Personalizing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback with Variational Preference Learning

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a powerful paradigm for aligning foundation models to human values and preferences. However, current RLHF techniques cannot account for the naturally occurring differences in individual human preferences across a diverse population. When these dif…

From Crowd Motion Prediction to Robot Navigation in Crowds

IROS 2023poster

We focus on robot navigation in crowded environments. To navigate safely and efficiently within crowds, robots need models for crowd motion prediction. Building such models is hard due to the high dimensionality of multiagent domains and the challenge of collecting or simulating interaction-rich cro…

Winding Through: Crowd Navigation via Topological Invariance

RA-L 2023

We focus on robot navigation in crowded environments. The challenge of predicting the motion of a crowd around a robot makes it hard to ensure human safety and comfort. Recent approaches often employ end-to-end techniques for robot control or deep architectures for high-fidelity human motion predict
