Contractive Diffusion Policies: Robust Action Diffusion via Contractive Score-Based Sampling with Differential Equations

ICLR 2026poster

Diffusion policies have emerged as powerful generative models for offline policy learning, whose sampling process can be rigorously characterized by a score function guiding a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE). However, the same score-based SDE modeling that grants diffusion policies the flexib…

VOCALoco: Viability-Optimized Cost-Aware Adaptive Locomotion

RA-L 2026

Recent advancements in legged robot locomotion have facilitated traversal over increasingly complex terrains. Despite this progress, many existing approaches rely on end-to-end deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which poses limitations in terms of safety and interpretability, especially when general

Contextual Pre-planning on Reward Machine Abstractions for Enhanced Transfer in Deep Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2024technical

Recent studies show that deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents tend to overfit to the task on which they were trained and fail to adapt to minor environment changes. To expedite learning when transferring to unseen tasks, we propose a novel approach to representing the current task using reward m…

Taming the Tail in Class-Conditional GANs: Knowledge Sharing via Unconditional Training at Lower Resolutions

CVPR 2024poster

Despite extensive research on training generative adversarial networks (GANs) with limited training data learning to generate images from long-tailed training distributions remains fairly unexplored. In the presence of imbalanced multi-class training data GANs tend to favor classes with more samples…

Re-understanding Finite-State Representations of Recurrent Policy Networks

ICML 2021spotlight

We introduce an approach for understanding control policies represented as recurrent neural networks. Recent work has approached this problem by transforming such recurrent policy networks into finite-state machines (FSM) and then analyzing the equivalent minimized FSM. While this led to interesting…
