Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to find a near-optimal policy using pre-collected datasets. In real-world scenarios, data collection could be costly and risky; therefore, offline RL becomes particularly challenging when the in-domain data is limited. Given recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and their few-shot learning prowess, this paper introduces $\textbf{La}$nguage Models for $\textbf{Mo}$tion Control ($\textbf{LaMo}$), a general framework based on Decision Transformers to effectively use pre-trained Language Models (LMs) for offline RL. Our framework highlights four crucial components: (1) Initializing Decision Transformers with sequentially pre-trained LMs, (2) employing the LoRA fine-tuning method, in contrast to full-weight fine-tuning, to combine the pre-trained knowledge from LMs and in-domain knowledge effectively, (3) using the non-linear MLP transformation instead of linear projections, to generate embeddings, and (4) integrating an auxiliary language prediction loss during fine-tuning to stabilize the LMs and retain their original abilities on languages. Empirical results indicate $\textbf{LaMo}$ achieves state-of-the-art performance in sparse-reward tasks and closes the gap between value-based offline RL methods and decision transformers in dense-reward tasks. In particular, our method demonstrates superior performance in scenarios with limited data samples. Our project website is //lamo2023.github.io
Quantitative methods in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research have primarily relied upon randomized, controlled experiments in laboratory settings. However, such experiments are not always feasible when external validity, ethical constraints, and ease of data collection are of concern. Furthermore, as consumer robots become increasingly available, increasing amounts of real-world data will be available to HRI researchers, which prompts the need for quantative approaches tailored to the analysis of observational data. In this article, we present an alternate approach towards quantitative research for HRI researchers using methods from causal inference that can enable researchers to identify causal relationships in observational settings where randomized, controlled experiments cannot be run. We highlight different scenarios that HRI research with consumer household robots may involve to contextualize how methods from causal inference can be applied to observational HRI research. We then provide a tutorial summarizing key concepts from causal inference using a graphical model perspective and link to code examples throughout the article, which are available at //gitlab.com/causal/causal_hri. Our work paves the way for further discussion on new approaches towards observational HRI research while providing a starting point for HRI researchers to add causal inference techniques to their analytical toolbox.
This study presents a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based handover (HO) protocol, called DHO, specifically designed to address the persistent challenge of long propagation delays in low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks' HO procedures. DHO skips the Measurement Report (MR) in the HO procedure by leveraging its predictive capabilities after being trained with a pre-determined LEO satellite orbital pattern. This simplification eliminates the propagation delay incurred during the MR phase, while still providing effective HO decisions. The proposed DHO outperforms the legacy HO protocol across diverse network conditions in terms of access delay, collision rate, and handover success rate, demonstrating the practical applicability of DHO in real-world networks. Furthermore, the study examines the trade-off between access delay and collision rate and also evaluates the training performance and convergence of DHO using various DRL algorithms.
The research on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) has dominantly been focused on physical-layer aspects and analyses of the achievable adaptation of the wireless propagation environment. Compared to that, questions related to system-level integration of RISs have received less attention. We address this research gap by analyzing the necessary control/signaling operations that are necessary to integrate RIS as a new type of wireless infrastructure element. We build a general model for evaluating the impact of control operations along two dimensions: i) the allocated bandwidth of the control channels (in-band and out-of-band), and ii) the rate selection for the data channel (multiplexing or diversity). Specifically, the second dimension results in two generic transmission schemes, one based on channel estimation and the subsequent optimization of the RIS, while the other is based on sweeping through predefined RIS phase configurations. We analyze the communication performance in multiple setups built along these two dimensions. While necessarily simplified, our analysis reveals the basic trade-offs in RIS-assisted communication and the associated control operations. The main contribution of the paper is a methodology for systematic evaluation of the control overhead in RIS-aided networks, regardless of the specific control schemes used.
This article presents a leak localization methodology based on state estimation and learning. The first is handled by an interpolation scheme, whereas dictionary learning is considered for the second stage. The novel proposed interpolation technique exploits the physics of the interconnections between hydraulic heads of neighboring nodes in water distribution networks. Additionally, residuals are directly interpolated instead of hydraulic head values. The results of applying the proposed method to a well-known case study (Modena) demonstrated the improvements of the new interpolation method with respect to a state-of-the-art approach, both in terms of interpolation error (considering state and residual estimation) and posterior localization.
