Abstracting Robot Manipulation Skills via Mixture-of-Experts Diffusion Policies

ICLR 2026poster

Diffusion-based policies have recently shown strong results in robot manipulation, but their extension to multi-task scenarios is hindered by the high cost of scaling model size and demonstrations. We introduce Skill Mixture-of-Experts Policy (SMP), a diffusion-based mixture-of-experts policy that l…

Observation-Graph Interaction and Key-Detail Guidance for Vision and Language Navigation

IROS 2025

Vision and Language Navigation (VLN) requires an agent to navigate through environments following natural language instructions. However, existing methods often struggle with effectively integrating visual observations and instruction details during navigation, leading to suboptimal path planning an

Advancing Generalized Transfer Attack with Initialization Derived Bilevel Optimization and Dynamic Sequence Truncation

IJCAI 2024poster

Transfer attacks generate significant interest for real-world black-box applications by crafting transferable adversarial examples through surrogate models. Whereas, existing works essentially directly optimize the single-level objective w.r.t. the surrogate model, which always leads to poor interpr…

Averaged Method of Multipliers for Bi-Level Optimization without Lower-Level Strong Convexity

ICML 2023poster

Gradient methods have become mainstream techniques for Bi-Level Optimization (BLO) in learning fields. The validity of existing works heavily rely on either a restrictive Lower- Level Strong Convexity (LLSC) condition or on solving a series of approximation subproblems with high accuracy or both. In…

Towards Gradient-based Bilevel Optimization with Non-convex Followers and Beyond

NeurIPS 2021spotlight

In recent years, Bi-Level Optimization (BLO) techniques have received extensive attentions from both learning and vision communities. A variety of BLO models in complex and practical tasks are of non-convex follower structure in nature (a.k.a., without Lower-Level Convexity, LLC for short). However,…

COLA: Communication-censored Linearized ADMM for Decentralized Consensus Optimization

ICASSP 2019accepted

This paper proposes a communication- and computation-efficient algorithm to solve a convex consensus optimization problem defined over a decentralized network. A remarkable existing algorithm to solve this problem is the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), in which at every iteration…

Communication-efficient weighted ADMM for decentralized network optimization

ICASSP 2016accepted

In this paper, we propose a weighted alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to solve the consensus optimization problem over a decentralized network. Compared with the conventional ADMM that is popular in decentralized network optimization, the weighted ADMM is able to tune its weight ma…
