Abs: How can we enable robots to efficiently reason both at discrete task-level and continuous motion-level to achieve high-level goals such as tidying up a room or constructing a building? This is a challenging problem that requires integrated reasoning about the combinatoric aspects, such as deciding which object to manipulate, and the feasibility of each motion, such as collision-free constraints, to achieve goals. The classical robotics approach is to design a planner, that, given an initial state, goal, and transition model, computes a plan. The advantage of such a pure-planning approach is the immense generalization capability: for any given state and goal, the planner will find the solution if there is one. The inherent drawback, however, is that the planners do not typically make use of planning experience, and compute a plan from scratch every time it encounters a new problem. For complex problems, this renders them extremely inefficient. Alternatively, we can take a pure-learning approach where you learn, from either reinforcement signals or demonstrations, a policy that maps a state to an action to execute. The advantage here is that computing the next action to execute becomes much cheaper than pure planning because it comes down to making a prediction from a function approximator. The drawback, however, is that it is brittle. If the policy encounters a state that is very different from the ones seen in the training set, then it is likely to make mistakes and might get into a situation where it would not know how to proceed. Our approach is to take the middle-ground between these two extremes to achieve the best of both worlds. More concretely, in this talk, I will introduce several algorithms that learn to guide a planner from planning experience.

Abs: The goal of video understanding is to develop algorithms that enable machines to understand videos at the level of human experts. Researchers have tackled various domains including video classification, search, personalized recommendation, and more. Thanks to the emergence of deep learning, video understanding ability of machines has been improved significantly during the last decade. Nevertheless, the models and algorithms we are currently using for video understanding are still relatively preliminary compared to other domains like images, sounds, or natural language. In this tutorial, we are going to go over the key ideas proposed during the last decade, mainly focusing on video classification and representation learning. If time permits, we may discuss recent trends of multimodal approaches as well.

Abs: Even though many AI-based methods have improved recently the performance of various computer vision tasks, the large scale of labeled data is essential for high performance. In this presentation, we will introduce several computer vision tasks to reduce the number of labeled data and utilize the unlabeled data, which includes visual tracking, domain adaptation, and active learning. The visual tracking task can utilize only one labeled data to track the target, but the tracker should be robust to the variance of target appearance. This robustness can be obtained by training the tracking results similar to the pseudo-labels. Thus, the visual trackers need the online training step, which results in a large computational time for visual tracking. To solve the problems, we propose several methods to reduce the computational costs of visual trackers to let them run in real-time. In addition, we also introduce our research on domain adaptation to improve the performance of image classification across various test environments. The domain adaptation improves the classification performance even though the label information of the test environment is not given when the training and test environments are different from each other. Thus, through the domain adaptation scheme, we can adapt the pre-trained AI network into the novel environment without any label cost. Finally, we introduce the active learning tasks, which select the best subset of the unlabeled samples to be labeled for the improved efficiency of labeling. A number of studies have improved the efficiency of labels, but many of them show the limitation that fails to select the effective samples in the unbalanced class dataset. To solve the limitation, we develop a novel derivation that works even in the unbalanced class dataset, which improves the real-world applicability of active learning algorithms.

Abs: As the size of large-scale electronic health records (EHR) grow, researchers are able to make clinical predictions, diagnoses, or recommendation with modern neural networks. The distinguishing property of EHR is its heterogenous multi-modality, but most deep learning approaches do not take full advantage of the multi-modal nature. In this tutorial, we will first briefly look at how to build basic medical prediction models based on EHR, then talk about Transformers, and how we can train machines to understand multi-modal EHR.

Abs: Deep learning inspired by differential equations have proliferated over the past couple of years, ranging from physics-informed neural networks to neural ordinary/controlled/rough differential equations. Many phenomena can be described by differential equations in the field of natural science, social science, finance, engineering, and so forth. In addition, deep neural network-based differential equations are now being used for various applications, such as image classification, recommendation, time-series forecasting, and so on. In those applications, implicit governing equations are approximated by neural networks. Therefore, the essential technology is how to extract (or train) those domain-specific implicit governing equations from data. In this tutorial, we will introduce technological backgrounds and successful applications in this line of research.
