Deep generative models have recently emerged as an effective approach to offline reinforcement learning. However, their large model size poses challenges in computation. We address this issue by proposing a knowledge distillation method based on data augmentation. In particular, high-return trajectories are generated from a conditional diffusion model, and they are blended with the original trajectories through a novel stitching algorithm that leverages a new reward generator. Applying the resulting dataset to behavioral cloning, the learned shallow policy whose size is much smaller outperforms or nearly matches deep generative planners on several D4RL benchmarks.

Neural Style Transfer (NST) refers to a class of algorithms able to manipulate an element, most often images, to adopt the appearance or style of another one. Each element is defined as a combination of Content and Style: the Content can be conceptually defined as the what and the Style as the how of said element. In this context, we propose a custom NST framework for transferring a set of styles to the motion of a robotic manipulator, e.g., the same robotic task can be carried out in an angry, happy, calm, or sad way. An autoencoder architecture extracts and defines the Content and the Style of the target robot motions. A Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) network generates the robot control policy using the loss defined by the autoencoder. The proposed Neural Policy Style Transfer TD3 (NPST3) alters the robot motion by introducing the trained style. Such an approach can be implemented either offline, for carrying out autonomous robot motions in dynamic environments, or online, for adapting at runtime the style of a teleoperated robot. The considered styles can be learned online from human demonstrations. We carried out an evaluation with human subjects enrolling 73 volunteers, asking them to recognize the style behind some representative robotic motions. Results show a good recognition rate, proving that it is possible to convey different styles to a robot using this approach.

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are widely used for the description of physical and engineering phenomena. Some key parameters involved in PDEs, which represent certain physical properties with important scientific interpretations, are difficult or even impossible to measure directly. Estimating these parameters from noisy and sparse experimental data of related physical quantities is an important task. Many methods for PDE parameter inference involve a large number of evaluations for numerical solutions to PDE through algorithms such as the finite element method, which can be time-consuming, especially for nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the inference of unknown parameters in PDEs, called the PDE-Informed Gaussian Process (PIGP) based parameter inference method. Through modeling the PDE solution as a Gaussian process (GP), we derive the manifold constraints induced by the (linear) PDE structure such that, under the constraints, the GP satisfies the PDE. For nonlinear PDEs, we propose an augmentation method that transforms the nonlinear PDE into an equivalent PDE system linear in all derivatives, which our PIGP-based method can handle. The proposed method can be applied to a broad spectrum of nonlinear PDEs. The PIGP-based method can be applied to multi-dimensional PDE systems and PDE systems with unobserved components. Like conventional Bayesian approaches, the method can provide uncertainty quantification for both the unknown parameters and the PDE solution. The PIGP-based method also completely bypasses the numerical solver for PDEs. The proposed method is demonstrated through several application examples from different areas.

We conduct a systematic study of the approximation properties of Transformer for sequence modeling with long, sparse and complicated memory. We investigate the mechanisms through which different components of Transformer, such as the dot-product self-attention, positional encoding and feed-forward layer, affect its expressive power, and we study their combined effects through establishing explicit approximation rates. Our study reveals the roles of critical parameters in the Transformer, such as the number of layers and the number of attention heads, and these insights also provide natural suggestions for alternative architectures.

We consider a boundary value problem (BVP) modelling one-dimensional heat-conduction with radiation, which is derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The problem strongly depends on the parameters, making difficult to estimate the solution. We use an analytical approach to determine upper and lower bounds to the exact solution of the BVP, which allows estimating the latter. Finally, we support our theoretical arguments with numerical data, by implementing them into the MAPLE computer program.

The Kaczmarz algorithm is an iterative technique designed to solve consistent linear systems of equations. It falls within the category of row-action methods, focusing on handling one equation per iteration. This characteristic makes it especially useful in solving very large systems. The recent introduction of a randomized version, the Randomized Kaczmarz method, renewed interest in the algorithm, leading to the development of numerous variations. Subsequently, parallel implementations for both the original and Randomized Kaczmarz method have since then been proposed. However, previous work has addressed sparse linear systems, whereas we focus on solving dense systems. In this paper, we explore in detail approaches to parallelizing the Kaczmarz method for both shared and distributed memory for large dense systems. In particular, we implemented the Randomized Kaczmarz with Averaging (RKA) method that, for inconsistent systems, unlike the standard Randomized Kaczmarz algorithm, reduces the final error of the solution. While efficient parallelization of this algorithm is not achievable, we introduce a block version of the averaging method that can outperform the RKA method.

