Inferential decision-making algorithms typically assume that an underlying probabilistic model of decision alternatives and outcomes may be learned a priori or online. Furthermore, when applied to robots in real-world settings they often perform unsatisfactorily or fail to accomplish the necessary tasks because this assumption is violated and/or they experience unanticipated external pressures and constraints. Cognitive studies presented in this and other papers show that humans cope with complex and unknown settings by modulating between near-optimal and satisficing solutions, including heuristics, by leveraging information value of available environmental cues that are possibly redundant. Using the benchmark inferential decision problem known as ``treasure hunt", this paper develops a general approach for investigating and modeling active perception solutions under pressure. By simulating treasure hunt problems in virtual worlds, our approach learns generalizable strategies from high performers that, when applied to robots, allow them to modulate between optimal and heuristic solutions on the basis of external pressures and probabilistic models, if and when available. The result is a suite of active perception algorithms for camera-equipped robots that outperform treasure-hunt solutions obtained via cell decomposition, information roadmap, and information potential algorithms, in both high-fidelity numerical simulations and physical experiments. The effectiveness of the new active perception strategies is demonstrated under a broad range of unanticipated conditions that cause existing algorithms to fail to complete the search for treasures, such as unmodelled time constraints, resource constraints, and adverse weather (fog).

Traditional approaches for manipulation planning rely on an explicit geometric model of the environment to formulate a given task as an optimization problem. However, inferring an accurate model from raw sensor input is a hard problem in itself, in particular for articulated objects (e.g., closets, drawers). In this paper, we propose a Neural Field Representation (NFR) of articulated objects that enables manipulation planning directly from images. Specifically, after taking a few pictures of a new articulated object, we can forward simulate its possible movements, and, therefore, use this neural model directly for planning with trajectory optimization. Additionally, this representation can be used for shape reconstruction, semantic segmentation and image rendering, which provides a strong supervision signal during training and generalization. We show that our model, which was trained only on synthetic images, is able to extract a meaningful representation for unseen objects of the same class, both in simulation and with real images. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the representation enables robotic manipulation of an articulated object in the real world directly from images.

We propose an upwind finite volume method for a system of two kinetic equations in one dimension that are coupled through nonlocal interaction terms. These cross-interaction systems were recently obtained as the mean-field limit of a second-order system of ordinary differential equations for two interacting species. Models of this kind are encountered in a myriad of contexts, for instance, to describe large systems of indistinguishable agents such as cell colonies, flocks of birds, schools of fish, herds of sheep. The finite volume method we propose is constructed to conserve mass and preserve positivity. Moreover, convex functionals of the discrete solution are controlled, which we use to show the convergence of the scheme. Finally, we investigate the scheme numerically.

Prior work has shown that the ordering in which concepts are shown to a commonsense generator plays an important role, affecting the quality of the generated sentence. However, it remains a challenge to determine the optimal ordering of a given set of concepts such that a natural sentence covering all the concepts could be generated from a pretrained generator. To understand the relationship between the ordering of the input concepts and the quality of the generated sentences, we conduct a systematic study considering multiple language models (LMs) and concept ordering strategies. We find that BART-large model consistently outperforms all other LMs considered in this study when fine-tuned using the ordering of concepts as they appear in CommonGen training data as measured using multiple evaluation metrics. Moreover, the larger GPT3-based large language models (LLMs) variants do not necessarily outperform much smaller LMs on this task, even when fine-tuned on task-specific training data. Interestingly, human annotators significantly reorder input concept sets when manually writing sentences covering those concepts, and this ordering provides the best sentence generations independently of the LM used for the generation, outperforming a probabilistic concept ordering baseline

Domain Generalization (DG) aims to generalize to arbitrary unseen domains. A promising approach to improve model generalization in DG is the identification of flat minima. One typical method for this task is SWAD, which involves averaging weights along the training trajectory. However, the success of weight averaging depends on the diversity of weights, which is limited when training with a small learning rate. Instead, we observe that leveraging a large learning rate can simultaneously promote weight diversity and facilitate the identification of flat regions in the loss landscape. However, employing a large learning rate suffers from the convergence problem, which cannot be resolved by simply averaging the training weights. To address this issue, we introduce a training strategy called Lookahead which involves the weight interpolation, instead of average, between fast and slow weights. The fast weight explores the weight space with a large learning rate, which is not converged while the slow weight interpolates with it to ensure the convergence. Besides, weight interpolation also helps identify flat minima by implicitly optimizing the local entropy loss that measures flatness. To further prevent overfitting during training, we propose two variants to regularize the training weight with weighted averaged weight or with accumulated history weight. Taking advantage of this new perspective, our methods achieve state-of-the-art performance on both classification and semantic segmentation domain generalization benchmarks. The code is available at //github.com/koncle/DG-with-Large-LR.

