传统的机器学习（ML）严重依赖于机器学习专家的手动设计，以决定学习任务，数据，模型，优化算法和评估指标，以及劳动密集型，耗时，不能像人类那样自主学习。在教育科学，自我导向的学习中，人类学习者在不需要动手指导的情况下选择学习任务和材料，已经显示出比被动教师引导的学习更有效。灵感来自自我导向的人类学习的概念，我们介绍了自我导向机器学习（SDML）的主要概念，并为SDML提出了一个框架。具体而言，我们设计SDML作为自我意识引导的自我指导的学习过程，包括内部意识和外部意识。我们提出的SDML进程从自我任务选择，自我数据选择，自我模型选择，自我优化策略选择和自我意识中选择的自我认识，没有人为指导。同时，SDML过程的学习性能是进一步提高自我意识的反馈。我们为基于多级优化的SDML提出了一种数学制定。此外，我们将案例研究与SDML的潜在应用一起，随后讨论未来的研究方向。我们希望SDML能够使机器能够进行人类的自我导向学习，并为人为一般情报提供新的视角。

近年来，随着新颖的策略和应用，神经网络一直在迅速扩展。然而，尽管不可避免地会针对关键应用程序来解决这些挑战，例如神经网络技术诸如神经网络技术中仍未解决诸如神经网络技术的挑战。已经尝试通过用符号表示来表示和嵌入域知识来克服神经网络计算中的挑战。因此，出现了神经符号学习（Nesyl）概念，其中结合了符号表示的各个方面，并将常识带入神经网络（Nesyl）。在可解释性，推理和解释性至关重要的领域中，例如视频和图像字幕，提问和推理，健康信息学和基因组学，Nesyl表现出了有希望的结果。这篇综述介绍了一项有关最先进的Nesyl方法的全面调查，其原理，机器和深度学习算法的进步，诸如Opthalmology之类的应用以及最重要的是该新兴领域的未来观点。

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in tasks such as object recognition, video games, and board games, achieving performance that equals or even beats humans in some respects. Despite their biological inspiration and performance achievements, these systems differ from human intelligence in crucial ways. We review progress in cognitive science suggesting that truly human-like learning and thinking machines will have to reach beyond current engineering trends in both what they learn, and how they learn it. Specifically, we argue that these machines should (a) build causal models of the world that support explanation and understanding, rather than merely solving pattern recognition problems; (b) ground learning in intuitive theories of physics and psychology, to support and enrich the knowledge that is learned; and (c) harness compositionality and learning-to-learn to rapidly acquire and generalize knowledge to new tasks and situations. We suggest concrete challenges and promising routes towards these goals that can combine the strengths of recent neural network advances with more structured cognitive models.

旨在用自然语言和谐地与人类交流的智能对话体系对于促进人工智能时代的人机互动的发展非常出色。有了逐渐复杂的人类计算机交互要求（例如，多模式输入，时间敏感性），传统的基于文本的对话系统很难满足对更加生动和方便的交互的需求。因此，视觉背景增强对话系统（VAD）有可能通过感知和理解多模式信息（即图像或视频中的视觉上下文，文本对话历史记录）与人类进行交流，已成为主要的研究范式。 VAD受益于视觉和文本上下文之间的一致性和互补性，具有产生引人入胜和背景感知响应的潜力。为了描述VAD的开发，我们首先表征VAD的概念和独特功能，然后介绍其通用系统体系结构以说明系统工作流程。随后，对一些研究挑战和代表性作品进行了详细研究，然后进行了权威基准摘要。我们通过提出一些开放问题和有前途的VAD研究趋势来结束本文，例如，在跨模式对话环境下，人机对话的认知机制以及知识增强的跨模式语义互动。

最近的自主代理和机器人的应用，如自动驾驶汽车，情景的培训师，勘探机器人和服务机器人带来了关注与当前生成人工智能（AI）系统相关的至关重要的信任相关挑战。尽管取得了巨大的成功，基于连接主义深度学习神经网络方法的神经网络方法缺乏解释他们对他人的决策和行动的能力。没有符号解释能力，它们是黑色盒子，这使得他们的决定或行动不透明，这使得难以信任它们在安全关键的应用中。最近对AI系统解释性的立场目睹了可解释的人工智能（XAI）的几种方法;然而，大多数研究都专注于应用于计算科学中的数据驱动的XAI系统。解决越来越普遍的目标驱动器和机器人的研究仍然缺失。本文评论了可解释的目标驱动智能代理和机器人的方法，重点是解释和沟通代理人感知功能的技术（示例，感官和愿景）和认知推理（例如，信仰，欲望，意图，计划和目标）循环中的人类。审查强调了强调透明度，可辨与和持续学习以获得解释性的关键策略。最后，本文提出了解释性的要求，并提出了用于实现有效目标驱动可解释的代理和机器人的路线图。

