Traffic speed is central to characterizing the fluidity of the road network. Many transportation applications rely on it, such as real-time navigation, dynamic route planning, and congestion management. Rapid advances in sensing and communication techniques make traffic speed detection easier than ever. However, due to sparse deployment of static sensors or low penetration of mobile sensors, speeds detected are incomplete and far from network-wide use. In addition, sensors are prone to error or missing data due to various kinds of reasons, speeds from these sensors can become highly noisy. These drawbacks call for effective techniques to recover credible estimates from the incomplete data. In this work, we first identify the problem as a spatiotemporal kriging problem and propose a unified graph embedded tensor (SGET) learning framework featuring both low-rankness and multi-dimensional correlations for network-wide traffic speed kriging under limited observations. To be specific, three types of speed correlation including temporal continuity, temporal periodicity, and spatial proximity are carefully chosen. We then design an efficient solution algorithm via several effective numeric techniques to scale up the proposed model to network-wide kriging. By performing experiments on two public million-level traffic speed datasets, we finally draw the conclusion and find our proposed SGET achieves the state-of-the-art kriging performance even under low observation rates, while at the same time saving more than half computing time compared with baseline methods. Some insights into spatiotemporal traffic data kriging at the network level are provided as well.

The acoustic inverse obstacle scattering problem consists of determining the shape of a domain from measurements of the scattered far field due to some set of incident fields (probes). For a penetrable object with known sound speed, this can be accomplished by treating the boundary alone as an unknown curve. Alternatively, one can treat the entire object as unknown and use a more general volumetric representation, without making use of the known sound speed. Both lead to strongly nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problems for which recursive linearization provides a useful framework for numerical analysis. After extending our shape optimization approach developed earlier for impenetrable bodies, we carry out a systematic study of both methods and compare their performance on a variety of examples. Our findings indicate that the volumetric approach is more robust, even though the number of degrees of freedom is significantly larger. We conclude with a discussion of this phenomenon and potential directions for further research.

Recently, Model Predictive Contouring Control (MPCC) has arisen as the state-of-the-art approach for model-based agile flight. MPCC benefits from great flexibility in trading-off between progress maximization and path following at runtime without relying on globally optimized trajectories. However, finding the optimal set of tuning parameters for MPCC is challenging because (i) the full quadrotor dynamics are non-linear, (ii) the cost function is highly non-convex, and (iii) of the high dimensionality of the hyperparameter space. This paper leverages a probabilistic Policy Search method - Weighted Maximum Likelihood (WML)- to automatically learn the optimal objective for MPCC. WML is sample-efficient due to its closed-form solution for updating the learning parameters. Additionally, the data efficiency provided by the use of a model-based approach allows us to directly train in a high-fidelity simulator, which in turn makes our approach able to transfer zero-shot to the real world. We validate our approach in the real world, where we show that our method outperforms both the previous manually tuned controller and the state-of-the-art auto-tuning baseline reaching speeds of 75 km/h.

The estimation of causal effects is a primary goal of behavioral, social, economic and biomedical sciences. Under the unconfoundedness condition, adjustment for confounders requires estimating the nuisance functions relating outcome and/or treatment to confounders. This paper considers a generalized optimization framework for efficient estimation of general treatment effects using feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) when the number of covariates is allowed to increase with the sample size. We estimate the nuisance function by ANNs, and develop a new approximation error bound for the ANNs approximators when the nuisance function belongs to a mixed Sobolev space. We show that the ANNs can alleviate the curse of dimensionality under this circumstance. We further establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed treatment effects estimators, and apply a weighted bootstrap procedure for conducting inference. The proposed methods are illustrated via simulation studies and a real data application.

