  • Patent number: 11597394
    Abstract: In general, the disclosure describes various aspects of techniques for evaluating decisions determined by autonomous devices. A device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques.

  • Patent number: 11568246
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for training a machine learning model to perform actions within an environment. In one example, an input device receives a declarative statement. A computation engine selects, based on the declarative statement, a template that includes a template action performable within the environment. The computation engine generates, based on the template, synthetic training episodes. The computation engine further generates experiential training episodes, each experiential training episode collected by a machine learning model from past actions performed by the machine learning model. Each synthetic training episode and experiential training episode comprises an action and a reward. A machine learning system trains, with the synthetic training episodes and the experiential training episodes, the machine learning model to perform the actions within the environment.

  • Patent number: 10984027
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques can generate content object summaries. Content of a content object can be parsed into a set of word groups. For each word group, at least one topic to which the word group pertains can be identified and it can be determined, via a user model, at least one weight of the plurality of weights corresponding to the topic(s). For each word group, a score can be determined for the word group based on the weight(s). A subset of the set of word groups can be selected based on the scores for the word group. A summary of the content object can be generated that includes the subset but that does not include one or more other word groups in the set of word groups that are not in the subset. At least part of the summary of the content object can be output.

  • Publication number: 20200320435
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for applying a multi-level introspection framework to interaction data characterizing a history of interaction of a reinforcement learning agent with an environment. The framework may apply statistical analysis and machine learning methods to interaction data collected during the RL agent's interaction with the environment. The framework may include a first (“environment”) level that analyzes characteristics of one or more tasks to be solved by the RL agent to generate elements, a second (“interaction”) level that analyzes actions of the RL agent when interacting with the environment to generate elements, and a third (“meta-analysis”) level that generates elements by analyzing combinations of elements generated by the first level and elements generated by the second level.