Graph mining tasks arise from many different application domains, ranging from social networks, transportation to E-commerce, etc., which have been receiving great attention from the theoretical and algorithmic design communities in recent years, and there has been some pioneering work employing the research-rich Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques to address graph data mining tasks. However, these graph mining methods and RL models are dispersed in different research areas, which makes it hard to compare them. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of RL and graph mining methods and generalize these methods to Graph Reinforcement Learning (GRL) as a unified formulation. We further discuss the applications of GRL methods across various domains and summarize the method descriptions, open-source codes, and benchmark datasets of GRL methods. Furthermore, we propose important directions and challenges to be solved in the future. As far as we know, this is the latest work on a comprehensive survey of GRL, this work provides a global view and a learning resource for scholars. In addition, we create an online open-source for both interested scholars who want to enter this rapidly developing domain and experts who would like to compare GRL methods.

通过整合人类的知识和经验，人在循环旨在以最低成本培训准确的预测模型。人类可以为机器学习应用提供培训数据，并直接完成在基于机器的方法中对管道中计算机中的难以实现的任务。在本文中，我们从数据的角度调查了人类循环的现有工作，并将它们分为三类具有渐进关系：（1）从数据处理中提高模型性能的工作，（2）通过介入模型培训提高模型性能，（3）系统的设计独立于循环的设计。使用上述分类，我们总结了该领域的主要方法;随着他们的技术优势/弱点以及自然语言处理，计算机愿景等的简单分类和讨论。此外，我们提供了一些开放的挑战和机遇。本调查打算为人类循环提供高级别的摘要，并激励有兴趣的读者，以考虑设计有效的循环解决方案的方法。

We are currently unable to specify human goals and societal values in a way that reliably directs AI behavior. Law-making and legal interpretation form a computational engine that converts opaque human values into legible directives. "Law Informs Code" is the research agenda capturing complex computational legal processes, and embedding them in AI. Similar to how parties to a legal contract cannot foresee every potential contingency of their future relationship, and legislators cannot predict all the circumstances under which their proposed bills will be applied, we cannot ex ante specify rules that provably direct good AI behavior. Legal theory and practice have developed arrays of tools to address these specification problems. For instance, legal standards allow humans to develop shared understandings and adapt them to novel situations. In contrast to more prosaic uses of the law (e.g., as a deterrent of bad behavior through the threat of sanction), leveraged as an expression of how humans communicate their goals, and what society values, Law Informs Code. We describe how data generated by legal processes (methods of law-making, statutory interpretation, contract drafting, applications of legal standards, legal reasoning, etc.) can facilitate the robust specification of inherently vague human goals. This increases human-AI alignment and the local usefulness of AI. Toward society-AI alignment, we present a framework for understanding law as the applied philosophy of multi-agent alignment. Although law is partly a reflection of historically contingent political power - and thus not a perfect aggregation of citizen preferences - if properly parsed, its distillation offers the most legitimate computational comprehension of societal values available. If law eventually informs powerful AI, engaging in the deliberative political process to improve law takes on even more meaning.

Neural-symbolic computing (NeSy), which pursues the integration of the symbolic and statistical paradigms of cognition, has been an active research area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for many years. As NeSy shows promise of reconciling the advantages of reasoning and interpretability of symbolic representation and robust learning in neural networks, it may serve as a catalyst for the next generation of AI. In the present paper, we provide a systematic overview of the important and recent developments of research on NeSy AI. Firstly, we introduce study history of this area, covering early work and foundations. We further discuss background concepts and identify key driving factors behind the development of NeSy. Afterward, we categorize recent landmark approaches along several main characteristics that underline this research paradigm, including neural-symbolic integration, knowledge representation, knowledge embedding, and functionality. Then, we briefly discuss the successful application of modern NeSy approaches in several domains. Finally, we identify the open problems together with potential future research directions. This survey is expected to help new researchers enter this rapidly-developing field and accelerate progress towards data-and knowledge-driven AI.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a popular machine learning paradigm where intelligent agents interact with the environment to fulfill a long-term goal. Driven by the resurgence of deep learning, Deep RL (DRL) has witnessed great success over a wide spectrum of complex control tasks. Despite the encouraging results achieved, the deep neural network-based backbone is widely deemed as a black box that impedes practitioners to trust and employ trained agents in realistic scenarios where high security and reliability are essential. To alleviate this issue, a large volume of literature devoted to shedding light on the inner workings of the intelligent agents has been proposed, by constructing intrinsic interpretability or post-hoc explainability. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of existing works on eXplainable RL (XRL) and introduce a new taxonomy where prior works are clearly categorized into model-explaining, reward-explaining, state-explaining, and task-explaining methods. We also review and highlight RL methods that conversely leverage human knowledge to promote learning efficiency and performance of agents while this kind of method is often ignored in XRL field. Some challenges and opportunities in XRL are discussed. This survey intends to provide a high-level summarization of XRL and to motivate future research on more effective XRL solutions. Corresponding open source codes are collected and categorized at https://github.com/Plankson/awesome-explainable-reinforcement-learning.

