BRIDGE: Predicting Human Task Completion Time From Model Performance

ICML 2026poster

Evaluating the real-world capabilities of AI systems requires grounding benchmark performance in human-interpretable measures of task difficulty. Existing approaches that rely on direct human task completion time annotations are costly, noisy, and difficult to scale across benchmarks. In this work, …

Squeezing More from the Stream : Learning Representation Online for Streaming Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

In streaming Reinforcement Learning (RL), transitions are observed and discarded immediately after a single update. While this minimizes resource usage for on-device applications, it makes agents notoriously sample-inefficient, since value-based losses alone struggle to extract meaningful representa…

Barrier Functions Inspired Reward Shaping for Reinforcement Learning

ICRA 2024poster

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has progressed from simple control tasks to complex real-world challenges with large state spaces. While RL excels in these tasks, training time remains a limitation. Reward shaping is a popular solution, but existing methods often rely on value functions, which face scal…
