Beyond Scalar Rewards: Learning from Text Feedback in LLM Post-Training

ICML 2026poster

The success of RL for LLM post-training stems from an unreasonably uninformative source: a single bit of information per rollout as binary reward or preference label. At the other extreme, distillation offers dense supervision but requires demonstrations, which are costly and difficult to scale. We …

Affordances From Human Videos as a Versatile Representation for Robotics

CVPR 2023poster

Building a robot that can understand and learn to interact by watching humans has inspired several vision problems. However, despite some successful results on static datasets, it remains unclear how current models can be used on a robot directly. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap by leveragi…

PlayFusion: Skill Acquisition via Diffusion from Language-Annotated Play

CoRL 2023poster

Learning from unstructured and uncurated data has become the dominant paradigm for generative approaches in language or vision. Such unstructured and unguided behavior data, commonly known as play, is also easier to collect in robotics but much more difficult to learn from due to its inherently mult…

Decision Transformer: Reinforcement Learning via Sequence Modeling

NeurIPS 2021poster

We introduce a framework that abstracts Reinforcement Learning (RL) as a sequence modeling problem. This allows us to draw upon the simplicity and scalability of the Transformer architecture, and associated advances in language modeling such as GPT-x and BERT. In particular, we present Decision Tran…

Improving Computational Efficiency in Visual Reinforcement Learning via Stored Embeddings

NeurIPS 2021poster

Recent advances in off-policy deep reinforcement learning (RL) have led to impressive success in complex tasks from visual observations. Experience replay improves sample-efficiency by reusing experiences from the past, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) process high-dimensional inputs effecti…

State Entropy Maximization with Random Encoders for Efficient Exploration

ICML 2021spotlight

Recent exploration methods have proven to be a recipe for improving sample-efficiency in deep reinforcement learning (RL). However, efficient exploration in high-dimensional observation spaces still remains a challenge. This paper presents Random Encoders for Efficient Exploration (RE3), an explorat…

3DCFS: Fast and Robust Joint 3D Semantic-Instance Segmentation via Coupled Feature Selection

ICRA 2020poster

We propose a novel fast and robust 3D point clouds segmentation framework via coupled feature selection, named 3DCFS, that jointly performs semantic and instance segmentation. Inspired by the human scene perception process, we design a novel coupled feature selection module, named CFSM, that adaptiv…
