Diffusion-Enhanced Tree Planning for Autonomous Driving

RA-L 2026

In highly interactive urban driving, decision making is often naturally multi-stage, and decisions at different stages can lead to different reactions from surrounding vehicles. This calls for stage-wise evaluation and selection. Tree-based planning naturally supports multi-stage search and evaluati

Escaping Model Collapse via Synthetic Data Verification: Near-term Improvements and Long-term Convergence

ICLR 2026poster

Synthetic data has been increasingly used to train frontier generative models. However, recent study raises key concerns that iteratively retraining a generative model on its self-generated synthetic data may keep deteriorating model performance, a phenomenon often coined model collapse. In this pap…

Learning robust representation for reinforcement learning with distractions by reward sequence prediction

UAI 2023poster

Reinforcement learning algorithms have achieved remarkable success in acquiring behavioral skills directly from pixel inputs. However, their application in real-world scenarios presents challenges due to their sensitivity to visual distractions (e.g., changes in viewpoint and light). A key factor co…

Robust Representation Learning by Clustering with Bisimulation Metrics for Visual Reinforcement Learning with Distractions

AAAI 2023technical

Recent work has shown that representation learning plays a critical role in sample-efficient reinforcement learning (RL) from pixels. Unfortunately, in real-world scenarios, representation learning is usually fragile to task-irrelevant distractions such as variations in background or viewpoint. To t…
