When Good Data Is Scarce, Planning Beats Reinforcement Learning in AI Decision-Making
NYU Center for Data Science
MAY 7, 2025
Artificial intelligence often relies heavily on high-quality, abundant data to learn effectively. But a recent study led by CDS PhD Student Vlad Sobal and Wancong (Kevin) Zhang , a computer science PhD student at NYUs Courant Institute, shows that when good data is scarce or poor-quality, planning aheadrather than blindly following learned policiescan significantly outperform traditional reinforcement learningmethods.

We present Matrix3D, a unified model that performs several photogrammetry subtasks, including pose estimation, depth prediction, and novel view synthesis using just the same model. Matrix3D utilizes a multi-modal diffusion transformer (DiT) to integrate transformations across several modalities, such as images, camera parameters, and depth maps. The key to Matrix3Ds large-scale multi-modal training lies in the incorporation of a mask learning strategy.
