  • Patent number: 12017148
    Abstract: A user interface (UI), for analyzing model training runs, tracking and visualizing various aspects of machine learning experiments, can be used when training an artificial intelligent agent in, for example, a racing game environment. The UI can be web-based and can allow researchers to easily see the status of their experiments. The UI can include an experiment synchronized event viewer that can synchronizes visualizations, videos, and timeline/metrics graphs in the experiment. This viewer allows researchers to see how experiments unfold in great detail. The UI can further include experiment event annotations that can generate event annotations. These annotations can be displayed via the synchronized event viewer. The UI can be used to consider consolidated results across experiments and can further consider videos. For example, the UI can provide a reusable dashboard that can capture and compare metrics across multiple experiments.

  • Publication number: 20230368041
    Abstract: Experience replay (ER) is an important component of many deep reinforcement learning (RL) systems. However, uniform sampling from an ER buffer can lead to slow convergence and unstable asymptotic behaviors. Stratified Sampling from Event Tables (SSET), which partitions an ER buffer into Event Tables, each capturing important subsequences of optimal behavior. A theoretical advantage is proven over the traditional monolithic buffer approach and the combination of SSET with an existing prioritized sampling strategy can further improve learning speed and stability. Empirical results in challenging MiniGrid domains, benchmark RL environments, and a high-fidelity car racing simulator demonstrate the advantages and versatility of SSET over existing ER buffer sampling approaches.

  • Publication number: 20180376213
    Abstract: A client device interacts with an interface device to provide an identifier for multimedia content control. The identifier received from the client device is then associated with a multimedia device. The client device transmits commands associated with multimedia content access and/or controls that are then forwarded 5 to the multimedia device, making the client device compatible, for multimedia control, with the multimedia device. Multimedia control commands are executed in the multimedia device based at least partially on commands from the client device.

  • Publication number: 20150058745
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of binding a human machine interface to an expression of existing computer code may include analyzing the existing computer code to identify one or more bindable expressions in the existing computer code, and receiving a command to bind a human machine interface with one or more of the identified bindable expressions. The method may further include binding, using a processor, one or more of the bindable expressions with the human machine interface in response to the command. The binding may enable the human machine interface to communicate information within the existing computer code in place of the one or more bound expressions. The bound machine interface may communicate information within the computer code while the computer code is executing.
