Classical search algorithms have long underpinned modern artificial intelligence. In this work, we tackle the challenge of inference-time control in diffusion models—adapting generated outputs to meet diverse test-time objectives—using principles from classical search. We propose a general framework…
Recent advancements in diffusion models have revolutionized generative modeling. However, the impressive and vivid outputs they produce often come at the cost of significant model scaling and increased computational demands. Consequently, building personalized diffusion models based on off-the-shelf…
In this work, we study the logarithmic regret for reinforcement learning (RL) with linear function approximation and adversarial corruptions, in the formulation of linear Markov decision processes (MDPs). Specifically, we consider the case where there exist adversarial corruptions over the reward fu…
Heterogeneity poses a fundamental challenge for many real-world large-scale decision-making problems but remains largely understudied. In this paper, we study the _fully heterogeneous_ setting of a prominent class of such problems, known as weakly-coupled Markov decision processes (WCMDPs). Each WCM…
In the realm of reinforcement learning (RL), accounting for risk is crucial for making decisions under uncertainty, particularly in applications where safety and reliability are paramount. In this paper, we introduce a general framework on Risk-Sensitive Distributional Reinforcement Learning (RS-Dis…
