Few-Shot Learning Through an Information Retrieval Lens
E. Triantafillou, R. Zemel, R. Urtasun
Few-shot learning refers to understanding new concepts from only a few examples. We propose an information retrieval-inspired approach for this problem that is motivated by the increased importance of maximally leveraging all the available information in this low-data regime. [PDF]

The Mirage of Action-Dependent Baselines in Reinforcement Learning
G. Tucker, S. Bhupatiraju, S. Gu, R. Turner, Z. Ghahramani, S. Levine
Policy gradient methods are a widely used class of model-free reinforcement learning algorithms where a state-dependent baseline is used to reduce gradient estimator variance. Several recent papers extend the baseline to depend on both the state and action and suggest that this significantly reduces variance and improves sample efficiency without introducing bias into the gradient estimates.

Heterogeneous Causal Learning for Effectiveness Optimization in User Marketing
W. Y. Zou, S. Du, J. Lee, J. Pedersen
User marketing is a key focus of consumer-based internet companies. Learning algorithms are effective to optimize marketing campaigns which increase user engagement, and facilitates cross-marketing to related products. By attracting users with rewards, marketing methods are effective to boost user activity in the desired products. Rewards incur significant cost that can be off-set by increase in future revenue.

Learning to Localize through Compressed Binary Maps
X. Wei, I. A. Bârsan, S. Wang, J. Martinez, R. Urtasun
One of the main difficulties of scaling current localization systems to large environments is the on-board storage required for the maps. In this paper we propose to learn to compress the map representation such that it is optimal for the localization task. […] [PDF]

Learning deep structured active contours end-to-end
D. Marcos, D. Tuia, B. Kellenberger, L. Zhang, M. Bai, R. Liao, R. Urtasun
The world is covered with millions of buildings, and precisely knowing each instance’s position and extents is vital to a multitude of applications. Recently, automated building footprint segmentation models have shown superior detection accuracy thanks to the usage of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). […] [PDF]

AI-GAs: AI-generating algorithms, an alternate paradigm for producing general artificial intelligence
J. Clune
Perhaps the most ambitious scientific quest in human history is the creation of general artificial intelligence, which roughly means AI that is as smart or smarter than humans. The dominant approach in the machine learning community is to attempt to discover each of the pieces required for intelligence, with the implicit assumption that some future group will complete the Herculean task of figuring out how to combine all of those pieces into a complex thinking machine.

Weakly supervised collective feature learning from curated media
Y. Mukuta, A. Kimura, D. Adrian, Z. Ghahramani
The current state-of-the-art in feature learning relies on the supervised learning of large-scale datasets consisting of target content items and their respective category labels. However, constructing such large-scale fully-labeled datasets generally requires painstaking manual effort. One possible solution to this problem is to employ community contributed text tags as weak labels, however, the concepts underlying a single text tag strongly depends on the users. […] [PDF]
