Large Language Models as Zero-Shot Human Models for Human-Robot Interaction

We explore the potential of LLMs to act as zero-shot human models for HRI. We contribute an empirical study and case studies on a simulated table-clearing task and a new robot utensil-passing experiment.

Translating Natural Language to Planning Goals with Large-Language Models

We contribute an empirical study into the effectiveness of LLMs, specifically GPT-3.5 variants, for the task of natural language goal translation to PDDL.

MIRROR for Assistive Human-Robot Communication

Inspired by Social Projection Theory, we use the robot's self model to efficiently model humans.

Neural Continuous-Discrete State Space Models for Irregularly-Sampled Time Series

We develop a family of stable continuous-time neural state space-models.

Generative Modeling with Flow-Guided Density Ratio Learning

We extend gradient flow methods to a variety of high-quality image synthesis tasks using a novel density ratio learning method.

Safety-Constrained Policy Transfer with Successor Features

Transfer source policies to a target reinforcement learning task with safety constraints using Successor Features.

Heterogeneous Beliefs and Multi-Population Learning in Network Games

We introduce a model of multi-population learning with heterogenous beliefs.

Observed Adversaries in Deep Reinforcement Learning

We examine the problem of observed adversaries for deep policies, where observations of other agents can hamper robot performance.
