Abstract: A video processing system configured to analyze a sequence of video frames to detect objects in the video frames and provide information relating to the detected objects in response to a query. The query may comprise, for example, a request for a prediction of a future event, or of the location of an object, or a request for a prediction of what would happen if an object were modified. The system uses a transformer neural network subsystem to process representations of objects in the video.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a speaker neural network using one or more listener neural networks.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for controlling an agent. One of the methods includes sampling a behavior modulation in accordance with a current probability distribution; for each of one or more time steps: processing an input comprising an observation characterizing a current state of the environment at the time step using an action selection neural network to generate a respective action score for each action in a set of possible actions that can be performed by the agent; modifying the action scores using the sampled behavior modulation; and selecting the action to be performed by the agent at the time step based on the modified action scores; determining a fitness measure corresponding to the sampled behavior modulation; and updating the current probability distribution over the set of possible behavior modulations using the fitness measure corresponding to the behavior modulation.
