Multi-task Learning and Catastrophic Forgetting in Continual Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation22 Sep 2019 João Ribeiro, Francisco S. Melo, João Dias

The first hypothesis is driven by the question of whether a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, trained on two similar tasks, is able to outperform two single-task, individually trained algorithms, by more efficiently learning a new, similar task, that none of the three algorithms has encountered before.

AC-DC: Amplification Curve Diagnostics for Covid-19 Group Testing

no code implementations10 Nov 2020 Ryan Gabrys, Srilakshmi Pattabiraman, Vishal Rana, João Ribeiro, Mahdi Cheraghchi, Venkatesan Guruswami, Olgica Milenkovic

The first part of the paper presents a review of the gold-standard testing protocol for Covid-19, real-time, reverse transcriptase PCR, and its properties and associated measurement data such as amplification curves that can guide the development of appropriate and accurate adaptive group testing protocols.

Mean-Based Trace Reconstruction over Oblivious Synchronization Channels

no code implementations18 Feb 2021 Mahdi Cheraghchi, Joseph Downs, João Ribeiro, Alexandra Veliche

It is known that $\exp(O(n^{1/3}))$ traces are necessary and sufficient for mean-based worst-case trace reconstruction over the deletion channel, and this result was also extended to certain channels combining deletions and geometric insertions of uniformly random bits.
