ActiveUltraFeedback: Efficient Preference Data Generation using Active Learning

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has become the standard for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs), yet its efficacy is bottlenecked by the high cost of acquiring preference data, especially in low-resource and expert domains. To address this, we introduce ActiveUltraFeedback, a mod…

Deep RL at Scale: Sorting Waste in Office Buildings with a Fleet of Mobile Manipulators

RSS 2023poster

We describe a system for deep reinforcement learning of robotic manipulation skills applied to a large-scale real-world task: sorting recyclables and trash in office buildings. Real-world deployment of deep RL policies requires not only effective training algorithms, but the ability to bootstrap rea…

EEGNN: Edge Enhanced Graph Neural Network with a Bayesian Nonparametric Graph Model

AISTATS 2023poster

Training deep graph neural networks (GNNs) poses a challenging task, as the performance of GNNs may suffer from the number of hidden message-passing layers. The literature has focused on the proposals of over-smoothing and under-reaching to explain the performance deterioration of deep GNNs. In this…

GreedyCAS: Unsupervised Scientific Abstract Segmentation with Normalized Mutual Information

EMNLP 2023long main

The abstracts of scientific papers typically contain both premises (e.g., background and observations) and conclusions. Although conclusion sentences are highlighted in structured abstracts, in non-structured abstracts the concluding information is not explicitly marked, which makes the automatic s…

CATVI: Conditional and Adaptively Truncated Variational Inference for Hierarchical Bayesian Nonparametric Models

AISTATS 2022poster

Current variational inference methods for hierarchical Bayesian nonparametric models can neither characterize the correlation structure among latent variables due to the mean-field setting, nor infer the true posterior dimension because of the universal truncation. To overcome these limitations, we…
