Abstract: A technique for solving combinatorial problems, such as vehicle routing for multiple vehicles integrates evolutionary algorithms and reinforcement learning. A genetic algorithm maintains a set of solutions for the problem and improves the solutions using mutation (modify a solution) and crossover (combine two solutions). The best solution is selected from the improved set of solutions. A system that integrates evolutionary algorithms, such as a genetic algorithm, and reinforcement learning comprises two components. A first component is a beam search technique for generating solutions using a reinforcement learning model. A second component augments a genetic algorithm using learning-based solutions that are generated by the reinforcement learning model. The learning-based solutions improve the diversity of the set which, in turn, improves the quality of the solutions computed by the genetic algorithm.

Abstract: A network monitor may execute, or communicate with, one or more stored machine learning models that are trained to predict a failure probability for one or more ports and/or links within a network fabric. Systems and methods may monitor a set of ports and/or links to generate predictions for failure probabilities using a first trained model and low frequency telemetry data. For a subset of ports and/or links with failure probabilities exceeding a first threshold, high speed telemetry data may be used by a second trained model to generate predictions for failure probabilities for the subset of ports. Suspicious ports may then be isolated and undergo various remediation and/or monitoring actions prior to de-isolating the isolated ports.

Abstract: A conditional adversarial latent model (CALM) process can be used to generate reference motions from a set of original reference movements to create a library of new movements for an agent. The agent can be a virtual representation various types of characters, animals, or objects. The CALM process can receive a set of reference movements and a requested movement. An encoder can be used to map the requested movement onto a latent space. A low-level policy can be employed to produce a series of latent space joint movements for the agent. A conditional discriminator can be used to provide feedback to the low-level policy to produce stationary distributions over the states of the agent. A high-level policy can be employed to provide a macro movement control over the low-level policy movements, such as providing direction in the environment. The high-level policy can utilize a reward or a finite-state machine function.

Abstract: In various examples, a motion planner include an analytical function to predict motion plans for a machine based on predicted trajectories of actors in an environment, where the predictions are differentiable with respect to parameters of a neural network of a motion predictor used to predict the trajectories. The analytical function may be used to determine candidate trajectories for the machine based on a predicted trajectory, to compute cost values for the candidate trajectories, and to select a reference trajectory from the candidate trajectories. For differentiability, a term of the analytical function may correspond to the predicted trajectory. A motion controller may use the reference trajectory to predict a control sequence for the machine using an analytical function trained to generate predictions that are differentiable with respect to at least one parameter of the analytical function used to compute the cost values.

Abstract: Introduced herein is a technique that uses ML to autonomously find a cache management policy that achieves an optimal execution of a given workload of an application. Leveraging ML such as reinforcement learning, the technique trains an agent in an ML environment over multiple episodes of a stabilization process. For each time step in these training episodes, the agent executes the application while making an incremental change to the current policy, i.e., cache-residency statuses of memory address space associated with the workload, until the application can be executed at a stable level. The stable level of execution, for example, can be indicated by performance variations, such as standard deviations, between a certain number of neighboring measurement periods remaining within a certain threshold. The agent, who has been trained in the training episodes, infers the final cache management policy during the final, inferring episode.
