this does not induce pluralistic imitators that learn to s…

NeurIPS 2022accept

Structured prediction of tree-shaped objects is heavily studied under the name of syntactic dependency parsing. Current practice based on maximum likelihood or margin is either agnostic to or inconsistent with the evaluation loss. Risk minimization alleviates the discrepancy between training and tes…