Security challenges for Cloud or Fog-based machine learning services pose several concerns. Securing the underlying Cloud or Fog services is essential, as successful attacks against these services, on which machine learning applications rely, can lead to significant impairments of these applications. Because the requirements for AI applications can also be different, we differentiate according to whether they are used in the Cloud or in a Fog Computing network. This then also results in different threats or attack possibilities. For Cloud platforms, the responsibility for security can be divided between different parties. Security deficiencies at a lower level can have a direct impact on the higher level where user data is stored. While responsibilities are simpler for Fog Computing networks, by moving services to the edge of the network, we have to secure them against physical access to the devices. We conclude by outlining specific information security requirements for AI applications.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a critical technology to connect resource-constrained devices such as sensors and actuators as well as appliances to the Internet. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology for node cardinality estimation in wireless networks such as the IoT and Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems, which uses the privileged feature distillation (PFD) technique and works using a neural network with a teacher-student model. The teacher is trained using both privileged and regular features, and the student is trained with predictions from the teacher and regular features. We propose node cardinality estimation algorithms based on the PFD technique for homogeneous as well as heterogeneous wireless networks. We show via extensive simulations that the proposed PFD based algorithms for homogeneous as well as heterogeneous networks achieve much lower mean squared errors in the computed node cardinality estimates than state-of-the-art protocols proposed in prior work, while taking the same number of time slots for executing the node cardinality estimation process as the latter protocols.
We present Consistent Assignment of Views over Random Partitions (CARP), a self-supervised clustering method for representation learning of visual features. CARP learns prototypes in an end-to-end online fashion using gradient descent without additional non-differentiable modules to solve the cluster assignment problem. CARP optimizes a new pretext task based on random partitions of prototypes that regularizes the model and enforces consistency between views' assignments. Additionally, our method improves training stability and prevents collapsed solutions in joint-embedding training. Through an extensive evaluation, we demonstrate that CARP's representations are suitable for learning downstream tasks. We evaluate CARP's representations capabilities in 17 datasets across many standard protocols, including linear evaluation, few-shot classification, k-NN, k-means, image retrieval, and copy detection. We compare CARP performance to 11 existing self-supervised methods. We extensively ablate our method and demonstrate that our proposed random partition pretext task improves the quality of the learned representations by devising multiple random classification tasks. In transfer learning tasks, CARP achieves the best performance on average against many SSL methods trained for a longer time.
Deep learning accelerators address the computational demands of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), departing from the traditional Von Neumann execution model. They leverage specialized hardware to align with the application domain's structure. Compilers for these accelerators face distinct challenges compared to those for general-purpose processors. These challenges include exposing and managing more micro-architectural features, handling software-managed scratch pads for on-chip storage, explicitly managing data movement, and matching DNN layers with varying hardware capabilities. These complexities necessitate a new approach to compiler design, as traditional compilers mainly focused on generating fine-grained instruction sequences while abstracting micro-architecture details. This paper introduces the Architecture Covenant Graph (ACG), an abstract representation of an architectural structure's components and their programmable capabilities. By enabling the compiler to work with the ACG, it allows for adaptable compilation workflows when making changes to accelerator design, reducing the need for a complete compiler redevelopment. Codelets, which express DNN operation functionality and evolve into execution mappings on the ACG, are key to this process. The Covenant compiler efficiently targets diverse deep learning accelerators, achieving 93.8% performance compared to state-of-the-art, hand-tuned DNN layer implementations when compiling 14 DNN layers from various models on two different architectures.
This study enhances option pricing by presenting unique pricing model fractional order Black-Scholes-Merton (FOBSM) which is based on the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model. The main goal is to improve the precision and authenticity of option pricing, matching them more closely with the financial landscape. The approach integrates the strengths of both the BSM and neural network (NN) with complex diffusion dynamics. This study emphasizes the need to take fractional derivatives into account when analyzing financial market dynamics. Since FOBSM captures memory characteristics in sequential data, it is better at simulating real-world systems than integer-order models. Findings reveals that in complex diffusion dynamics, this hybridization approach in option pricing improves the accuracy of price predictions. the key contribution of this work lies in the development of a novel option pricing model (FOBSM) that leverages fractional calculus and neural networks to enhance accuracy in capturing complex diffusion dynamics and memory effects in financial data.
