Excited to share our paper “Palette Inpainting Diffusion Curriculum Reinforcement Learning (PIDCRL)”, accepted at WCCI 2026! Curriculum Reinforcement Learning (CRL) helps agents learn faster by structuring tasks from easy → hard. We introduce PIDCRL — a diffusion-based CRL framework that converts trajectory heatmaps into candidate goals via a pretrained image-to-image diffusion model. To select meaningful goals, we employ several strategies,…
