Beyond performance: the role of task demand, effort, and individual differences in ab initio pilots
This paper provides an overview of the latest trends in robotics research and development, with a particular focus on applications in manufa… (voir plus)cturing and industrial settings. We highlight recent advances in robot design, including cutting-edge collaborative robot mechanics and advanced safety features, as well as exciting developments in perception and human-swarm interaction. By examining recent contributions from Kinova, a leading robotics company, we illustrate the differences between industry and academia in their approaches to developing innovative robotic systems and technologies that enhance productivity and safety in the workplace. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates the tremendous potential of robotics to revolutionize manufacturing and industrial operations, and underscores the crucial role of companies like Kinova in driving this transformation forward.

This work introduces an efficient novel approach for epistemic uncertainty estimation for ensemble models for regression tasks using pairwis… (voir plus)e-distance estimators (PaiDEs). Utilizing the pairwise-distance between model components, these estimators establish bounds on entropy. We leverage this capability to enhance the performance of Bayesian Active Learning by Disagreement (BALD). Notably, unlike sample-based Monte Carlo estimators, PaiDEs exhibit a remarkable capability to estimate epistemic uncertainty at speeds up to 100 times faster while covering a significantly larger number of inputs at once and demonstrating superior performance in higher dimensions. To validate our approach, we conducted a varied series of regression experiments on commonly used benchmarks: 1D sinusoidal data,
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently allowed leveraging large datasets of unlabeled speech signals to reach impressive performance on… (voir plus) speech tasks using only small amounts of annotated data. The high number of proposed approaches fostered the need and rise of extended benchmarks that evaluate their performance on a set of downstream tasks exploring various aspects of the speech signal. However, and while the number of considered tasks has been growing, most rely upon a single decoding architecture that maps the frozen SSL representations to the downstream labels. This work investigates the robustness of such benchmarking results to changes in the decoder architecture. Interestingly, it appears that varying the architecture of the downstream decoder leads to significant variations in the leaderboards of most tasks. Concerningly, our study reveals that benchmarking using limited decoders may cause a counterproductive increase in the sizes of the developed SSL models.
Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms with Zero-Shot Coordination (ZSC) have gained significant attention in rece… (voir plus)nt years. ZSC refers to the ability of agents to coordinate zero-shot (without additional interaction experience) with independently trained agents. While ZSC is crucial for cooperative MARL agents, it might not be possible for complex tasks and changing environments. Agents also need to adapt and improve their performance with minimal interaction with other agents. In this work, we show empirically that state-of-the-art ZSC algorithms have poor performance when paired with agents trained with different learning methods, and they require millions of interaction samples to adapt to these new partners. To investigate this issue, we formally defined a framework based on a popular cooperative multi-agent game called Hanabi to evaluate the adaptability of MARL methods. In particular, we created a diverse set of pre-trained agents and defined a new metric called adaptation regret that measures the agent's ability to efficiently adapt and improve its coordination performance when paired with some held-out pool of partners on top of its ZSC performance. After evaluating several SOTA algorithms using our framework, our experiments reveal that naive Independent Q-Learning (IQL) agents in most cases adapt as quickly as the SOTA ZSC algorithm Off-Belief Learning (OBL). This finding raises an interesting research question: How to design MARL algorithms with high ZSC performance and capability of fast adaptation to unseen partners. As a first step, we studied the role of different hyper-parameters and design choices on the adaptability of current MARL algorithms. Our experiments show that two categories of hyper-parameters controlling the training data diversity and optimization process have a significant impact on the adaptability of Hanabi agents.
Recent advancements in large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various NLP tasks. But many questions remain, … (voir plus)including whether open-source models match closed ones, why these models excel or struggle with certain tasks, and what types of practical procedures can improve performance. We address these questions in the context of classification by evaluating three classes of models using eight datasets across three distinct tasks: named entity recognition, political party prediction, and misinformation detection. While larger LLMs often lead to improved performance, open-source models can rival their closed-source counterparts by fine-tuning. Moreover, supervised smaller models, like RoBERTa, can achieve similar or even greater performance in many datasets compared to generative LLMs. On the other hand, closed models maintain an advantage in hard tasks that demand the most generalizability. This study underscores the importance of model selection based on task requirements
