This paper introduces the Intentional Unintentional (IU) agent. This agent endows the deep deterministic policy gradients (DDPG) agent for continuous control with the ability to solve several tasks simultaneously. Learning to solve many tasks simultaneously has been a long-standing, core goal of artificial intelligence, inspired by infant development and motivated by the desire to build flexible robot manipulators capable of many diverse behaviours. We show that the IU agent not only learns to solve many tasks simultaneously but it also learns faster than agents that target a single task at-a-time. In some cases, where the single task DDPG method completely fails, the IU agent successfully solves the task. To demonstrate this, we build a playroom environment using the MuJoCo physics engine, and introduce a grounded formal language to automatically generate tasks.

Several studies have reported the inability of Transformer models to generalize compositionally, a key type of generalization in many NLP tasks such as semantic parsing. In this paper we explore the design space of Transformer models showing that the
inductive biases given to the model by several design decisions significantly impact compositional generalization. Through this exploration, we identified Transformer configurations that generalize compositionally significantly better than previously reported in the literature in a diverse set of compositional tasks, and that achieve state-of-the-art results in a semantic parsing compositional generalization benchmark (COGS), and a string edit operation composition benchmark (PCFG).
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a promising approach for solving various control, optimization, and sequential decision making tasks. However, designing reward functions for complex tasks (e.g., with multiple objectives and safety constraints) can be
challenging for most users and usually requires multiple expensive trials (reward function hacking). In this paper we propose a specification language (Inkling Goal Specification) for complex control and optimization tasks, which is very close to natural language and allows a practitioner to focus on problem specification instead of reward function hacking. The core elements of our framework are: (i) mapping the high level language to a predicate temporal logic tailored to control and optimization tasks, (ii) a novel automaton-guided dense reward generation that can be used to drive RL algorithms, and (iii) a set of performance metrics to assess the behavior of the system. We include a set of experiments showing that the proposed method provides great ease of use to specify a wide range of real world tasks; and that the reward generated is able to drive the policy training to achieve the specified goal.
Role-based learning holds the promise of achieving scalable multi-agent learning by decomposing complex tasks using roles. However, it is largely unclear how to efficiently discover such a set of roles. To solve this problem, we propose to first deco
mpose joint action spaces into restricted role action spaces by clustering actions according to their effects on the environment and other agents. Learning a role selector based on action effects makes role discovery much easier because it forms a bi-level learning hierarchy -- the role selector searches in a smaller role space and at a lower temporal resolution, while role policies learn in significantly reduced primitive action-observation spaces. We further integrate information about action effects into the role policies to boost learning efficiency and policy generalization. By virtue of these advances, our method (1) outperforms the current state-of-the-art MARL algorithms on 10 of the 14 scenarios that comprise the challenging StarCraft II micromanagement benchmark and (2) achieves rapid transfer to new environments with three times the number of agents.

There has been an increasing interest in harnessing deep learning to tackle combinatorial optimization (CO) problems in recent years. Typical CO deep learning approaches leverage the problem structure in the model architecture. Nevertheless, the mode
l selection is still mainly based on the conventional machine learning setting. Due to the discrete nature of CO problems, a single model is unlikely to learn the problem entirely. We introduce ZTop, which stands for Zero Training Overhead Portfolio, a simple yet effective model selection and ensemble mechanism for learning to solve combinatorial problems. ZTop is inspired by algorithm portfolios, a popular CO ensembling strategy, particularly restart portfolios, which periodically restart a randomized CO algorithm, de facto exploring the search space with different heuristics. We have observed that well-trained models acquired in the same training trajectory, with similar top validation performance, perform well on very different validation instances. Following this observation, ZTop ensembles a set of well-trained models, each providing a unique heuristic with zero training overhead, and applies them, sequentially or in parallel, to solve the test instances. We show how ZTopping, i.e., using a ZTop ensemble strategy with a given deep learning approach, can significantly improve the performance of the current state-of-the-art deep learning approaches on three prototypical CO domains, the hardest unique-solution Sudoku instances, challenging routing problems, and the graph maximum cut problem, as well as on multi-label classification, a machine learning task with a large combinatorial label space.
The use of semi-autonomous and autonomous robotic assistants to aid in care of the elderly is expected to ease the burden on human caretakers, with small-stage testing already occurring in a variety of countries. Yet, it is likely that these robots w
ill need to request human assistance via teleoperation when domain expertise is needed for a specific task. As deployment of robotic assistants moves to scale, mapping these requests for human aid to the teleoperators themselves will be a difficult online optimization problem. In this paper, we design a system that allocates requests to a limited number of teleoperators, each with different specialities, in an online fashion. We generalize a recent model of online job scheduling with a worst-case competitive-ratio bound to our setting. Next, we design a scalable machine-learning-based teleoperator-aware task scheduling algorithm and show, experimentally, that it performs well when compared to an omniscient optimal scheduling algorithm.
