| 2025 | Iterative Prompt Refinement for Safer Text-to-Image GenerationabstractText-to-Image (T2I) models have made remarkable progress in generating images from text prompts, but their output quality and safety still depend heavily on how prompts are phrased.Existing safety methods typically refine prompts using large language models (LLMs), but they overlook the images produced, which can result in unsafe outputs or unnecessary changes to already safe prompts.To address this, we propose an iterative prompt refinement algorithm that uses Vision Language Models (VLMs) to analyze both the input prompts and the generated images.By leveraging visual feedback, our method refines prompts more effectively, improving safety while maintaining user intent and reliability comparable to existing LLM-based approaches.Additionally, we introduce a new dataset labeled with both textual and visual safety signals using off-the-shelf multi-modal LLM, enabling supervised fine-tuning.Experimental results demonstrate that our approach produces safer outputs without compromising alignment with user intent, offering a practical solution for generating safer T2I content.Our code is available at https://github.com/ku-dmlab/IPR.WARNING: This paper contains examples of harmful or inappropriate images generated by models.

| 2025 | NBDI: A Simple and Effective Termination Condition for Skill Extraction from Task-Agnostic DemonstrationsabstractIntelligent agents are able to make decisions based on different levels of granularity and duration. Recent advances in skill learning enabled the agent to solve complex, long-horizon tasks by effectively guiding the agent in choosing appropriate skills. However, the practice of using fixed-length skills can easily result in skipping valuable decision points, which ultimately limits the potential for further exploration and faster policy learning.
In this work, we propose to learn a simple and effective termination condition that identifies decision points through a state-action novelty module that leverages agent experience data.
Our approach, Novelty-based Decision Point Identification (NBDI), outperforms previous baselines in complex, long-horizon tasks, and remains effective even in the presence of significant variations in the environment configurations of downstream tasks, highlighting the importance of decision point identification in skill learning.

| 2024 | ROIDICE: Offline Return on Investment Maximization for Efficient Decision MakingabstractIn this paper, we propose a novel policy optimization framework that maximizes Return on Investment (ROI) of a policy using a fixed dataset within a Markov Decision Process (MDP) equipped with a cost function. ROI, defined as the ratio between the return and the accumulated cost of a policy, serves as a measure of efficiency of the policy. Despite the importance of maximizing ROI in various applications, it remains a challenging problem due to its nature as a ratio of two long-term values: return and accumulated cost. To address this, we formulate the ROI maximizing reinforcement learning problem as a linear fractional programming. We then incorporate the stationary distribution correction (DICE) framework to develop a practical offline ROI maximization algorithm.
Our proposed algorithm, ROIDICE, yields an efficient policy that offers a superior trade-off between return and accumulated cost compared to policies trained using existing frameworks. Woosung Kim, Hayeong Lee, Jongmin Lee 0004, Byung-Jun Lee 0001 |
