  • Publication number: 20240062070
    Abstract: Methods and systems for training a model include performing skill discovery, using a set of demonstrations that includes known-good demonstrations and noisy demonstrations, to generate a set of skills. A unidirectional skill embedding model is trained in a first training while parameters of a skill matching model and low-level policies that relate skills to actions are held constant. The unidirectional skill embedding model, the skill matching model, and the low-level policies are trained together in an end-to-end fashion in a second training.

  • Publication number: 20240061998
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for employing a time-series-to-text generation model to generate accurate description texts is provided. The method includes passing time series data through a time series encoder and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier to obtain predicted concept labels, converting the predicted concept labels, by a serializer, to a text token sequence by concatenating an aspect term and an option term of every aspect, inputting the text token sequence into a pretrained language model including a bidirectional encoder and an autoregressive decoder, and using adapter layers to fine-tune the pretrained language model to generate description texts.

  • Publication number: 20240005163
    Abstract: Methods and systems for responding to changing conditions include training a model, using a processor, using trajectories that resulted in a positive outcome and trajectories that resulted in a negative outcome. Training is performed using an adversarial discriminator to train the model to generate trajectories that are similar to historical trajectories that resulted in a positive outcome, and using a cooperative discriminator to train the model to generate trajectories that are dissimilar to historical trajectories that resulted in a negative outcome. A dynamic response regime is generated using the trained model and environment information. A response to changing environment conditions is performed in accordance with the dynamic response regime.
