  • Publication number: 20230376749
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for using inverse reinforcement learning to learn constraints from expert demonstrations are disclosed. The constraints may be learned as a constraint function in two alternating procedures, namely policy optimization and constraint function optimization. Neural network constraint functions may be learned which can represent arbitrary constraints. Embodiments are disclosed that work in all types of environments, with either discrete or continuous state and action spaces. Embodiments are disclosed that may scale to a large set of demonstrations. Embodiments are disclosed that work with any forward CRL technique when finding the optimal policy.

  • Patent number: 11629392
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a TiCB—Al seed alloy, a manufacturing method thereof and a heritable aluminum alloy. The TiCB—Al seed alloy includes an Al matrix and TiCB@TiBC seed crystals dispersed on the Al matrix, wherein the TiCB@TiBC seed crystal comprises a core part and a shell part, the core part contains B-doped TiCB, and the shell part covers at least a part of the core part and contains a TiBC ternary phase, wherein the B-doped TiCB refers to a TiCB phase formed by B atoms occupying C vacancies in a TiCx crystal, and the TiBC ternary phase refers to a ternary phase composed of Ti, B and C, wherein x<1.
