Boundary-Aware Segmentation Network for Mobile and Web Applications

5 code implementations12 Jan 2021 Xuebin Qin, Deng-Ping Fan, Chenyang Huang, Cyril Diagne, Zichen Zhang, Adrià Cabeza Sant'Anna, Albert Suàrez, Martin Jagersand, Ling Shao

In this paper, we propose a simple yet powerful Boundary-Aware Segmentation Network (BASNet), which comprises a predict-refine architecture and a hybrid loss, for highly accurate image segmentation.

VIMA: General Robot Manipulation with Multimodal Prompts

2 code implementations6 Oct 2022 Yunfan Jiang, Agrim Gupta, Zichen Zhang, Guanzhi Wang, Yongqiang Dou, Yanjun Chen, Li Fei-Fei, Anima Anandkumar, Yuke Zhu, Linxi Fan

We show that a wide spectrum of robot manipulation tasks can be expressed with multimodal prompts, interleaving textual and visual tokens.

Incremental 3D Line Segment Extraction from Semi-dense SLAM

1 code implementation10 Aug 2017 Shida He, Xuebin Qin, Zichen Zhang, Martin Jagersand

This approach reduces a 3D line segment fitting problem into two 2D line segment fitting problems and takes advantage of both images and depth maps.

End-to-end detection-segmentation network with ROI convolution

1 code implementation8 Jan 2018 Zichen Zhang, Min Tang, Dana Cobzas, Dornoosh Zonoobi, Martin Jagersand, Jacob L. Jaremko

We propose an end-to-end neural network that improves the segmentation accuracy of fully convolutional networks by incorporating a localization unit.

A Simple Decentralized Cross-Entropy Method

1 code implementation16 Dec 2022 Zichen Zhang, Jun Jin, Martin Jagersand, Jun Luo, Dale Schuurmans

To tackle this issue, we propose Decentralized CEM (DecentCEM), a simple but effective improvement over classical CEM, by using an ensemble of CEM instances running independently from one another, and each performing a local improvement of its own sampling distribution.

Robot eye-hand coordination learning by watching human demonstrations: a task function approximation approach

1 code implementation29 Sep 2018 Jun Jin, Laura Petrich, Masood Dehghan, Zichen Zhang, Martin Jagersand

Our proposed method can directly learn from raw videos, which removes the need for hand-engineered task specification.

Reducing Selection Bias in Counterfactual Reasoning for Individual Treatment Effects Estimation

no code implementations19 Dec 2019 Zichen Zhang, Qingfeng Lan, Lei Ding, Yue Wang, Negar Hassanpour, Russell Greiner

We learn two groups of latent random variables, where one group corresponds to variables that only cause selection bias, and the other group is relevant for outcome prediction.

Sample Efficient Learning of Image-Based Diagnostic Classifiers Using Probabilistic Labels

no code implementations11 Feb 2021 Roberto Vega, Pouneh Gorji, Zichen Zhang, Xuebin Qin, Abhilash Rakkunedeth Hareendranathan, Jeevesh Kapur, Jacob L. Jaremko, Russell Greiner

This complicates its use in tasks like image-based medical diagnosis, where the small training datasets are usually insufficient to learn appropriate data representations.

Decentralized Cross-Entropy Method for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations29 Sep 2021 Zichen Zhang, Jun Jin, Martin Jagersand, Jun Luo, Dale Schuurmans

Further, we extend the decentralized approach to sequential decision-making problems where we show in 13 continuous control benchmark environments that it matches or outperforms the state-of-the-art CEM algorithms in most cases, under the same budget of the total number of samples for planning.

Drawing Inductor Layout with a Reinforcement Learning Agent: Method and Application for VCO Inductors

no code implementations23 Feb 2022 Cameron Haigh, Zichen Zhang, Negar Hassanpour, Khurram Javed, Yingying Fu, Shayan Shahramian, Shawn Zhang, Jun Luo

In light of the need to tweak the target specifications throughout the circuit design cycle, we also develop a variant in which the agent can learn to quickly adapt to draw new inductors for moderately different target specifications.

Streaming Traffic Flow Prediction Based on Continuous Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations24 Dec 2022 Yanan Xiao, Minyu Liu, Zichen Zhang, Lu Jiang, Minghao Yin, Jianan Wang

We propose to formulate the problem as a continuous reinforcement learning task, where the agent is the next flow value predictor, the action is the next time-series flow value in the sensor, and the environment state is a dynamically fused representation of the sensor and transportation network.

When Learning Is Out of Reach, Reset: Generalization in Autonomous Visuomotor Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations30 Mar 2023 Zichen Zhang, Luca Weihs

Finally, we find that our proposed approach can dramatically reduce the number of resets required for training other embodied tasks, in particular for RoboTHOR ObjectNav we obtain higher success rates than episodic approaches using 99. 97\% fewer resets.

Universal Visual Decomposer: Long-Horizon Manipulation Made Easy

no code implementations12 Oct 2023 Zichen Zhang, Yunshuang Li, Osbert Bastani, Abhishek Gupta, Dinesh Jayaraman, Yecheng Jason Ma, Luca Weihs

Learning long-horizon manipulation tasks, however, is a long-standing challenge, and demands decomposing the overarching task into several manageable subtasks to facilitate policy learning and generalization to unseen tasks.
