Explorative Imitation Learning: A Path Signature Approach for Continuous Environments

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.04856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Some imitation learning methods combine behavioural cloning with self-supervision to infer actions from state pairs. However, most rely on a large number of expert trajectories to increase generalisation and human intervention to capture key aspects of the problem, such as domain constraints. In this paper, we propose Continuous Imitation Learning from Observation (CILO), a new method augmenting imitation learning with two important features: (i) exploration, allowing for more diverse state transitions, requiring less expert trajectories and resulting in fewer training iterations; and (ii) path signatures, allowing for automatic encoding of constraints, through the creation of…

A genetic algorithm for phononic crystals

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Researchers tested phononic nanomaterials designed with an automated genetic algorithm that responded to light pulses with controlled vibrations. This work may help in the development of next-generation sensors and computer devices. The advent of quantum computers promises to revolutionize computing by solving complex problems exponentially more rapidly than classical computers. However, today's quantum computers face challenges such as maintaining stability and transporting quantum information. Phonons, which are quantized vibrations in periodic lattices, offer new ways to improve these systems by enhancing qubit interactions and providing more reliable information conversion. Phonons also facilitate better communication within quantum computers, allowing the interconnection…

MJ-Bench: Is Your Multimodal Reward Model Really a Good Judge for Text-to-Image Generation?

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.04842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While text-to-image models like DALLE-3 and Stable Diffusion are rapidly proliferating, they often encounter challenges such as hallucination, bias, and the production of unsafe, low-quality output. To effectively address these issues, it is crucial to align these models with desired behaviors based on feedback from a multimodal judge. Despite their significance, current multimodal judges frequently undergo inadequate evaluation of their capabilities and limitations, potentially leading to misalignment and unsafe fine-tuning outcomes. To address this issue, we introduce MJ-Bench, a novel benchmark which incorporates a comprehensive preference dataset to evaluate multimodal judges in providing feedback for…

Automating Venture Capital: Founder assessment using LLM-powered segmentation, feature engineering and automated labeling techniques

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.04885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study explores the application of large language models (LLMs) in venture capital (VC) decision-making, focusing on predicting startup success based on founder characteristics. We utilize LLM prompting techniques, like chain-of-thought, to generate features from limited data, then extract insights through statistics and machine learning. Our results reveal potential relationships between certain founder characteristics and success, as well as demonstrate the effectiveness of these characteristics in prediction. This framework for integrating ML techniques and LLMs has vast potential for improving startup success prediction, with important implications for VC firms seeking to optimize their investment strategies.…

Logitech G launches a new $80 gaming mouse

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , ,
Logitech G has a new toy for gamers to try out. The brand — which is the gaming arm of Logitech — has released the G309 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse for $80 in black and white. The mouse is Powerplay compatible, meaning you can use it without an AA battery if you also own the Logitech G PowerPlay Wireless Charging System.The new mouse also has Logitech's Hero 25K sensor, which provides exceptional accuracy while being power-efficient. It offers 400 IPS with a sensitivity of up to 25,600 DPI. Plus, without a battery, it weighs just over one-tenth of a pound…
