Abstract: The field of compositional generalization is currently experiencing a renaissance in AI, as novel problem settings and algorithms motivated by various practical applications are being introduced, building on top of the classical compositional generalization problem. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of top recent developments in multiple real-life applications of the compositional generalization. Specifically, we introduce a taxonomy of common 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.

TL;DR: Guillaume Lam et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the relationship between calibration training set size and prediction accuracy on the calibration test set and found that calibration on a single gait cycle per surface yielded a 70% increase in F1-score, the harmonic mean of precision and recall, while 10 gait cycles per surface were sufficient to match the performance of a randomwise trained model.

TL;DR: The authors proposed GOKU-UI, an evolution of the generative model GoKUnets, which incorporates other classes of differential equations, such as Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), and integrates a distributed, i.e. ubiquitous, inference through attention mechanisms and a novel multiple shooting training strategy in the latent space.
Abstract: Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) is a burgeoning field that synergistically combines domain-aware and interpretable models with agnostic machine learning techniques. In this work, we introduce GOKU-UI, an evolution of the SciML generative model GOKU-nets. The GOKU-UI broadens the original model's spectrum to incorporate other classes of differential equations, such as Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), and integrates a distributed, i.e. ubiquitous, inference through attention mechanisms and a novel multiple shooting training strategy in the latent space. These enhancements have led to a significant increase in its performance in both reconstruction and forecast tasks, as demonstrated by our evaluation of simulated and empirical data. Specifically, GOKU-UI outperformed all baseline models on synthetic datasets even with a training set 32-fold smaller, underscoring its remarkable data efficiency. Furthermore, when applied to empirical human brain data, while incorporating stochastic Stuart-Landau oscillators into its dynamical core, it not only surpassed state-of-the-art baseline methods in the reconstruction task, but also demonstrated better prediction of future brain activity up to 12 seconds ahead. By training GOKU-UI on resting-state fMRI data, we encoded whole-brain dynamics into a latent representation, learning an effective low-dimensional dynamical system model that could offer insights into brain functionality and open avenues for practical applications such as mental state or psychiatric condition classification. Ultimately, our research provides further impetus for the field of Scientific Machine Learning, showcasing the potential for advancements when established scientific insights are interwoven with modern machine learning.

TL;DR: The authors propose to combine the attentive contextual bandit approach with an unsupervised learning mechanism such as clustering to address the missing feedback setting, where the user feedback associated with the dialogue agent may not always be observed.
Abstract: Within the domain of dialogue, the ability to orchestrate multiple independently trained dialogue agents to create a unified system is of particular importance. Where we define orchestration as the task of selecting a subset of skills which most appropriately answer a user input using features extracted from both the user input and the individual skills. In this work, we study the task of online dialogue orchestration where the user feedback associated with the dialogue agent may not always be observed. In order to address the missing feedback setting, we propose to combine the attentive contextual bandit approach with an unsupervised learning mechanism such as clustering. By leveraging clustering to estimate missing reward, we are able to learn from each incoming event, even those with missing rewards. Promising empirical results are obtained on proprietary conversational datasets.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors address the challenges involved in ethical evaluation of a multimodal artificial intelligence system, focusing on taking both text and an image as input and output text, completing the sentence or answering the question asked as input.
Abstract: The impact of artificial intelligence systems on our society is increasing at an unprecedented speed. For instance, ChatGPT is being tested in mental health treatment applications such as Koko, Stable Diffusion generates pieces of art competitive with (or outperforming) human artists, and so on. Ethical concerns regarding the behavior and applications of generative AI systems have been increasing over the past years, and the field of AI alignment - steering the behavior of AI systems towards being aligned with human values - is a rapidly growing subfield of modern AI. In this paper, we address the challenges involved in ethical evaluation of a multimodal artificial intelligence system. The multimodal systems we focus on take both text and an image as input and output text, completing the sentence or answering the question asked as input. We perform the evaluation of these models in two steps: we first discus the creation of a multimodal ethical database and then use this database to construct morality-evaluating algorithms. The creation of the multimodal ethical database is done interactively through human feedback. Users are presented with multiple examples and votes on whether they are ethical or not. Once these answers have been aggregated into a dataset, we built and tested different algorithms to automatically evaluate the morality of multimodal systems. These algorithms aim to classify the answers as ethical or not. The models we tested are a RoBERTa-large classifier and a multilayer perceptron classifier.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose a method to learn an exploration policy that maximizes the entropy of the state visitation distribution of a single trajectory by conditioning on past episodic experience to make the next exploratory move.
Abstract: Animals have a developed ability to explore that aids them in important tasks such as locating food, exploring for shelter, and finding misplaced items. These exploration skills necessarily track where they have been so that they can plan for finding items with relative efficiency. Contemporary exploration algorithms often learn a less efficient exploration strategy because they either condition only on the current state or simply rely on making random open-loop exploratory moves. In this work, we propose $\eta\psi$-Learning, a method to learn efficient exploratory policies by conditioning on past episodic experience to make the next exploratory move. Specifically, $\eta\psi$-Learning learns an exploration policy that maximizes the entropy of the state visitation distribution of a single trajectory. Furthermore, we demonstrate how variants of the predecessor representation and successor representations can be combined to predict the state visitation entropy. Our experiments demonstrate the efficacy of $\eta\psi$-Learning to strategically explore the environment and maximize the state coverage with limited samples.
