  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...

  • Knowledge Base Completion Leveraging Natural Language Data

    Creator:
    Shahbazi, Hamed
    Abstract:
    Information about named entities (real-world objects) is usually harvested from different sources and organized as a multiple relational directed graph in Knowledge Bases (KBs). KBs play essential roles in many NLP modules including question answering, fact-checking, search engines, etc. KBs are big but still incomplete: relational information among entities is...

  • Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Koul, Anurag
    Abstract:
    Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...

  • Incorporating and Learning Behavior Constraints for Sequential Decision Making

    Creator:
    Pinto, Jervis
    Abstract:
    Writing a program that performs well in a complex environment is a challenging task. In such problems, a method of deterministic programming combined with reinforcement learning (RL) can be helpful. However, current systems either force developers to encode knowledge in very specific forms (e.g., state-action features), or assume advanced RL...

  • Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...
