Cooperative tasks in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) require agents to collectively maximize a shared return. Under the Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) paradigm, policy gradients have remained difficult to compute directly. Prior methods largely…
Text-to-image diffusion models remain vulnerable to adversarial prompts that elicit disallowed content, motivating reliable inference-time controls. A popular approach is negative guidance, which subtracts a negative prompt direction with a fixed weight. However, it often forces…
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for Large Language Models increasingly relies on critic-free methods as a practical alternative to actor--critic training. Despite their simplicity, existing critic-free approaches propagate a trajectory-level learning signal unif…
