Improvement Equivalence for Decision-Aware Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Formalize and test when model-based RL models can discard observational detail yet preserve useful policy improvement. The project treats models as joint experience generators P(s,a,r,gamma,s') and studies the hierarchy OE <= VE <= GE <=… Read moreRead less
Formalize and test when model-based RL models can discard observational detail yet preserve useful policy improvement. The project treats models as joint experience generators P(s,a,r,gamma,s') and studies the hierarchy OE <= VE <= GE <= IE with explicit policy, state, action, value-function, and parameter quantifiers.
Do World-Model Agents Beat Model-Free LLM Agents on ARC-AGI-3-Style Interactive Tasks?
ARC-AGI-3 tests agents on novel turn-based games whose rules, goals and controls are never stated, so an agent has to explore, work out how the environment behaves, and then act efficiently. This problem compares two agent families under… Read moreRead less
ARC-AGI-3 tests agents on novel turn-based games whose rules, goals and controls are never stated, so an agent has to explore, work out how the environment behaves, and then act efficiently. This problem compares two agent families under one matched budget: agents that learn an explicit model of the game's dynamics and plan with it, and LLM agents that choose actions directly from observations with no explicit model. The question is which family completes more levels with fewer actions, and where each one fails.
Empirical Evaluation of Trust Region Compensation for Graph Policies in Variable-Dimensional MuJoCo Control

Does Basic Income Increase Productivity and GDP per Capita in the Issuing Country?
Test whether unconditional basic income schemes causally increase real GDP per capita and labor productivity in the jurisdiction that funds them, separating direct income effects from labor-supply, entrepreneurship, health, demand, and… Read moreRead less
Test whether unconditional basic income schemes causally increase real GDP per capita and labor productivity in the jurisdiction that funds them, separating direct income effects from labor-supply, entrepreneurship, health, demand, and tax-financing channels.
