The paper explains what affects the generalization gap in visual RL with and without distractors.
Understanding neural networks is becoming increasingly important. Over the last few years different types of visualisation and explanation methods have been proposed. However, none of them explicitly considered the behaviour in the presence of noise and distracting elements. In this work, we will show how noise and dis…
Standard accuracy metrics indicate that modern reading comprehension systems have achieved strong performance in many question answering datasets. However, the extent these systems truly understand language remains unknown, and existing systems are not good at distinguishing distractor sentences, which look related but…
Framework improves agent's ability to learn from noisy images.
Learning and memory are intertwined in our brain and their relationship is at the core of several recent neural network models. In particular, the Attention-Gated MEmory Tagging model (AuGMEnT) is a reinforcement learning network with an emphasis on biological plausibility of memory dynamics and learning. We find that …
We present a novel method for obtaining high-quality, domain-targeted multiple choice questions from crowd workers. Generating these questions can be difficult without trading away originality, relevance or diversity in the answer options. Our method addresses these problems by leveraging a large corpus of domain-speci…
In this work, we develop a technique to produce counterfactual visual explanations. Given a 'query' image for which a vision system predicts class , a counterfactual visual explanation identifies how could change such that the system would output a different specified class . To do this, we select a 'dis…
Photo-identification (photo-id) of dolphin individuals is a commonly used technique in ecological sciences to monitor state and health of individuals, as well as to study the social structure and distribution of a population. Traditional photo-id involves a laborious manual process of matching each dolphin fin photogra…
Intrinsically motivated goal exploration processes enable agents to autonomously sample goals to explore efficiently complex environments with high-dimensional continuous actions. They have been applied successfully to real world robots to discover repertoires of policies producing a wide diversity of effects. Often th…
Contrastive Code Representation Learning improves code summarization and type inference.
Method learns representations invariant to task-irrelevant details in reinforcement learning tasks.
Item response theory (IRT) models for categorical response data are widely used in the analysis of educational data, computerized adaptive testing, and psychological surveys. However, most IRT models rely on both the assumption that categories are strictly ordered and the assumption that this ordering is known a priori…
MIRO learns robust latent spaces by maximizing mutual information with future information.
Action-bisimulation learns long-horizon controllability for reinforcement learning.
Novel method learns time series dynamics without reconstruction.
CIRCE measures conditional independence for learning invariant features.
Recent progress has shown that few-shot learning can be improved with access to unlabelled data, known as semi-supervised few-shot learning(SS-FSL). We introduce an SS-FSL approach, dubbed as Prototypical Random Walk Networks(PRWN), built on top of Prototypical Networks (PN). We develop a random walk semi-supervised lo…
VERA-V uses variational inference to discover vulnerabilities in multimodal vision-language models.
In few-shot classification, we are interested in learning algorithms that train a classifier from only a handful of labeled examples. Recent progress in few-shot classification has featured meta-learning, in which a parameterized model for a learning algorithm is defined and trained on episodes representing different c…
SPARTAN learns sparse interaction graphs between objects in scenes.
We introduce a pretraining technique called Selfie, which stands for SELFie supervised Image Embedding. Selfie generalizes the concept of masked language modeling of BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) to continuous data, such as images, by making use of the Contrastive Predictive Coding loss (Oord et al., 2018). Given masked-o…
