Clipping Low-Probability Tokens in SFT Yields a Generalizable Initialization for RL

ICML 2026poster

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is a critical step for adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized domains, often serving as an initialization for subsequent reinforcement learning (RL). However, SFT can overfit a small set of expert data, harming generalization and eroding prior knowledge. Th…

Semantic Temporal Abstraction via Vision-Language Model Guidance for Efficient Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2025poster

Extracting temporally extended skills can significantly improve the efficiency of reinforcement learning (RL) by breaking down complex decision-making problems with sparse rewards into simpler subtasks and enabling more effective credit assignment. However, existing abstraction methods either discov…

Flow to Better: Offline Preference-based Reinforcement Learning via Preferred Trajectory Generation

ICLR 2024poster

Offline preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) offers an effective solution to overcome the challenges associated with designing rewards and the high costs of online interactions. In offline PbRL, agents are provided with a fixed dataset containing human preferences between pairs of trajecto…

Offline Transition Modeling via Contrastive Energy Learning

ICML 2024poster

Learning a high-quality transition model is of great importance for sequential decision-making tasks, especially in offline settings. Nevertheless, the complex behaviors of transition dynamics in real-world environments pose challenges for the standard forward models because of their inductive bias…
