This paper presents an efficient learning-based method to solve the inverse kinematic (IK) problem on soft robots with highly non-linear deformation. The major challenge of efficiently computing IK for such robots is due to the lack of analytical formulation for either forward or inverse kinematics. To address this challenge, we employ neural networks to learn both the mapping function of forward kinematics and also the Jacobian of this function. As a result, Jacobian-based iteration can be applied to solve the IK problem. A sim-to-real training transfer strategy is conducted to make this approach more practical. We first generate a large number of samples in a simulation environment for learning both the kinematic and the Jacobian networks of a soft robot design. Thereafter, a sim-to-real layer of differentiable neurons is employed to map the results of simulation to the physical hardware, where this sim-to-real layer can be learned from a very limited number of training samples generated on the hardware. The effectiveness of our approach has been verified on pneumatic-driven soft robots for path following and interactive positioning.

Deep Neural Network (DNN) models are usually trained sequentially from one layer to another, which causes forward, backward and update locking's problems, leading to poor performance in terms of training time. The existing parallel strategies to mitigate these problems provide suboptimal runtime performance. In this work, we have proposed a novel layer-wise partitioning and merging, forward and backward pass parallel framework to provide better training performance. The novelty of the proposed work consists of 1) a layer-wise partition and merging model which can minimise communication overhead between devices without the memory cost of existing strategies during the training process; 2) a forward pass and backward pass parallelisation and optimisation to address the update locking problem and minimise the total training cost. The experimental evaluation on real use cases shows that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of training speed; and achieves almost linear speedup without compromising the accuracy performance of the non-parallel approach.

Estimating human poses from videos is critical in human-computer interaction. By precisely estimating human poses, the robot can provide an appropriate response to the human. Most existing approaches use the optical flow, RNNs, or CNNs to extract temporal features from videos. Despite the positive results of these attempts, most of them only straightforwardly integrate features along the temporal dimension, ignoring temporal correlations between joints. In contrast to previous methods, we propose a plug-and-play kinematics modeling module (KMM) based on the domain-cross attention mechanism to model the temporal correlation between joints across different frames explicitly. Specifically, the proposed KMM models the temporal correlation between any two joints by calculating their temporal similarity. In this way, KMM can learn the motion cues of each joint. Using the motion cues (temporal domain) and historical positions of joints (spatial domain), KMM can infer the initial positions of joints in the current frame in advance. In addition, we present a kinematics modeling network (KIMNet) based on the KMM for obtaining the final positions of joints by combining pose features and initial positions of joints. By explicitly modeling temporal correlations between joints, KIMNet can infer the occluded joints at present according to all joints at the previous moment. Furthermore, the KMM is achieved through an attention mechanism, which allows it to maintain the high resolution of features. Therefore, it can transfer rich historical pose information to the current frame, which provides effective pose information for locating occluded joints. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on two standard video-based pose estimation benchmarks. Moreover, the proposed KIMNet shows some robustness to the occlusion, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Deep learning plays a more and more important role in our daily life due to its competitive performance in multiple industrial application domains. As the core of DL-enabled systems, deep neural networks automatically learn knowledge from carefully collected and organized training data to gain the ability to predict the label of unseen data. Similar to the traditional software systems that need to be comprehensively tested, DNNs also need to be carefully evaluated to make sure the quality of the trained model meets the demand. In practice, the de facto standard to assess the quality of DNNs in industry is to check their performance (accuracy) on a collected set of labeled test data. However, preparing such labeled data is often not easy partly because of the huge labeling effort, i.e., data labeling is labor-intensive, especially with the massive new incoming unlabeled data every day. Recent studies show that test selection for DNN is a promising direction that tackles this issue by selecting minimal representative data to label and using these data to assess the model. However, it still requires human effort and cannot be automatic. In this paper, we propose a novel technique, named Aries, that can estimate the performance of DNNs on new unlabeled data using only the information obtained from the original test data. The key insight behind our technique is that the model should have similar prediction accuracy on the data which have similar distances to the decision boundary. We performed a large-scale evaluation of our technique on 13 types of data transformation methods. The results demonstrate the usefulness of our technique that the estimated accuracy by Aries is only 0.03% -- 2.60% (on average 0.61%) off the true accuracy. Besides, Aries also outperforms the state-of-the-art selection-labeling-based methods in most (96 out of 128) cases.

High-resolution optical tactile sensors are increasingly used in robotic learning environments due to their ability to capture large amounts of data directly relating to agent-environment interaction. However, there is a high barrier of entry to research in this area due to the high cost of tactile robot platforms, specialised simulation software, and sim-to-real methods that lack generality across different sensors. In this letter we extend the Tactile Gym simulator to include three new optical tactile sensors (TacTip, DIGIT and DigiTac) of the two most popular types, Gelsight-style (image-shading based) and TacTip-style (marker based). We demonstrate that a single sim-to-real approach can be used with these three different sensors to achieve strong real-world performance despite the significant differences between real tactile images. Additionally, we lower the barrier of entry to the proposed tasks by adapting them to an inexpensive 4-DoF robot arm, further enabling the dissemination of this benchmark. We validate the extended environment on three physically-interactive tasks requiring a sense of touch: object pushing, edge following and surface following. The results of our experimental validation highlight some differences between these sensors, which may help future researchers select and customize the physical characteristics of tactile sensors for different manipulations scenarios.

