BDD-based optimization for the quadratic stable set problem
Recently, a model of a decentralized control system with local and remote controllers connected over unreliable channels was presented in [… (voir plus)1]. The model has a nonclassical information structure that is not partially nested. Nonetheless, it is shown in [1] that the optimal control strategies are linear functions of the state estimate (which is a nonlinear function of the observations). Their proof is based on a fairly sophisticated dynamic programming argument. In this article, we present an alternative and elementary proof of the result which uses common information-based conditional independence and completion of squares.
An online reinforcement learning algorithm called renewal Monte Carlo (RMC) is presented. RMC works for infinite horizon Markov decision pro… (voir plus)cesses with a designated start state. RMC is a Monte Carlo algorithm that retains the key advantages of Monte Carlo—viz., simplicity, ease of implementation, and low bias—while circumventing the main drawbacks of Monte Carlo—viz., high variance and delayed updates. Given a parameterized policy
Introduction The need to streamline patient management for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has become more pressing than ever. Chest X-ray… (voir plus)s (CXRs) provide a non-invasive (potentially bedside) tool to monitor the progression of the disease. In this study, we present a severity score prediction model for COVID-19 pneumonia for frontal chest X-ray images. Such a tool can gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections (and pneumonia in general) that can be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. Methods Images from a public COVID-19 database were scored retrospectively by three blinded experts in terms of the extent of lung involvement as well as the degree of opacity. A neural network model that was pre-trained on large (non-COVID-19) chest X-ray datasets is used to construct features for COVID-19 images which are predictive for our task. Results This study finds that training a regression model on a subset of the outputs from this pre-trained chest X-ray model predicts our geographic extent score (range 0-8) with 1.14 mean absolute error (MAE) and our lung opacity score (range 0-6) with 0.78 MAE. Conclusions These results indicate that our model’s ability to gauge the severity of COVID-19 lung infections could be used for escalation or de-escalation of care as well as monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in the ICU. To enable follow up work, we make our code, labels, and data available online.
The BabyAI platform is designed to measure the sample efficiency of training an agent to follow grounded-language instructions. BabyAI 1.0 p… (voir plus)resents baseline results of an agent trained by deep imitation or reinforcement learning. BabyAI 1.1 improves the agent's architecture in three minor ways. This increases reinforcement learning sample efficiency by up to 3 times and improves imitation learning performance on the hardest level from 77 % to 90.4 %. We hope that these improvements increase the computational efficiency of BabyAI experiments and help users design better agents.
In recent years, the multi-armed bandit (MAB) framework has attracted a lot of attention in various applications, from recommender systems a… (voir plus)nd information retrieval to healthcare and finance. This success is due to its stellar performance combined with attractive properties, such as learning from less feedback. The multiarmed bandit field is currently experiencing a renaissance, as novel problem settings and algorithms motivated by various practical applications are being introduced, building on top of the classical bandit problem. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of top recent developments in multiple real-life applications of the multi-armed bandit. Specifically, we introduce a taxonomy of common MAB-based applications and summarize the state-of-the-art for each of those domains. Furthermore, we identify important current trends and provide new perspectives pertaining to the future of this burgeoning field.
