EpMAN: Episodic Memory AttentioN for Generalizing to Longer Contexts

ACL 2025long

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have yielded impressive successes on many language tasks. However, efficient processing of long contexts using LLMs remains a significant challenge. We introduce **EpMAN** – a method for processing long contexts in an episodic memory module while holis…

Meta-D2AG: Causal Graph Learning with Interventional Dynamic Data

NeurIPS 2025poster

Causal discovery in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for dynamic time series data has been widely studied in various applications. Much of the existing work has focused on observational, offline, and/or stationary settings. In this work, we propose a dynamic DAG discovery algorithm, Meta-D…

Q-function Decomposition with Intervention Semantics for Factored Action Spaces

AISTATS 2025poster

Many practical reinforcement learning environments have a discrete factored action space that induces a large combinatorial set of actions, thereby posing significant challenges. Existing approaches leverage the regular structure of the action space and resort to a linear decomposition of Q-functio…

Larimar: Large Language Models with Episodic Memory Control

ICML 2024poster

Efficient and accurate updating of knowledge stored in Large Language Models (LLMs) is one of the most pressing research challenges today. This paper presents Larimar - a novel, brain-inspired architecture for enhancing LLMs with a distributed episodic memory. Larimar's memory allows for dynamic, on…

IDYNO: Learning Nonparametric DAGs from Interventional Dynamic Data

ICML 2022spotlight

Causal discovery in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for time series data has been widely studied in various domains. The resulting DAG typically represents a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN), capturing both the instantaneous and time-delayed relationships among variables of interest. We pro…

Linearizing contextual bandits with latent state dynamics

UAI 2022poster

In many real-world applications of multi-armed bandit problems, both rewards and contexts are often influenced by confounding latent variables which evolve stochastically over time. While the observed contexts and rewards are nonlinearly related, we show that prior knowledge of latent causal structu…
