Self-Supervised Continuous Control without Policy Gradient

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Hao Sun, Ziping Xu, Meng Fang, Yuhang Song, Jiechao Xiong, Bo Dai, Zhengyou Zhang, Bolei Zhou

Despite the remarkable progress made by the policy gradient algorithms in reinforcement learning (RL), sub-optimal policies usually result from the local exploration property of the policy gradient update.

TStarBot-X: An Open-Sourced and Comprehensive Study for Efficient League Training in StarCraft II Full Game

1 code implementation27 Nov 2020 Lei Han, Jiechao Xiong, Peng Sun, Xinghai Sun, Meng Fang, Qingwei Guo, Qiaobo Chen, Tengfei Shi, Hongsheng Yu, Xipeng Wu, Zhengyou Zhang

We show that with orders of less computation scale, a faithful reimplementation of AlphaStar's methods can not succeed and the proposed techniques are necessary to ensure TStarBot-X's competitive performance.

Zeroth-Order Supervised Policy Improvement

no code implementations11 Jun 2020 Hao Sun, Ziping Xu, Yuhang Song, Meng Fang, Jiechao Xiong, Bo Dai, Bolei Zhou

However, PG algorithms rely on exploiting the value function being learned with the first-order update locally, which results in limited sample efficiency.

Divergence-Augmented Policy Optimization

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Qing Wang, Yingru Li, Jiechao Xiong, Tong Zhang

In deep reinforcement learning, policy optimization methods need to deal with issues such as function approximation and the reuse of off-policy data.

TStarBots: Defeating the Cheating Level Builtin AI in StarCraft II in the Full Game

3 code implementations19 Sep 2018 Peng Sun, Xinghai Sun, Lei Han, Jiechao Xiong, Qing Wang, Bo Li, Yang Zheng, Ji Liu, Yongsheng Liu, Han Liu, Tong Zhang

Both TStarBot1 and TStarBot2 are able to defeat the built-in AI agents from level 1 to level 10 in a full game (1v1 Zerg-vs-Zerg game on the AbyssalReef map), noting that level 8, level 9, and level 10 are cheating agents with unfair advantages such as full vision on the whole map and resource harvest boosting.

A Margin-based MLE for Crowdsourced Partial Ranking

no code implementations29 Jul 2018 Qianqian Xu, Jiechao Xiong, Xinwei Sun, Zhiyong Yang, Xiaochun Cao, Qingming Huang, Yuan YAO

A preference order or ranking aggregated from pairwise comparison data is commonly understood as a strict total order.

From Social to Individuals: a Parsimonious Path of Multi-level Models for Crowdsourced Preference Aggregation

no code implementations8 Mar 2018 Qianqian Xu, Jiechao Xiong, Xiaochun Cao, Qingming Huang, Yuan YAO

In crowdsourced preference aggregation, it is often assumed that all the annotators are subject to a common preference or social utility function which generates their comparison behaviors in experiments.

Stochastic Non-convex Ordinal Embedding with Stabilized Barzilai-Borwein Step Size

1 code implementation17 Nov 2017 Ke Ma, Jinshan Zeng, Jiechao Xiong, Qianqian Xu, Xiaochun Cao, Wei Liu, Yuan YAO

Learning representation from relative similarity comparisons, often called ordinal embedding, gains rising attention in recent years.

Split LBI: An Iterative Regularization Path with Structural Sparsity

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Chendi Huang, Xinwei Sun, Jiechao Xiong, Yuan YAO

An iterative regularization path with structural sparsity is proposed in this paper based on variable splitting and the Linearized Bregman Iteration, hence called \emph{Split LBI}.

Parsimonious Mixed-Effects HodgeRank for Crowdsourced Preference Aggregation

no code implementations12 Jul 2016 Qianqian Xu, Jiechao Xiong, Xiaochun Cao, Yuan YAO

In crowdsourced preference aggregation, it is often assumed that all the annotators are subject to a common preference or utility function which generates their comparison behaviors in experiments.

False Discovery Rate Control and Statistical Quality Assessment of Annotators in Crowdsourced Ranking

Analysis of Crowdsourced Sampling Strategies for HodgeRank with Sparse Random Graphs

no code implementations28 Feb 2015 Braxton Osting, Jiechao Xiong, Qianqian Xu, Yuan YAO

In this setting, a pairwise comparison dataset is typically gathered via random sampling, either \emph{with} or \emph{without} replacement.

Robust Subjective Visual Property Prediction from Crowdsourced Pairwise Labels

no code implementations25 Jan 2015 Yanwei Fu, Timothy M. Hospedales, Tao Xiang, Jiechao Xiong, Shaogang Gong, Yizhou Wang, Yuan YAO

In this paper, we propose a more principled way to identify annotation outliers by formulating the subjective visual property prediction task as a unified robust learning to rank problem, tackling both the outlier detection and learning to rank jointly.

Sparse Recovery via Differential Inclusions

1 code implementation30 Jun 2014 Stanley Osher, Feng Ruan, Jiechao Xiong, Yuan YAO, Wotao Yin

In this paper, we recover sparse signals from their noisy linear measurements by solving nonlinear differential inclusions, which is based on the notion of inverse scale space (ISS) developed in applied mathematics.
