  • Counterfactual States for Atari Agents via Generative Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    Although deep reinforcement learning agents have produced impressive results in many domains, their decision making is difficult to explain to humans. To address this problem, past work has mainly focused on explaining why an action was chosen in a given state. A different type of explanation that is useful is...

  • A library for doing polyhedral operations

    Creator:
    Wilde, Doran K.
    Abstract:
    Polyhedra are geometric representations of linear systems of equations and inequalities. Since polyhedra are used to represent the iteration domains of nested loop programs, procedures for operating on polyhedra can be used for doing loop transformations and other program restructuring transformations which are needed in parallelizing compilers. Thus a need...

    Abstract:
    The ability to extract uncertainties from predictions is crucial for the adoption of deep learning systems to safety-critical applications. Uncertainty estimates can be used as a failure signal, which is necessary for automating complex tasks where safety is a concern. Furthermore, current deep learning systems do not provide uncertainty estimates,...
