我们提出了连续表示的时间扩展变化，我们称其为t-SR。 T-SR通过在原始动作重复序列上构造后继表示，捕获了时间扩展动作的预期状态过渡动力学。这种时间抽象的这种形式不能学习相关任务结构的自上而下的层次结构，而是对耦合动作和动作重复的自下而上的组成。这减少了在没有学习层次政策的情况下控制中所需的决策数量。因此，T-SR直接考虑了时间扩展的动作序列的时间范围，而无需预定义或域特异性选项。我们表明，在具有动态奖励结构的环境中，T-SR能够利用后继表示的灵活性和时间扩展的动作提供的抽象。因此，在一系列稀疏的网格世界环境中，T-SR最佳地适应策略远比基于可比的无模型的强化学习方法快得多。我们还表明，T-SR学到的解决这些任务的方式要求学习的策略的始终如一的频率比非临时扩展的策略少。

团队是人类成就的核心。在过去的半个世纪中，心理学家已经确定了五个跨文化有效的人格变量：神经质，外向性，开放性，尽职尽责和同意。前四个与团队绩效显示一致的关系。然而，令人愉快的（和谐，无私，谦虚和合作）表现出与团队绩效的无关紧要和高度可变的关系。我们通过计算建模解决这种不一致。基于代理的模型（ABM）用于预测人格特质对团队合作的影响，然后使用遗传算法来探索ABM的限制，以发现哪种特征与最佳和最差的表现相关，以解决与与最差的团队相关的问题，以解决与问题有关的问题。不同级别的不确定性（噪声）。探索所揭示的新依赖性通过分析迄今为止最大的团队绩效数据集的先前未观察到的数据来证实，其中包括593个团队中的3,698个个人，从事5,000多个没有不确定性的小组任务，在10年内收集了不确定性。我们的发现是，团队绩效和同意之间的依赖性受到任务不确定性的调节。以这种方式将进化计算与ABM相结合，为团队合作的科学研究，做出新的预测以及提高我们对人类行为的理解提供了一种新方法。我们的结果证实了计算机建模对发展理论的潜在实用性，并阐明了随着工作环境的越来越流畅和不确定的启示。

现实世界的设计问题是约束，目标和功能的混合组合。探索这些问题空间可以定义为多标准探索（MCX）问题，其目标是在许多目标中产生一组具有高性能的不同解决方案，同时避免在任何目标中均表现较低。质量多样性算法产生所需的设计变化，但通常仅考虑一个目标。我们提出了一个新的排名T-Domino，专门设计用于处理MCX问题中的多个目标。 T-Domino将相对于档案中的其他解决方案进行排名，从而使表现平衡的个人相对于以其他目标为代价的人来表现出色。在每个地图 - 精英垃圾箱中仅保留一个平衡的解决方案可以保持档案的可访问性 - 这是设计探索的强大资产。我们在一组易于理解的基准测试中说明了我们的方法，并在许多目标现实世界的架构案例研究中展示了其潜力。

This paper presents a novel approach to the acquisition of language models from corpora. The framework builds on Cobweb, an early system for constructing taxonomic hierarchies of probabilistic concepts that used a tabular, attribute-value encoding of training cases and concepts, making it unsuitable for sequential input like language. In response, we explore three new extensions to Cobweb -- the Word, Leaf, and Path variants. These systems encode each training case as an anchor word and surrounding context words, and they store probabilistic descriptions of concepts as distributions over anchor and context information. As in the original Cobweb, a performance element sorts a new instance downward through the hierarchy and uses the final node to predict missing features. Learning is interleaved with performance, updating concept probabilities and hierarchy structure as classification occurs. Thus, the new approaches process training cases in an incremental, online manner that it very different from most methods for statistical language learning. We examine how well the three variants place synonyms together and keep homonyms apart, their ability to recall synonyms as a function of training set size, and their training efficiency. Finally, we discuss related work on incremental learning and directions for further research.

