Iterative Refinement Neural Operators are Learned Fixed-Point Solvers: A Principled Approach to Spectral Bias Mitigation

ICML 2026spotlight

Neural operators serve as fast, data-driven surrogates for scientific modeling but typically rely on a monolithic, single-pass inference procedure that struggles to resolve high-frequency details, a limitation known as spectral bias. We introduce the Iterative Refinement Neural Operator (IRNO), whic…

Natural Language PDDL (NL-PDDL) for Open-world Goal-oriented Commonsense Regression Planning in Embodied AI

ICLR 2026poster

Planning in open-world environments, where agents must act with partially observed states and incomplete knowledge, is a central challenge in embodied AI. Open-world planning involves not only sequencing actions but also determining what information the agent needs to sense to enable those actions.…

RL4RLA: Teaching ML to Discover Randomized Linear Algebra Algorithms through Curriculum Design and Graph-based Search

ICML 2026poster

Randomized linear algebra (RLA) algorithms are essential for scaling scientific computing and machine learning, yet their discovery remains mostly a manual process that requires deep expert knowledge and inspiration. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a pathway to automation, standard approach…

ActiveVOO: Value of Observation Guided Active Knowledge Acquisition for Open-World Embodied Lifted Regression Planning

NeurIPS 2025poster

The ability to actively acquire information is essential for open-world planning under partial observability and incomplete knowledge. However, most existing embodied AI systems either assume a known object category or rely on passive perception strategies that exhaustively gather object and relatio…

ModelDiff: Symbolic Dynamic Programming for Model-Aware Policy Transfer in Deep Q-Learning

AAAI 2025technical

Despite significant recent advances in the field of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), such methods typically incur high cost of training to learn effective policies, thus posing cost and safety challenges in many practical applications. To improve the learning efficiency of (D)RL methods, transfer…

Open-World Planning via Lifted Regression with LLM-Inferred Affordances for Embodied Agents

ACL 2025long

Open-world planning with incomplete knowledge is crucial for real-world embodied AI tasks. Despite that, existing LLM-based planners struggle with long chains of sequential reasoning, while symbolic planners face combinatorial explosion of states and actions for complex domains due to reliance on gr…

Sharpness-diversity tradeoff: improving flat ensembles with SharpBalance

NeurIPS 2024poster

Recent studies on deep ensembles have identified the sharpness of the local minima of individual learners and the diversity of the ensemble members as key factors in improving test-time performance. Building on this, our study investigates the interplay between sharpness and diversity within deep en…
