Solving Constraint Tasks with Memory-Based Learning

NSH 4305

Abstract: In constraint tasks, the current task state heavily limits what actions are available to an agent. Mechanical constraints exist in many common tasks such as construction, disassembly, and rearrangement and task space constraints exist in an even broader range of tasks. Deep reinforcement learning algorithms have typically struggled with constraint tasks for two main [...]

Weak Multi-modal Supervision for Object Detection and Persuasive Media

Newell-Simon Hall 3305

Abstract:  The diversity of visual content available on the web presents new challenges and opportunities for computer vision models. In this talk, I present our work on learning object detection models from potentially noisy multi-modal data, retrieving complementary content across modalities, transferring reasoning models across dataset boundaries, and recognizing objects in non-photorealistic media.  While the [...]
