The mentioned data sender emits data to the DSPS, which is mostly car position reports. Depending on the overall situation on the expressways, car position reports may require the DSPS to create an output or not. Next to car position reports, the remaining input data represent an explicit query which always requires an...

The benchmark result for a system is summarized as a so called L-rating. This metric defined by Linear Road expresses how many expressways the system could handle while meeting the defined response time requirements for each query. A higher number of expressways corresponds to a higher data input rate for the SUT. When...

Convolutional neural networks have been widely used in content-based image retrieval. To better deal with large-scale data, the deep hashing model is proposed as an effective method, which maps an image to a binary code that can be used for hashing search. However, most existing deep hashing models only utilize fine-le...
Recently, the semantic hierarchy learning problem has been addressed in several works. The hierarchical semantic image retrieval model is proposed in @cite_14 . This work encodes hierarchy in semantic similarity. By combining the coarse and fine level labels, work in @cite_18 proves that the image classification perfor...

The idea of planning (searching in a deterministic model of the world to find a good strategy) and then training a policy to mimic what was learned is reminiscent of . It plans (in the Atari emulator) with UCT @cite_100 @cite_22 @cite_73 , which is slow, and then trains a much faster policy with supervised learning to ...

A grand challenge in reinforcement learning is intelligent exploration, especially when rewards are sparse or deceptive. Two Atari games serve as benchmarks for such hard-exploration domains: Montezuma's Revenge and Pitfall. On both games, current RL algorithms perform poorly, even those with intrinsic motivation, whic...
UCT plans in a model of the world so as to decide on the next action to take in the real environment. An exploration bonus is used during the planning phase, but only extrinsic rewards are considered when choosing the next action to take. This approach can improve performance in domains with relatively dense rewards, b...

Another approach to planning is Fractal Monte Carlo (FMC) @cite_78 . When choosing the next action, it takes into account both the expected reward and novelty of that action, and in that way is more similar to Go-Explore. In FMC, a planning process is initiated from each state the agent visits. Planning is done within ...

On Pitfall, SOORL @cite_51 was the first planning algorithm to achieve a non-zero score, but did so in a deterministic test environment. It does so through a combination of learning a model of the environment, domain knowledge, and a value function that is optimistic about the value of unseen states, thus effectively p...

We propose to meta-learn causal structures based on how fast a learner adapts to new distributions arising from sparse distributional changes, e.g. due to interventions, actions of agents and other sources of non-stationarities. We show that under this assumption, the correct causal structural choices lead to faster ad...
Approaches for Bayesian network structure learning based on discrete search over model structures and simulated annealing are reviewed in .

We present a new two-stage 3D object detection framework, named sparse-to-dense 3D Object Detector (STD). The first stage is a bottom-up proposal generation network that uses raw point cloud as input to generate accurate proposals by seeding each point with a new spherical anchor. It achieves a high recall with less co...
There are several approaches to tackle semantic segmentation on point cloud. In @cite_5 , a projection function converts LiDAR points to a UV map, which is then classified by 2D semantic segmentation @cite_5 @cite_7 @cite_3 in pixel level. In @cite_11 @cite_21 , a multi-view-based function produces the segmentation mas...

Are neural networks biased toward simple functions? Does depth always help learn more complex features? Is training the last layer of a network as good as training all layers? These questions seem unrelated at face value, but in this work we give all of them a common treatment from the spectral perspective. We will stu...
This signal propagation perspective can be refined via random matrix theory @cite_25 @cite_24 . In these works, free probability is leveraged to compute the singular value distribution of the input-output map given by the random neural network, as the input dimension and width tend to infinity together.
