SEMI uses multisensory incongruity to self-supervise exploration in reinforcement learning.
problem Efficient exploration in reinforcement learning with sparse or missing rewards.
method SEMI incentivizes exploration by maximizing multisensory incongruity, measured in perception and action incongruity.
result SEMI improves sample efficiency and learns skills without external rewards.
For embodied agents to infer representations of the underlying 3D physical world they inhabit, they should efficiently combine multisensory cues from numerous trials, e.g., by looking at and touching objects. Despite its importance, multisensory 3D scene representation learning has received less attention compared to t…
New logic approach to machine learning prediction.
problem Predicting based on finite samples.
method Formalized measure of belief violations in modal Logic of Observations and Hypotheses (LOH).
result Machine learning algorithms minimize their version of incongruity.
This paper presents an introduction to the stochastic concepts of \emph{coupling} and \emph{copula}. Coupling means the construction of a joint distribution of two or more random variables that need not be defined on one and the same probability space, whereas a copula is a function that joins a multivariate distributi…
Disagreement between two classifiers regarding the class membership of an observation in pattern recognition can be indicative of an anomaly and its nuance. As in general classifiers base their decision on class aposteriori probabilities, the most natural approach to detecting classifier incongruence is to use divergen…

Graph neural network improves SOH estimation of lithium-ion batteries.
problem Accurate SOH estimation requires alignment of statistical distributions between training and testing datasets.
method Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) with anomaly detection for selecting discharge voltage segments.
result Achieves precise SOH estimation with a root mean squared error of less than 1%.
Humans and animals have the ability to continually acquire, fine-tune, and transfer knowledge and skills throughout their lifespan. This ability, referred to as lifelong learning, is mediated by a rich set of neurocognitive mechanisms that together contribute to the development and specialization of our sensorimotor sk…
