This paper presents an MFG-based decision-making framework for autonomous driving in heterogeneous traffic. To capture diverse human behaviors, we propose a quantitative driving style representation that maps abstract traits to parameters such as speed, safety factors, and reaction time. These parameters are embedded into the MFG through a spatial influence field model. To ensure safe operation in dense traffic, we introduce a safety-critical lane-changing algorithm that leverages dynamic safety margins, time-to-collision analysis, and multi-layered constraints. Real-world NGSIM data is employed for style calibration and empirical validation. Experimental results demonstrate zero collisions across six style combinations, two 15-vehicle scenarios, and NGSIM-based trials, consistently outperforming conventional game-theoretic baselines. Overall, our approach provides a scalable, interpretable, and behavior-aware planning framework for real-world autonomous driving applications.

Style is an integral component of text that expresses a diverse set of information, including interpersonal dynamics (e.g. formality) and the author's emotions or attitudes (e.g. disgust). Humans often employ multiple styles simultaneously. An open question is how large language models can be explicitly controlled so that they weave together target styles when generating text: for example, to produce text that is both negative and non-toxic. Previous work investigates the controlled generation of a single style, or else controlled generation of a style and other attributes. In this paper, we expand this into controlling multiple styles simultaneously. Specifically, we investigate various formulations of multiple style rewards for a reinforcement learning (RL) approach to controlled multi-style generation. These reward formulations include calibrated outputs from discriminators and dynamic weighting by discriminator gradient magnitudes. We find that dynamic weighting generally outperforms static weighting approaches, and we explore its effectiveness in 2- and 3-style control, even compared to strong baselines like plug-and-play model. All code and data for RL pipelines with multiple style attributes will be publicly available.

Text style transfer is an exciting task within the field of natural language generation that is often plagued by the need for high-quality paired datasets. Furthermore, training a model for multi-attribute text style transfer requires datasets with sufficient support across all combinations of the considered stylistic attributes, adding to the challenges of training a style transfer model. This paper explores the impact of training data input diversity on the quality of the generated text from the multi-style transfer model. We construct a pseudo-parallel dataset by devising heuristics to adjust the style distribution in the training samples. We balance our training dataset using marginal and joint distributions to train our style transfer models. We observe that a balanced dataset produces more effective control effects over multiple styles than an imbalanced or skewed one. Through quantitative analysis, we explore the impact of multiple style distributions in training data on style-transferred output. These findings will better inform the design of style-transfer datasets.
