Synthesizing Reactive Test Environments for Autonomous Systems: Testing Reach-Avoid Specifications with Multi-Commodity Flows

Apurva Badithela, Josefine B. Graebener, Wyatt Ubellacker, Eric V. Mazumdar, Aaron D. Ames, Richard M. Murray

ICRA 2023poster

We study automated test generation for testing discrete decision-making modules in autonomous systems. Linear temporal logic is used to encode the system specification - requirements of the system under test - and the test specification, which is unknown to the system and describes the desired test…

Fast Distributionally Robust Learning with Variance-Reduced Min-Max Optimization

Yaodong Yu, Tianyi Lin, Eric V. Mazumdar, Michael Jordan

AISTATS 2022poster

Distributionally robust supervised learning (DRSL) is emerging as a key paradigm for building reliable machine learning systems for real-world applications–reflecting the need for classifiers and predictive models that are robust to the distribution shifts that arise from phenomena such as selection…

Langevin Monte Carlo for Contextual Bandits

Pan Xu, Hongkai Zheng, Eric V Mazumdar, Kamyar Azizzadenesheli, Animashree Anandkumar

ICML 2022spotlight

We study the efficiency of Thompson sampling for contextual bandits. Existing Thompson sampling-based algorithms need to construct a Laplace approximation (i.e., a Gaussian distribution) of the posterior distribution, which is inefficient to sample in high dimensional applications for general covari…
