Diffusion Policy for Visuomotor Control
- Implemented diffusion-policy architectures for robot action generation conditioned on visual and proprioceptive observations.
- Studied state-of-the-art transformer-based denoising policies for sequential decision-making in robotics.
Pseudoinverse-Guided Diffusion Models for Inverse Problems
- Implemented a training-free guidance method for diffusion models using pseudoinverse approximations of forward operators.
- Applied the method to image restoration tasks including inpainting, super-resolution, blur, and compression artifacts, and compared against diffusion posterior sampling baselines.
LLM Agents for Text-Based Game Reasoning (Zork)
- Designed autonomous LLM agents for planning, memory, and interaction in text-based environments such as Zork/Jericho.
- Implemented reasoning loops and action-selection policies to improve exploration in partially observable environments.
Controlled and Efficient LLM Generation
- Implemented controlled decoding methods for language models, including DFA/FSM-constrained generation for structured outputs and rule-based constraints.
- Studied inference-efficiency techniques for transformers, including KV-cache optimization, LoRA-based adaptation, and FlashAttention-style memory-efficient attention.
