Learning to encode spatial relations from natural language

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Tiago Ramalho, Tomas Kocisky‎, Frederic Besse, S. M. Ali Eslami, Gabor Melis, Fabio Viola, Phil Blunsom, Karl Moritz Hermann

Natural language processing has made significant inroads into learning the semantics of words through distributional approaches, however representations learnt via these methods fail to capture certain kinds of information implicit in the real world.

Building embodied AI systems that can follow arbitrary language instructions in any 3D environment is a key challenge for creating general AI.

Self-Organizing Intelligent Matter: A blueprint for an AI generating algorithm

no code implementations19 Jan 2021 Karol Gregor, Frederic Besse

We propose an artificial life framework aimed at facilitating the emergence of intelligent organisms.

TF-Replicator: Distributed Machine Learning for Researchers

1 code implementation1 Feb 2019 Peter Buchlovsky, David Budden, Dominik Grewe, Chris Jones, John Aslanides, Frederic Besse, Andy Brock, Aidan Clark, Sergio Gómez Colmenarejo, Aedan Pope, Fabio Viola, Dan Belov

We describe TF-Replicator, a framework for distributed machine learning designed for DeepMind researchers and implemented as an abstraction over TensorFlow.

Learning models for visual 3D localization with implicit mapping

no code implementations4 Jul 2018 Dan Rosenbaum, Frederic Besse, Fabio Viola, Danilo J. Rezende, S. M. Ali Eslami

We consider learning based methods for visual localization that do not require the construction of explicit maps in the form of point clouds or voxels.

Encoding Spatial Relations from Natural Language

1 code implementation4 Jul 2018 Tiago Ramalho, Tomáš Kočiský, Frederic Besse, S. M. Ali Eslami, Gábor Melis, Fabio Viola, Phil Blunsom, Karl Moritz Hermann

Natural language processing has made significant inroads into learning the semantics of words through distributional approaches, however representations learnt via these methods fail to capture certain kinds of information implicit in the real world.

Temporal Difference Variational Auto-Encoder

1 code implementation ICLR 2019 Karol Gregor, George Papamakarios, Frederic Besse, Lars Buesing, Theophane Weber

To act and plan in complex environments, we posit that agents should have a mental simulator of the world with three characteristics: (a) it should build an abstract state representing the condition of the world; (b) it should form a belief which represents uncertainty on the world; (c) it should go beyond simple step-by-step simulation, and exhibit temporal abstraction.

Towards Conceptual Compression

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2016 Karol Gregor, Frederic Besse, Danilo Jimenez Rezende, Ivo Danihelka, Daan Wierstra

We introduce a simple recurrent variational auto-encoder architecture that significantly improves image modeling.