The evaluation of abstractive summarization models typically uses test data that is identically distributed as training data. In real-world practice, documents to be summarized may contain input noise caused by text extraction artifacts or data pipeline bugs. The robustness of model performance under distribution shift caused by such noise is relatively under-studied. We present a large empirical study quantifying the sometimes severe loss in performance (up to 12 ROUGE-1 points) from different types of input noise for a range of datasets and model sizes. We then propose a light-weight method for detecting and removing such noise in the input during model inference without requiring any extra training, auxiliary models, or even prior knowledge of the type of noise. Our proposed approach effectively mitigates the loss in performance, recovering a large fraction of the performance drop, sometimes as large as 11 ROUGE-1 points.

Text-guided image editing can have a transformative impact in supporting creative applications. A key challenge is to generate edits that are faithful to input text prompts, while consistent with input images. We present Imagen Editor, a cascaded diffusion model built, by fine-tuning Imagen on text-guided image inpainting. Imagen Editor's edits are faithful to the text prompts, which is accomplished by using object detectors to propose inpainting masks during training. In addition, Imagen Editor captures fine details in the input image by conditioning the cascaded pipeline on the original high resolution image. To improve qualitative and quantitative evaluation, we introduce EditBench, a systematic benchmark for text-guided image inpainting. EditBench evaluates inpainting edits on natural and generated images exploring objects, attributes, and scenes. Through extensive human evaluation on EditBench, we find that object-masking during training leads to across-the-board improvements in text-image alignment -- such that Imagen Editor is preferred over DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion -- and, as a cohort, these models are better at object-rendering than text-rendering, and handle material/color/size attributes better than count/shape attributes.

This paper is a technical overview of DeepMind and Google's recent work on reinforcement learning for controlling commercial cooling systems. Building on expertise that began with cooling Google's data centers more efficiently, we recently conducted live experiments on two real-world facilities in partnership with Trane Technologies, a building management system provider. These live experiments had a variety of challenges in areas such as evaluation, learning from offline data, and constraint satisfaction. Our paper describes these challenges in the hope that awareness of them will benefit future applied RL work. We also describe the way we adapted our RL system to deal with these challenges, resulting in energy savings of approximately 9% and 13% respectively at the two live experiment sites.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

在因果推理和强盗文献中，基于观察数据的线性功能估算线性功能的问题是规范的。我们分析了首先估计治疗效果函数的广泛的两阶段程序，然后使用该数量来估计线性功能。我们证明了此类过程的均方误差上的非反应性上限：这些边界表明，为了获得非反应性最佳程序，应在特定加权$ l^2 $中最大程度地估算治疗效果的误差。 -规范。我们根据该加权规范的约束回归分析了两阶段的程序，并通过匹配非轴突局部局部最小值下限，在有限样品中建立了实例依赖性最优性。这些结果表明，除了取决于渐近效率方差之外，最佳的非质子风险除了取决于样本量支持的最富有函数类别的真实结果函数与其近似类别之间的加权规范距离。

基于时空的图（STMAP）方法显示出为车辆轨迹重建处理高角度视频的巨大潜力，可以满足各种数据驱动的建模和模仿学习应用的需求。在本文中，我们开发了时空深嵌入（STDE）模型，该模型在像素和实例水平上施加了平等约束，以生成用于STMAP上车辆条纹分割的实例感知嵌入。在像素级别上，每个像素在不同范围的8-邻居像素进行编码，随后使用该编码来指导神经网络学习嵌入机制。在实例级别上，歧视性损耗函数被设计为将属于同一实例的像素更接近，并将不同实例的平均值分开。然后，通过静脉 - 沃特算法算法优化时空亲和力的输出，以获得最终的聚类结果。基于分割指标，我们的模型优于其他五个用于STMAP处理的基线，并在阴影，静态噪声和重叠的影响下显示出稳健性。该设计的模型用于处理所有公共NGSIM US-101视频，以生成完整的车辆轨迹，表明具有良好的可扩展性和适应性。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，讨论了带有STDE和未来方向的扫描线方法的优势。代码，STMAP数据集和视频轨迹在在线存储库中公开可用。 github链接：shorturl.at/jklt0。
