Learning Decision Trees as Amortized Structure Inference
Understanding the impact of IoT security patterns on CPU usage and energy consumption: a dynamic approach for selecting patterns with deep reinforcement learning
We introduce NNetNav, a method for unsupervised interaction with websites that generates synthetic demonstrations for training browser agent… (see more)s. Given any website, NNetNav produces these demonstrations by retroactively labeling action sequences from an exploration policy. Most work on training browser agents has relied on expensive human supervision, and the limited prior work on such interaction-based techniques has failed to provide effective search through the exponentially large space of exploration. In contrast, NNetNav exploits the hierarchical structure of language instructions to make this search more tractable: Complex instructions are typically decomposable into simpler sub-tasks, allowing NNetNav to automatically prune interaction episodes when an intermediate trajectory cannot be annotated with a meaningful sub-task. \texttt{LLama-3.1-8b} finetuned on 10k NNetNav self-generated demonstrations obtains over 16\% success rate on WebArena, and 35\% on WebVoyager, an improvement of 15pts and 31pts respectively over zero-shot \texttt{LLama-3.1-8b}, outperforming zero-shot GPT-4 and reaching the state-of-the-art among unsupervised methods, for both benchmarks.
Recent advances in integrating positional and structural encodings (PSEs) into graph neural networks (GNNs) have significantly enhanced thei… (see more)r performance across various graph learning tasks. However, the general applicability of these encodings and their potential to serve as foundational representations for graphs remain uncertain. This paper investigates the fine-tuning efficiency, scalability with sample size, and generalization capability of learnable PSEs across diverse graph datasets. Specifically, we evaluate their potential as universal pre-trained models that can be easily adapted to new tasks with minimal fine-tuning and limited data. Furthermore, we assess the expressivity of the learned representations, particularly, when used to augment downstream GNNs. We demonstrate through extensive benchmarking and empirical analysis that PSEs generally enhance downstream models. However, some datasets may require specific PSE-augmentations to achieve optimal performance. Nevertheless, our findings highlight their significant potential to become integral components of future graph foundation models. We provide new insights into the strengths and limitations of PSEs, contributing to the broader discourse on foundation models in graph learning.
Domain adaptation methods for object detection (OD) strive to mitigate the impact of distribution shifts by promoting feature alignment acro… (see more)ss source and target domains. Multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) allows leveraging multiple annotated source datasets and unlabeled target data to improve the accuracy and robustness of the detection model. Most state-of-the-art MSDA methods for OD perform feature alignment in a class-agnostic manner. This is challenging since the objects have unique modality information due to variations in object appearance across domains. A recent prototype-based approach proposed a class-wise alignment, yet it suffers from error accumulation caused by noisy pseudo-labels that can negatively affect adaptation with imbalanced data. To overcome these limitations, we propose an attention-based class-conditioned alignment method for MSDA, designed to align instances of each object category across domains. In particular, an attention module combined with an adversarial domain classifier allows learning domain-invariant and class-specific instance representations. Experimental results on multiple benchmarking MSDA datasets indicate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods and exhibits robustness to class imbalance, achieved through a conceptually simple class-conditioning strategy.