Learning policies via preference-based reward learning is an increasingly popular method for customizing agent behavior, but has been shown anecdotally to be prone to spurious correlations and reward hacking behaviors. While much prior work focuses on causal confusion in reinforcement learning and behavioral cloning, we aim to study it in the context of reward learning. To study causal confusion, we perform a series of sensitivity and ablation analyses on three benchmark domains where rewards learned from preferences achieve minimal test error but fail to generalize to out-of-distribution states -- resulting in poor policy performance when optimized. We find that the presence of non-causal distractor features, noise in the stated preferences, partial state observability, and larger model capacity can all exacerbate causal confusion. We also identify a set of methods with which to interpret causally confused learned rewards: we observe that optimizing causally confused rewards drives the policy off the reward's training distribution, resulting in high predicted (learned) rewards but low true rewards. These findings illuminate the susceptibility of reward learning to causal confusion, especially in high-dimensional environments -- failure to consider even one of many factors (data coverage, state definition, etc.) can quickly result in unexpected, undesirable behavior.

In reinforcement learning from human feedback, it is common to optimize against a reward model trained to predict human preferences. Because the reward model is an imperfect proxy, optimizing its value too much can hinder ground truth performance, in accordance with Goodhart's law. This effect has been frequently observed, but not carefully measured due to the expense of collecting human preference data. In this work, we use a synthetic setup in which a fixed "gold-standard" reward model plays the role of humans, providing labels used to train a proxy reward model. We study how the gold reward model score changes as we optimize against the proxy reward model using either reinforcement learning or best-of-$n$ sampling. We find that this relationship follows a different functional form depending on the method of optimization, and that in both cases its coefficients scale smoothly with the number of reward model parameters. We also study the effect on this relationship of the size of the reward model dataset, the number of reward model and policy parameters, and the coefficient of the KL penalty added to the reward in the reinforcement learning setup. We explore the implications of these empirical results for theoretical considerations in AI alignment.

Reconstruction of field quantities from sparse measurements is a problem arising in a broad spectrum of applications. This task is particularly challenging when the mapping between sparse measurements and field quantities is performed in an unsupervised manner. Further complexity is added for moving sensors and/or random on-off status. Under such conditions, the most straightforward solution is to interpolate the scattered data onto a regular grid. However, the spatial resolution achieved with this approach is ultimately limited by the mean spacing between the sparse measurements. In this work, we propose a super-resolution generative adversarial network (GAN) framework to estimate field quantities from random sparse sensors without needing any full-field high-resolution training. The algorithm exploits random sampling to provide incomplete views of the {high-resolution} underlying distributions. It is hereby referred to as RAndomly-SEEDed super-resolution GAN (RaSeedGAN). The proposed technique is tested on synthetic databases of fluid flow simulations, ocean surface temperature distributions measurements, and particle image velocimetry data of a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer. The results show excellent performance even in cases with high sparsity or with levels of noise. To our knowledge, this is the first GAN algorithm for full-field high-resolution estimation from randomly-seeded fields with no need of full-field high-resolution representations.

Though learning has become a core component of modern information processing, there is now ample evidence that it can lead to biased, unsafe, and prejudiced systems. The need to impose requirements on learning is therefore paramount, especially as it reaches critical applications in social, industrial, and medical domains. However, the non-convexity of most modern statistical problems is only exacerbated by the introduction of constraints. Whereas good unconstrained solutions can often be learned using empirical risk minimization, even obtaining a model that satisfies statistical constraints can be challenging. All the more so, a good one. In this paper, we overcome this issue by learning in the empirical dual domain, where constrained statistical learning problems become unconstrained and deterministic. We analyze the generalization properties of this approach by bounding the empirical duality gap -- i.e., the difference between our approximate, tractable solution and the solution of the original (non-convex) statistical problem -- and provide a practical constrained learning algorithm. These results establish a constrained counterpart to classical learning theory, enabling the explicit use of constraints in learning. We illustrate this theory and algorithm in rate-constrained learning applications arising in fairness and adversarial robustness.

We investigate the effect of channel aging on multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicular networks in a generic non-isotropic scattering environment. Based on the single cluster scattering assumption and the von Mises distribution assumptions of the scatterers' angles, an aging channel model is established to capture the joint effect of spatial and temporal correlations resulting from different angular spread conditions in various application scenarios. Expressions of the user uplink transmission spectral efficiency (SE) are derived for maximum ratio (MR) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) combining. Through numerical studies, the area spectral efficiency (ASE) performance of the network is evaluated in freeway and urban Manhattan road grid scenarios, and easy-to-use empirical models for the optimal transmission block size for ASE maximization are obtained for the evaluated scenarios.
