Look Before You Leap: Using Serialized State Machine for Language Conditioned Robotic Manipulation

IROS 2025

Imitation learning frameworks for robotic manipulation have drawn attention in the recent development of language model grounded robotics. However, the success of the frameworks largely depends on the coverage of the demonstration cases: When the demonstration set does not include examples of how to

Rule Based Rewards for Language Model Safety

NeurIPS 2024poster

Reinforcement learning based fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) on human preferences has been shown to enhance both their capabilities and safety behavior. However, in cases related to safety, without precise instructions to human annotators, the data collected may cause the model to beco…

Simple Embodied Language Learning as a Byproduct of Meta-Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2023poster

Whereas machine learning models typically learn language by directly training on language tasks (e.g., next-word prediction), language emerges in human children as a byproduct of solving non-language tasks (e.g., acquiring food). Motivated by this observation, we ask: can embodied reinforcement lear…

Constraint Sampling Reinforcement Learning: Incorporating Expertise for Faster Learning

AAAI 2022technical

Online reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are often difficult to deploy in complex human-facing applications as they may learn slowly and have poor early performance. To address this, we introduce a practical algorithm for incorporating human insight to speed learning. Our algorithm, Constraint…

Factored DRO: Factored Distributionally Robust Policies for Contextual Bandits

NeurIPS 2022accept

While there has been extensive work on learning from offline data for contextual multi-armed bandit settings, existing methods typically assume there is no environment shift: that the learned policy will operate in the same environmental process as that of data collection. However, this assumption m…
