Multi-goal long-horizon problems are prevalent in real-world applications. The additional goal space introduced by multi-goal problems intensifies the spatial complexity of exploration; meanwhile, the long interaction sequences in long-horizon problems exacerbate the temporal complexity of explorati…
Imitation learning heavily relies on the quality of provided demonstrations. In scenarios where demonstrations are imperfect and rare, a prevalent approach for refining policies is through online fine-tuning with reinforcement learning, in which a Kullback–Leibler (KL) regularization is often employ…
Clustered federated learning (FL) has been shown to produce promising results by grouping clients into clusters. This is especially effective in scenarios where separate groups of clients have significant differences in the distributions of their local data. Existing clustered FL algorithms are esse…
An oft-cited open problem of federated learning is the existence of data heterogeneity among clients. One path- way to understanding the drastic accuracy drop in feder- ated learning is by scrutinizing the behavior of the clients' deep models on data with different levels of "difficulty", which has…
This paper proposes a new paradigm for learning a set of independent logical rules in disjunctive normal form as an interpretable model for classification. We consider the problem of learning an interpretable decision rule set as training a neural network in a specific, yet very simple two-layer arc…
Several recently proposed unsupervised meta-learning approaches rely on synthetic meta-tasks created using techniques such as random selection, clustering and/or augmentation. In this work, we describe a novel approach that generates meta-tasks using generative models. The proposed family of algorit…
Finding a small subset of data whose linear combination spans other data points, also called column subset selection problem (CSSP), is an important open problem in computer science with many applications in computer vision and deep learning. There are some studies that solve CSSP in a polynomial ti…