Impressive results in natural language processing (NLP) based on the Transformer neural network architecture have inspired researchers to explore viewing offline reinforcement learning (RL) as a generic sequence modeling problem. Recent works based on this paradigm have achieved state-of-the-art results in several of the mostly deterministic offline Atari and D4RL benchmarks. However, because these methods jointly model the states and actions as a single sequencing problem, they struggle to disentangle the effects of the policy and world dynamics on the return. Thus, in adversarial or stochastic environments, these methods lead to overly optimistic behavior that can be dangerous in safety-critical systems like autonomous driving. In this work, we propose a method that addresses this optimism bias by explicitly disentangling the policy and world models, which allows us at test time to search for policies that are robust to multiple possible futures in the environment. We demonstrate our method's superior performance on a variety of autonomous driving tasks in simulation.

We consider the inverse problem of determining the geometry of penetrable objects from scattering data generated by one incident wave at a fixed frequency. We first study an orthogonality sampling type method which is fast, simple to implement, and robust against noise in the data. This sampling method has a new imaging functional that is applicable to data measured in near field or far field regions. The resolution analysis of the imaging functional is analyzed where the explicit decay rate of the functional is established. A connection with the orthogonality sampling method by Potthast is also studied. The sampling method is then combined with a deep neural network to solve the inverse scattering problem. This combined method can be understood as a network using the image computed by the sampling method for the first layer and followed by the U-net architecture for the rest of the layers. The fast computation and the knowledge from the results of the sampling method help speed up the training of the network. The combination leads to a significant improvement in the reconstruction results initially obtained by the sampling method. The combined method is also able to invert some limited aperture experimental data without any additional transfer training.

Navier-Stokes equations are significant partial differential equations that describe the motion of fluids such as liquids and air. Due to the importance of Navier-Stokes equations, the development on efficient numerical schemes is important for both science and engineer. Recently, with the development of AI techniques, several approaches have been designed to integrate deep neural networks in simulating and inferring the fluid dynamics governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, which can accelerate the simulation or inferring process in a mesh-free and differentiable way. In this paper, we point out that the capability of existing deep Navier-Stokes informed methods is limited to handle non-smooth or fractional equations, which are two critical situations in reality. To this end, we propose the \emph{Deep Random Vortex Method} (DRVM), which combines the neural network with a random vortex dynamics system equivalent to the Navier-Stokes equation. Specifically, the random vortex dynamics motivates a Monte Carlo based loss function for training the neural network, which avoids the calculation of derivatives through auto-differentiation. Therefore, DRVM not only can efficiently solve Navier-Stokes equations involving rough path, non-differentiable initial conditions and fractional operators, but also inherits the mesh-free and differentiable benefits of the deep-learning-based solver. We conduct experiments on the Cauchy problem, parametric solver learning, and the inverse problem of both 2-d and 3-d incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The proposed method achieves accurate results for simulation and inference of Navier-Stokes equations. Especially for the cases that include singular initial conditions, DRVM significantly outperforms existing PINN method.

As soon as abstract mathematical computations were adapted to computation on digital computers, the problem of efficient representation, manipulation, and communication of the numerical values in those computations arose. Strongly related to the problem of numerical representation is the problem of quantization: in what manner should a set of continuous real-valued numbers be distributed over a fixed discrete set of numbers to minimize the number of bits required and also to maximize the accuracy of the attendant computations? This perennial problem of quantization is particularly relevant whenever memory and/or computational resources are severely restricted, and it has come to the forefront in recent years due to the remarkable performance of Neural Network models in computer vision, natural language processing, and related areas. Moving from floating-point representations to low-precision fixed integer values represented in four bits or less holds the potential to reduce the memory footprint and latency by a factor of 16x; and, in fact, reductions of 4x to 8x are often realized in practice in these applications. Thus, it is not surprising that quantization has emerged recently as an important and very active sub-area of research in the efficient implementation of computations associated with Neural Networks. In this article, we survey approaches to the problem of quantizing the numerical values in deep Neural Network computations, covering the advantages/disadvantages of current methods. With this survey and its organization, we hope to have presented a useful snapshot of the current research in quantization for Neural Networks and to have given an intelligent organization to ease the evaluation of future research in this area.

This paper addresses the difficulty of forecasting multiple financial time series (TS) conjointly using deep neural networks (DNN). We investigate whether DNN-based models could forecast these TS more efficiently by learning their representation directly. To this end, we make use of the dynamic factor graph (DFG) from that we enhance by proposing a novel variable-length attention-based mechanism to render it memory-augmented. Using this mechanism, we propose an unsupervised DNN architecture for multivariate TS forecasting that allows to learn and take advantage of the relationships between these TS. We test our model on two datasets covering 19 years of investment funds activities. Our experimental results show that our proposed approach outperforms significantly typical DNN-based and statistical models at forecasting their 21-day price trajectory.

We study how to generate captions that are not only accurate in describing an image but also discriminative across different images. The problem is both fundamental and interesting, as most machine-generated captions, despite phenomenal research progresses in the past several years, are expressed in a very monotonic and featureless format. While such captions are normally accurate, they often lack important characteristics in human languages - distinctiveness for each caption and diversity for different images. To address this problem, we propose a novel conditional generative adversarial network for generating diverse captions across images. Instead of estimating the quality of a caption solely on one image, the proposed comparative adversarial learning framework better assesses the quality of captions by comparing a set of captions within the image-caption joint space. By contrasting with human-written captions and image-mismatched captions, the caption generator effectively exploits the inherent characteristics of human languages, and generates more discriminative captions. We show that our proposed network is capable of producing accurate and diverse captions across images.