We reiterate the contribution made by Harrow, Hassidim, and Llyod to the quantum matrix equation solver with the emphasis on the algorithm description and the error analysis derivation details. Moreover, the behavior of the amplitudes of the phase register on the completion of the Quantum Phase Estimation is studied. This study is beneficial for the comprehension of the choice of the phase register size and its interrelation with the Hamiltonian simulation duration in the algorithm setup phase.

Sequential neural posterior estimation (SNPE) techniques have been recently proposed for dealing with simulation-based models with intractable likelihoods. They are devoted to learning the posterior from adaptively proposed simulations using neural network-based conditional density estimators. As a SNPE technique, the automatic posterior transformation (APT) method proposed by Greenberg et al. (2019) performs notably and scales to high dimensional data. However, the APT method bears the computation of an expectation of the logarithm of an intractable normalizing constant, i.e., a nested expectation. Although atomic APT was proposed to solve this by discretizing the normalizing constant, it remains challenging to analyze the convergence of learning. In this paper, we propose a nested APT method to estimate the involved nested expectation instead. This facilitates establishing the convergence analysis. Since the nested estimators for the loss function and its gradient are biased, we make use of unbiased multi-level Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimators for debiasing. To further reduce the excessive variance of the unbiased estimators, this paper also develops some truncated MLMC estimators by taking account of the trade-off between the bias and the average cost. Numerical experiments for approximating complex posteriors with multimodal in moderate dimensions are provided.

The generalization mystery in deep learning is the following: Why do over-parameterized neural networks trained with gradient descent (GD) generalize well on real datasets even though they are capable of fitting random datasets of comparable size? Furthermore, from among all solutions that fit the training data, how does GD find one that generalizes well (when such a well-generalizing solution exists)? We argue that the answer to both questions lies in the interaction of the gradients of different examples during training. Intuitively, if the per-example gradients are well-aligned, that is, if they are coherent, then one may expect GD to be (algorithmically) stable, and hence generalize well. We formalize this argument with an easy to compute and interpretable metric for coherence, and show that the metric takes on very different values on real and random datasets for several common vision networks. The theory also explains a number of other phenomena in deep learning, such as why some examples are reliably learned earlier than others, why early stopping works, and why it is possible to learn from noisy labels. Moreover, since the theory provides a causal explanation of how GD finds a well-generalizing solution when one exists, it motivates a class of simple modifications to GD that attenuate memorization and improve generalization. Generalization in deep learning is an extremely broad phenomenon, and therefore, it requires an equally general explanation. We conclude with a survey of alternative lines of attack on this problem, and argue that the proposed approach is the most viable one on this basis.

Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has been a frequent topic of research due to many practical applications. However, many of the current solutions are still not robust in real-world situations, commonly depending on many constraints. This paper presents a robust and efficient ALPR system based on the state-of-the-art YOLO object detection. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are trained and fine-tuned for each ALPR stage so that they are robust under different conditions (e.g., variations in camera, lighting, and background). Specially for character segmentation and recognition, we design a two-stage approach employing simple data augmentation tricks such as inverted License Plates (LPs) and flipped characters. The resulting ALPR approach achieved impressive results in two datasets. First, in the SSIG dataset, composed of 2,000 frames from 101 vehicle videos, our system achieved a recognition rate of 93.53% and 47 Frames Per Second (FPS), performing better than both Sighthound and OpenALPR commercial systems (89.80% and 93.03%, respectively) and considerably outperforming previous results (81.80%). Second, targeting a more realistic scenario, we introduce a larger public dataset, called UFPR-ALPR dataset, designed to ALPR. This dataset contains 150 videos and 4,500 frames captured when both camera and vehicles are moving and also contains different types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks). In our proposed dataset, the trial versions of commercial systems achieved recognition rates below 70%. On the other hand, our system performed better, with recognition rate of 78.33% and 35 FPS.
