Currently the most powerful AI systems are aligned with human values via reinforcement learning from human feedback. Yet, reinforcement learning from human feedback models human preferences as noisy samples from a single linear ordering of shared human values and is unable to incorporate democratic…
Learning in high-dimensional MDPs with complex state dynamics became possible with the progress achieved in reinforcement learning research. At the same time, deep neural policies have been observed to be highly unstable with respect to the minor variations in their state space, causing volatile an…
Starting from the utilization of deep neural networks to approximate the state-action value function that led to winning one of the most challenging games, to algorithmic advancements that allowed solving problems without even explicitly stating the rules of the challenge at hand, reinforcement lear
Reinforcement learning from human feedback is the leading approach to aligning powerful AI systems so that they can be safe and helpful for humanity. While RLHF is typically modelled as a problem of learning a single preference ranking from noisy feedback, true human preferences are complex and ofte…
Following the pivotal success of learning strategies to win at tasks, solely by interacting with an environment without any supervision, agents have gained the ability to make sequential decisions in complex MDPs. Yet, reinforcement learning policies face exponentially growing state spaces in high d…
Deep neural policies have recently been installed in a diverse range of settings, from biotechnology to automated financial systems.

Learning from raw high dimensional data via interaction with a given environment has been effectively achieved through the utilization of deep neural networks. Yet the observed degradation in policy performance caused by imperceptible worst-case policy dependent translations along high sensitivity d…
Learning in MDPs with highly complex state representations is currently possible due to multiple advancements in reinforcement learning algorithm design. However, this incline in complexity, and furthermore the increase in the dimensions of the observation came at the cost of volatility that can be…
The use of deep neural networks as function approximators has led to striking progress for reinforcement learning algorithms and applications. Yet the knowledge we have on decision boundary geometry and the loss landscape of neural policies is still quite limited. In this paper, we propose a framewo…
Reinforcement learning policies based on deep neural networks are vulnerable to imperceptible adversarial perturbations to their inputs, in much the same way as neural network image classifiers. Recent work has proposed several methods to improve the robustness of deep reinforcement learning agents…
