  • Learning greedy policies for the easy-first framework

    Creator:
    Xie, Jun
    Abstract:
    Easy-first, a search-based structured prediction approach, has been applied to many NLP tasks including dependency parsing and coreference resolution. This approach employs a learned greedy policy (action scoring function) to make easy decisions first, which constrains the remaining decisions and makes them easier. This thesis studies the problem of learning...

  • Learning and Improving Policies for Probabilistic Planning Problems

    Creator:
    Issakkimuthu, Murugeswari
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study the problem of learning and improving policies for probabilistic planning problems. In the first part, we train neural network policies for probabilistic planning problems modeled as factored Markov decision problems. The objective is to train problem-specific neural networks via supervised learning to imitate the action...

  • Learning ranking functions for efficient search

    Creator:
    Xu, Yuehua
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores algorithms for learning ranking functions to efficiently solve search problems, with application to automated planning. Specifically, we consider the frameworks of beam search, greedy search, and randomized search, which all aim to maintain tractability at the cost of not guaranteeing completeness nor optimality. Our learning objective for...

  • Anomaly Detection: Theory, Explanation and User Feedback

    Creator:
    Siddiqui, Md Amran
    Abstract:
    Anomaly detection has been used in variety of applications in practice, including cyber-security, fraud detection and detecting faults in safety critical systems, etc. Anomaly detectors produce a ranked list of statistical anomalies, which are typically examined by human analysts in order to extract the actual anomalies of interest. Unfortunately, most...

  • New learning modes for sequential decision making

    Creator:
    Judah, Kshitij
    Abstract:
    This thesis considers the problem in which a teacher is interested in teaching action policies to computer agents for sequential decision making. The vast majority of policy learning algorithms o er teachers little flexibility in how policies are taught. In particular, one of two learning modes is typically considered: 1)...
