We consider stochastic nonsmooth nonconvex composite optimization, which includes several important problems such as constrained optimization and the regularized training of neural networks. The objective is the sum of a possibly nonsmooth nonconvex Lipschitz function and a convex regularizer, and the function is acces …

We consider policy optimization for online episodic tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs) with adversarial losses and bandit feedback. Policy optimization updates the policy locally at each state and avoids optimization over the occupancy-measure polytope, but its existing regret bounds are larger by a factor of the …

World models can anticipate the consequences of navigation actions, but predicted action sequences may become invalid during execution, especially when wheel-legged robots encounter dynamic obstacles or change locomotion modes. We propose WAVE-Go, an image-goal navigation framework that separates world-action predictio …