机器学习（ML）为生物处理工程的发展做出了重大贡献，但其应用仍然有限，阻碍了生物过程自动化的巨大潜力。用于模型构建自动化的ML可以看作是引入另一种抽象水平的一种方式，将专家的人类集中在生物过程开发的最认知任务中。首先，概率编程用于预测模型的自动构建。其次，机器学习会通过计划实验来测试假设并进行调查以收集信息性数据来自动评估替代决策，以收集基于模型预测不确定性的模型选择的信息数据。这篇评论提供了有关生物处理开发中基于ML的自动化的全面概述。一方面，生物技术和生物工程社区应意识到现有ML解决方案在生物技术和生物制药中的应用的限制。另一方面，必须确定缺失的链接，以使ML和人工智能（AI）解决方案轻松实施在有价值的生物社区解决方案中。我们总结了几个重要的生物处理系统的ML实施，并提出了两个至关重要的挑战，这些挑战仍然是生物技术自动化的瓶颈，并减少了生物技术开发的不确定性。没有一个合适的程序；但是，这项综述应有助于确定结合生物技术和ML领域的潜在自动化。

主张神经符号人工智能（NESY）断言，将深度学习与象征性推理相结合将导致AI更强大，而不是本身。像深度学习一样成功，人们普遍认为，即使我们最好的深度学习系统也不是很擅长抽象推理。而且，由于推理与语言密不可分，因此具有直觉的意义，即自然语言处理（NLP）将成为NESY特别适合的候选人。我们对实施NLP实施NESY的研究进行了结构化审查，目的是回答Nesy是否确实符合其承诺的问题：推理，分布概括，解释性，学习和从小数据的可转让性以及新的推理到新的域。我们研究了知识表示的影响，例如规则和语义网络，语言结构和关系结构，以及隐式或明确的推理是否有助于更高的承诺分数。我们发现，将逻辑编译到神经网络中的系统会导致满足最NESY的目标，而其他因素（例如知识表示或神经体系结构的类型）与实现目标没有明显的相关性。我们发现在推理的定义方式上，特别是与人类级别的推理有关的许多差异，这会影响有关模型架构的决策并推动结论，这些结论在整个研究中并不总是一致的。因此，我们倡导采取更加有条不紊的方法来应用人类推理的理论以及适当的基准的发展，我们希望这可以更好地理解该领域的进步。我们在GitHub上提供数据和代码以进行进一步分析。

组合优化是运营研究和计算机科学领域的一个公认领域。直到最近，它的方法一直集中在孤立地解决问题实例，而忽略了它们通常源于实践中的相关数据分布。但是，近年来，人们对使用机器学习，尤其是图形神经网络（GNN）的兴趣激增，作为组合任务的关键构件，直接作为求解器或通过增强确切的求解器。GNN的电感偏差有效地编码了组合和关系输入，因为它们对排列和对输入稀疏性的意识的不变性。本文介绍了对这个新兴领域的最新主要进步的概念回顾，旨在优化和机器学习研究人员。

