Logic-based AI for Interpretable Board Game Winner Prediction with Tsetlin Machine
Hex is a turn-based two-player connection game with a high branching factor, making the game arbitrarily complex with increasing board sizes.
Fast and Data Efficient Reinforcement Learning from Pixels via Non-Parametric Value Approximation
We present Nonparametric Approximation of Inter-Trace returns (NAIT), a Reinforcement Learning algorithm for discrete action, pixel-based environments that is both highly sample and computation efficient.

Reliably Re-Acting to Partner's Actions with the Social Intrinsic Motivation of Transfer Empowerment
We consider multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for cooperative communication and coordination tasks.
Leveraging class abstraction for commonsense reinforcement learning via residual policy gradient methods
Enabling reinforcement learning (RL) agents to leverage a knowledge base while learning from experience promises to advance RL in knowledge intensive domains.
Multi-Agent MDP Homomorphic Networks
This paper introduces Multi-Agent MDP Homomorphic Networks, a class of networks that allows distributed execution using only local information, yet is able to share experience between global symmetries in the joint state-action space of cooperative multi-agent systems.
Value Refinement Network (VRN)
Combining the benefits of planning and learning values, we propose the Value Refinement Network (VRN), an architecture that locally refines a plan in a (simpler) state space abstraction, represented by a pre-computed value function, with respect to the full agent state.
Hierarchies of Planning and Reinforcement Learning for Robot Navigation
In simulated robotic navigation tasks, VI-RL results in consistent strong improvement over vanilla RL, is on par with vanilla hierarchal RL on single layouts but more broadly applicable to multiple layouts, and is on par with trainable HL path planning baselines except for a parking task with difficult non-holonomic dynamics where it shows marked improvements.
A Survey of Exploration Methods in Reinforcement Learning
Exploration is an essential component of reinforcement learning algorithms, where agents need to learn how to predict and control unknown and often stochastic environments.

Deep Policy Dynamic Programming for Vehicle Routing Problems
Routing problems are a class of combinatorial problems with many practical applications.
Model-based Meta Reinforcement Learning using Graph Structured Surrogate Models
Reinforcement learning is a promising paradigm for solving sequential decision-making problems, but low data efficiency and weak generalization across tasks are bottlenecks in real-world applications.
Deep Coherent Exploration For Continuous Control
In policy search methods for reinforcement learning (RL), exploration is often performed by injecting noise either in action space at each step independently or in parameter space over each full trajectory.
Experimental design for MRI by greedy policy search
In today's clinical practice, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely accelerated through subsampling of the associated Fourier domain.

MDP Homomorphic Networks: Group Symmetries in Reinforcement Learning
MDP homomorphic networks are neural networks that are equivariant under symmetries in the joint state-action space of an MDP.
Social Navigation with Human Empowerment driven Deep Reinforcement Learning
In contrast to self-empowerment, a robot employing our approach strives for the empowerment of people in its environment, so they are not disturbed by the robot's presence and motion.
Estimating Gradients for Discrete Random Variables by Sampling without Replacement
We derive an unbiased estimator for expectations over discrete random variables based on sampling without replacement, which reduces variance as it avoids duplicate samples.
Unifying Variational Inference and PAC-Bayes for Supervised Learning that Scales
PAC Bayes is a generalized framework which is more resistant to overfitting and that yields performance bounds that hold with arbitrarily high probability even on the unjustified extrapolations.

In this paper, we present a search algorithm that generates efficient trajectories that optimize the rate at which probability mass is covered by a searcher.

We show how to implicitly apply this 'Gumbel-Top-$k$' trick on a factorized distribution over sequences, allowing to draw exact samples without replacement using a Stochastic Beam Search.
Uncertainty Aware Learning from Demonstrations in Multiple Contexts using Bayesian Neural Networks
Learned controllers such as neural networks typically do not have a notion of uncertainty that allows to diagnose an offset between training and testing conditions, and potentially intervene.

Attention, Learn to Solve Routing Problems!
The recently presented idea to learn heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems is promising as it can save costly development.
Addressing Function Approximation Error in Actor-Critic Methods
In value-based reinforcement learning methods such as deep Q-learning, function approximation errors are known to lead to overestimated value estimates and suboptimal policies.

Policy Search with High-Dimensional Context Variables
A naive application of unsupervised dimensionality reduction methods to the context variables, such as principal component analysis, is insufficient as task-relevant input may be ignored.
