The integration of dynamic, sparse structures like Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with parameter-efficient adapters (e.g., LoRA) is a powerful technique for enhancing Large Language Models (LLMs). However, this architectural enhancement comes at a steep cost: despite minimal increases in computational loa
Hand-craft reward engineering requires domain knowledge with numerous trials and errors, while Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (PbRL) avoids manual reward design but often suffers from limited interpretability and unstable training. To address these issues, we propose a novel preference alig
While natural language is commonly used to guide embodied agents, the inherent ambiguity and verbosity of language often hinder the effectiveness of language-guided navigation in complex environments. To this end, we propose Visual Prompt Navigation (VPN), a novel paradigm that guides agents to navi
Decision Transformer (DT), which employs expressive sequence modeling techniques to perform action generation, has emerged as a promising approach to offline policy optimization. However, DT generates actions conditioned on a desired future return, which is known to bear some weaknesses such as the…
In offline Reinforcement Learning (RL), the pre-trained policies are utilized for initialization and subsequent online fine-tuning. However, existing methods suffer from instability and low sample efficiency compared to pure online learning. This paper identifies these limitations stemming from dire…
Current policy gradient techniques excel in refining policies over sampled states but falter when generalizing to unseen states. To address this, we introduce Reinforcement Sampling (RS), a novel method leveraging a generalizable action value function to sample improved decisions. RS is able to impr…
Mixture of experts (MoE) is a popular technique to improve capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs) with conditionally-activated parallel experts. However, serving MoE models on memory-constrained devices is challenging due to the large parameter size. Typical solutions such as memory swapping or ex…
