Efficient Reinforcement Learning with Large Language Model Priors

ICLR 2025poster

In sequential decision-making (SDM) tasks, methods like reinforcement learning (RL) and heuristic search have made notable advances in specific cases. However, they often require extensive exploration and face challenges in generalizing across diverse environments due to their limited grasp of the u…

Self-Verifying Reflection Helps Transformers with CoT Reasoning

NeurIPS 2025poster

Advanced large language models (LLMs) frequently reflect in reasoning chain-of-thoughts (CoTs), where they self-verify the correctness of current solutions and explore alternatives. However, given recent findings that LLMs detect limited errors in CoTs, how reflection contributes to empirical improv…

An Efficient End-to-End Training Approach for Zero-Shot Human-AI Coordination

NeurIPS 2023poster

The goal of zero-shot human-AI coordination is to develop an agent that can collaborate with humans without relying on human data. Prevailing two-stage population-based methods require a diverse population of mutually distinct policies to simulate diverse human behaviors. The necessity of such popul…

Learning to Identify Top Elo Ratings: A Dueling Bandits Approach

AAAI 2022technical

The Elo rating system is widely adopted to evaluate the skills of (chess) game and sports players. Recently it has been also integrated into machine learning algorithms in evaluating the performance of computerised AI agents. However, an accurate estimation of the Elo rating (for the top players) of…

Estimating $α$-Rank from A Few Entries with Low Rank Matrix Completion

ICML 2021spotlight

Multi-agent evaluation aims at the assessment of an agent’s strategy on the basis of interaction with others. Typically, existing methods such as $\alpha$-rank and its approximation still require to exhaustively compare all pairs of joint strategies for an accurate ranking, which in practice is comp…
