Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithms such as AlphaGo and MuZero have achieved superhuman performance in many challenging tasks. However, the computational complexity of MCTS-based algorithms is influenced by the size of the search space. To address this issue, we propose a novel probability tree state abstraction (PTSA) algorithm to improve the search efficiency of MCTS. A general tree state abstraction with path transitivity is defined. In addition, the probability tree state abstraction is proposed for fewer mistakes during the aggregation step. Furthermore, the theoretical guarantees of the transitivity and aggregation error bound are justified. To evaluate the effectiveness of the PTSA algorithm, we integrate it with state-of-the-art MCTS-based algorithms, such as Sampled MuZero and Gumbel MuZero. Experimental results on different tasks demonstrate that our method can accelerate the training process of state-of-the-art algorithms with 10%-45% search space reduction.

Extreme Value Theory plays an important role to provide approximation results for the extremes of a sequence of independent random variables when their distribution is unknown. An important one is given by the {generalised Pareto distribution} $H_\gamma(x)$ as an approximation of the distribution $F_t(s(t)x)$ of the excesses over a threshold $t$, where $s(t)$ is a suitable norming function. In this paper we study the rate of convergence of $F_t(s(t)\cdot)$ to $H_\gamma$ in variational and Hellinger distances and translate it into that regarding the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the respective densities.

Deep Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning methods have empirically shown great promise in tackling challenging combinatorial problems. In those methods a deep neural network is used as a solution generator which is then trained by gradient-based methods (e.g., policy gradient) to successively obtain better solution distributions. In this work we introduce a novel theoretical framework for analyzing the effectiveness of such methods. We ask whether there exist generative models that (i) are expressive enough to generate approximately optimal solutions; (ii) have a tractable, i.e, polynomial in the size of the input, number of parameters; (iii) their optimization landscape is benign in the sense that it does not contain sub-optimal stationary points. Our main contribution is a positive answer to this question. Our result holds for a broad class of combinatorial problems including Max- and Min-Cut, Max-$k$-CSP, Maximum-Weight-Bipartite-Matching, and the Traveling Salesman Problem. As a byproduct of our analysis we introduce a novel regularization process over vanilla gradient descent and provide theoretical and experimental evidence that it helps address vanishing-gradient issues and escape bad stationary points.

Multi-human multi-robot teams (MH-MR) obtain tremendous potential in tackling intricate and massive missions by merging distinct strengths and expertise of individual members. The inherent heterogeneity of these teams necessitates advanced initial task assignment (ITA) methods that align tasks with the intrinsic capabilities of team members from the outset. While existing reinforcement learning approaches show encouraging results, they might fall short in addressing the nuances of long-horizon ITA problems, particularly in settings with large-scale MH-MR teams or multifaceted tasks. To bridge this gap, we propose an attention-enhanced hierarchical reinforcement learning approach that decomposes the complex ITA problem into structured sub-problems, facilitating more efficient allocations. To bolster sub-policy learning, we introduce a hierarchical cross-attribute attention (HCA) mechanism, encouraging each sub-policy within the hierarchy to discern and leverage the specific nuances in the state space that are crucial for its respective decision-making phase. Through an extensive environmental surveillance case study, we demonstrate the benefits of our model and the HCA inside.

Preventing the performance decay of Transformers on inputs longer than those used for training has been an important challenge in extending the context length of these models. Though the Transformer architecture has fundamentally no limits on the input sequence lengths it can process, the choice of position encoding used during training can limit the performance of these models on longer inputs. We propose a novel functional relative position encoding with progressive interpolation, FIRE, to improve Transformer generalization to longer contexts. We theoretically prove that this can represent some of the popular relative position encodings, such as T5's RPE, Alibi, and Kerple. We next empirically show that FIRE models have better generalization to longer contexts on both zero-shot language modeling and long text benchmarks.

