Reinforcement learning for Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes
Traditional POMDP solves do not scale to realistic problems. POMDPs also violate the assumption of existing RL framework, therefore we need a representation that allows existing RL to bne used for POMDPs.

Semantic Octree Latent Diffusion
Latent diffusion models are a powerful tool for generating high-quality images. Use representaitons like octrees we can generate semantically rich 3d scenes for robotapplications.
