no code implementations25 Jan 2024 Guangyi Chen, Yifan Shen, Zhenhao Chen, Xiangchen Song, Yuewen Sun, Weiran Yao, Xiao Liu, Kun Zhang

Identifying the underlying time-delayed latent causal processes in sequential data is vital for grasping temporal dynamics and making downstream reasoning.

Causal Layering via Conditional Entropy

no code implementations19 Jan 2024 Itai Feigenbaum, Devansh Arpit, Huan Wang, Shelby Heinecke, Juan Carlos Niebles, Weiran Yao, Caiming Xiong, Silvio Savarese

Under appropriate assumptions and conditioning, we can separate the sources or sinks from the remainder of the nodes by comparing their conditional entropy to the unconditional entropy of their noise.

Temporally Disentangled Representation Learning under Unknown Nonstationarity

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Xiangchen Song, Weiran Yao, Yewen Fan, Xinshuai Dong, Guangyi Chen, Juan Carlos Niebles, Eric Xing, Kun Zhang

In unsupervised causal representation learning for sequential data with time-delayed latent causal influences, strong identifiability results for the disentanglement of causally-related latent variables have been established in stationary settings by leveraging temporal structure.

Retroformer: Retrospective Large Language Agents with Policy Gradient Optimization

no code implementations4 Aug 2023 Weiran Yao, Shelby Heinecke, Juan Carlos Niebles, Zhiwei Liu, Yihao Feng, Le Xue, Rithesh Murthy, Zeyuan Chen, JianGuo Zhang, Devansh Arpit, ran Xu, Phil Mui, Huan Wang, Caiming Xiong, Silvio Savarese

This demonstrates that using policy gradient optimization to improve language agents, for which we believe our work is one of the first, seems promising and can be applied to optimize other models in the agent architecture to enhance agent performances over time.