We study the bias of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) to learn low-rank weight matrices when training deep ReLU neural networks. Our results show that training neural networks with mini-batch SGD and weight decay causes a bias towards rank minimization over the weight matrices. Specifically, we show, both theoretically and empirically, that this bias is more pronounced when using smaller batch sizes, higher learning rates, or increased weight decay. Additionally, we predict and observe empirically that weight decay is necessary to achieve this bias. Unlike previous literature, our analysis does not rely on assumptions about the data, convergence, or optimality of the weight matrices and applies to a wide range of neural network architectures of any width or depth. Finally, we empirically investigate the connection between this bias and generalization, finding that it has a marginal effect on generalization.

We propose a simple modification to standard deep learning architectures during their training phase--L2 normalization over feature space--that produces results competitive with state-of-the-art Out-of-Distribution (OoD) detection but with relatively little training time. When L2 normalization is removed at test time, magnitudes of feature vectors becomes a surprisingly good measurement for OoD detection. Intuitively, In Distribution (ID) images result in large vectors, while OoD images have small magnitudes, which permits a simple threshold scheme for screen OoD images. We provide a theoretical analysis of how this simple change works. Competitive results are possible in only 60 epochs of training on a standard ResNet18.

Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have achieved great success in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks under the pre-training and fine-tuning paradigm. With large quantities of parameters, PLMs are computation-intensive and resource-hungry. Hence, model pruning has been introduced to compress large-scale PLMs. However, most prior approaches only consider task-specific knowledge towards downstream tasks, but ignore the essential task-agnostic knowledge during pruning, which may cause catastrophic forgetting problem and lead to poor generalization ability. To maintain both task-agnostic and task-specific knowledge in our pruned model, we propose ContrAstive Pruning (CAP) under the paradigm of pre-training and fine-tuning. It is designed as a general framework, compatible with both structured and unstructured pruning. Unified in contrastive learning, CAP enables the pruned model to learn from the pre-trained model for task-agnostic knowledge, and fine-tuned model for task-specific knowledge. Besides, to better retain the performance of the pruned model, the snapshots (i.e., the intermediate models at each pruning iteration) also serve as effective supervisions for pruning. Our extensive experiments show that adopting CAP consistently yields significant improvements, especially in extremely high sparsity scenarios. With only 3% model parameters reserved (i.e., 97% sparsity), CAP successfully achieves 99.2% and 96.3% of the original BERT performance in QQP and MNLI tasks. In addition, our probing experiments demonstrate that the model pruned by CAP tends to achieve better generalization ability.

Effective multi-robot teams require the ability to move to goals in complex environments in order to address real-world applications such as search and rescue. Multi-robot teams should be able to operate in a completely decentralized manner, with individual robot team members being capable of acting without explicit communication between neighbors. In this paper, we propose a novel game theoretic model that enables decentralized and communication-free navigation to a goal position. Robots each play their own distributed game by estimating the behavior of their local teammates in order to identify behaviors that move them in the direction of the goal, while also avoiding obstacles and maintaining team cohesion without collisions. We prove theoretically that generated actions approach a Nash equilibrium, which also corresponds to an optimal strategy identified for each robot. We show through extensive simulations that our approach enables decentralized and communication-free navigation by a multi-robot system to a goal position, and is able to avoid obstacles and collisions, maintain connectivity, and respond robustly to sensor noise.

Properly handling missing data is a fundamental challenge in recommendation. Most present works perform negative sampling from unobserved data to supply the training of recommender models with negative signals. Nevertheless, existing negative sampling strategies, either static or adaptive ones, are insufficient to yield high-quality negative samples --- both informative to model training and reflective of user real needs. In this work, we hypothesize that item knowledge graph (KG), which provides rich relations among items and KG entities, could be useful to infer informative and factual negative samples. Towards this end, we develop a new negative sampling model, Knowledge Graph Policy Network (KGPolicy), which works as a reinforcement learning agent to explore high-quality negatives. Specifically, by conducting our designed exploration operations, it navigates from the target positive interaction, adaptively receives knowledge-aware negative signals, and ultimately yields a potential negative item to train the recommender. We tested on a matrix factorization (MF) model equipped with KGPolicy, and it achieves significant improvements over both state-of-the-art sampling methods like DNS and IRGAN, and KG-enhanced recommender models like KGAT. Further analyses from different angles provide insights of knowledge-aware sampling. We release the codes and datasets at //github.com/xiangwang1223/kgpolicy.