近年来，随着传感器和智能设备的广泛传播，物联网（IoT）系统的数据生成速度已大大增加。在物联网系统中，必须经常处理，转换和分析大量数据，以实现各种物联网服务和功能。机器学习（ML）方法已显示出其物联网数据分析的能力。但是，将ML模型应用于物联网数据分析任务仍然面临许多困难和挑战，特别是有效的模型选择，设计/调整和更新，这给经验丰富的数据科学家带来了巨大的需求。此外，物联网数据的动态性质可能引入概念漂移问题，从而导致模型性能降解。为了减少人类的努力，自动化机器学习（AUTOML）已成为一个流行的领域，旨在自动选择，构建，调整和更新机器学习模型，以在指定任务上实现最佳性能。在本文中，我们对Automl区域中模型选择，调整和更新过程中的现有方法进行了审查，以识别和总结将ML算法应用于IoT数据分析的每个步骤的最佳解决方案。为了证明我们的发现并帮助工业用户和研究人员更好地实施汽车方法，在这项工作中提出了将汽车应用于IoT异常检测问题的案例研究。最后，我们讨论并分类了该领域的挑战和研究方向。

Any organization needs to improve their products, services, and processes. In this context, engaging with customers and understanding their journey is essential. Organizations have leveraged various techniques and technologies to support customer engagement, from call centres to chatbots and virtual agents. Recently, these systems have used Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze large volumes of customer feedback and engagement data. The goal is to understand customers in context and provide meaningful answers across various channels. Despite multiple advances in Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Recommender Systems (RS), it is still challenging to understand the intent behind customer questions during the customer journey. To address this challenge, in this paper, we study and analyze the recent work in Conversational Recommender Systems (CRS) in general and, more specifically, in chatbot-based CRS. We introduce a pipeline to contextualize the input utterances in conversations. We then take the next step towards leveraging reverse feature engineering to link the contextualized input and learning model to support intent recognition. Since performance evaluation is achieved based on different ML models, we use transformer base models to evaluate the proposed approach using a labelled dialogue dataset (MSDialogue) of question-answering interactions between information seekers and answer providers.

Natural Language Generation (NLG) has improved exponentially in recent years thanks to the development of sequence-to-sequence deep learning technologies such as Transformer-based language models. This advancement has led to more fluent and coherent NLG, leading to improved development in downstream tasks such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and data-to-text generation. However, it is also apparent that deep learning based generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades the system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, many studies have been presented in measuring and mitigating hallucinated texts, but these have never been reviewed in a comprehensive manner before. In this survey, we thus provide a broad overview of the research progress and challenges in the hallucination problem in NLG. The survey is organized into two parts: (1) a general overview of metrics, mitigation methods, and future directions; and (2) an overview of task-specific research progress on hallucinations in the following downstream tasks, namely abstractive summarization, dialogue generation, generative question answering, data-to-text generation, machine translation, and visual-language generation. This survey serves to facilitate collaborative efforts among researchers in tackling the challenge of hallucinated texts in NLG.

Transformer, originally devised for natural language processing, has also attested significant success in computer vision. Thanks to its super expressive power, researchers are investigating ways to deploy transformers to reinforcement learning (RL) and the transformer-based models have manifested their potential in representative RL benchmarks. In this paper, we collect and dissect recent advances on transforming RL by transformer (transformer-based RL or TRL), in order to explore its development trajectory and future trend. We group existing developments in two categories: architecture enhancement and trajectory optimization, and examine the main applications of TRL in robotic manipulation, text-based games, navigation and autonomous driving. For architecture enhancement, these methods consider how to apply the powerful transformer structure to RL problems under the traditional RL framework, which model agents and environments much more precisely than deep RL methods, but they are still limited by the inherent defects of traditional RL algorithms, such as bootstrapping and "deadly triad". For trajectory optimization, these methods treat RL problems as sequence modeling and train a joint state-action model over entire trajectories under the behavior cloning framework, which are able to extract policies from static datasets and fully use the long-sequence modeling capability of the transformer. Given these advancements, extensions and challenges in TRL are reviewed and proposals about future direction are discussed. We hope that this survey can provide a detailed introduction to TRL and motivate future research in this rapidly developing field.

虽然深增强学习已成为连续决策问题的有希望的机器学习方法，但对于自动驾驶或医疗应用等高利害域来说仍然不够成熟。在这种情况下，学习的政策需要例如可解释，因此可以在任何部署之前检查它（例如，出于安全性和验证原因）。本调查概述了各种方法，以实现加固学习（RL）的更高可解释性。为此，我们将解释性（作为模型的财产区分开来和解释性（作为HOC操作后的讲话，通过代理的干预），并在RL的背景下讨论它们，并强调前概念。特别是，我们认为可译文的RL可能会拥抱不同的刻面：可解释的投入，可解释（转型/奖励）模型和可解释的决策。根据该计划，我们总结和分析了与可解释的RL相关的最近工作，重点是过去10年来发表的论文。我们还简要讨论了一些相关的研究领域并指向一些潜在的有前途的研究方向。