We develop a new permutation test for inference on a subvector of coefficients in linear models. The test is exact when the regressors and the error terms are independent. Then, we show that the test is asymptotically of correct level, consistent and has power against local alternatives when the independence condition is relaxed, under two main conditions. The first is a slight reinforcement of the usual absence of correlation between the regressors and the error term. The second is that the number of strata, defined by values of the regressors not involved in the subvector test, is small compared to the sample size. The latter implies that the vector of nuisance regressors is discrete. Simulations and empirical illustrations suggest that the test has good power in practice if, indeed, the number of strata is small compared to the sample size.

The existence of representative datasets is a prerequisite of many successful artificial intelligence and machine learning models. However, the subsequent application of these models often involves scenarios that are inadequately represented in the data used for training. The reasons for this are manifold and range from time and cost constraints to ethical considerations. As a consequence, the reliable use of these models, especially in safety-critical applications, is a huge challenge. Leveraging additional, already existing sources of knowledge is key to overcome the limitations of purely data-driven approaches, and eventually to increase the generalization capability of these models. Furthermore, predictions that conform with knowledge are crucial for making trustworthy and safe decisions even in underrepresented scenarios. This work provides an overview of existing techniques and methods in the literature that combine data-based models with existing knowledge. The identified approaches are structured according to the categories integration, extraction and conformity. Special attention is given to applications in the field of autonomous driving.

We introduce a generic framework that reduces the computational cost of object detection while retaining accuracy for scenarios where objects with varied sizes appear in high resolution images. Detection progresses in a coarse-to-fine manner, first on a down-sampled version of the image and then on a sequence of higher resolution regions identified as likely to improve the detection accuracy. Built upon reinforcement learning, our approach consists of a model (R-net) that uses coarse detection results to predict the potential accuracy gain for analyzing a region at a higher resolution and another model (Q-net) that sequentially selects regions to zoom in. Experiments on the Caltech Pedestrians dataset show that our approach reduces the number of processed pixels by over 50% without a drop in detection accuracy. The merits of our approach become more significant on a high resolution test set collected from YFCC100M dataset, where our approach maintains high detection performance while reducing the number of processed pixels by about 70% and the detection time by over 50%.

Object detection typically assumes that training and test data are drawn from an identical distribution, which, however, does not always hold in practice. Such a distribution mismatch will lead to a significant performance drop. In this work, we aim to improve the cross-domain robustness of object detection. We tackle the domain shift on two levels: 1) the image-level shift, such as image style, illumination, etc, and 2) the instance-level shift, such as object appearance, size, etc. We build our approach based on the recent state-of-the-art Faster R-CNN model, and design two domain adaptation components, on image level and instance level, to reduce the domain discrepancy. The two domain adaptation components are based on H-divergence theory, and are implemented by learning a domain classifier in adversarial training manner. The domain classifiers on different levels are further reinforced with a consistency regularization to learn a domain-invariant region proposal network (RPN) in the Faster R-CNN model. We evaluate our newly proposed approach using multiple datasets including Cityscapes, KITTI, SIM10K, etc. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach for robust object detection in various domain shift scenarios.

Detecting carried objects is one of the requirements for developing systems to reason about activities involving people and objects. We present an approach to detect carried objects from a single video frame with a novel method that incorporates features from multiple scales. Initially, a foreground mask in a video frame is segmented into multi-scale superpixels. Then the human-like regions in the segmented area are identified by matching a set of extracted features from superpixels against learned features in a codebook. A carried object probability map is generated using the complement of the matching probabilities of superpixels to human-like regions and background information. A group of superpixels with high carried object probability and strong edge support is then merged to obtain the shape of the carried object. We applied our method to two challenging datasets, and results show that our method is competitive with or better than the state-of-the-art.
