Neural Graph Evolution: Towards Efficient Automatic Robot Design

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Despite the recent successes in robotic locomotion control, the design of robot relies heavily on human engineering. Automatic robot design has been a long studied subject, but the recent progress has been slowed due to …

Skip-Thought Vectors

2015 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We describe an approach for unsupervised learning of a generic, distributed sentence encoder. Using the continuity of text from books, we train an encoder-decoder model that tries to reconstruct the surrounding sentences of an encoded …

Efficient Summarization with Read-Again and Copy Mechanism

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Encoder-decoder models have been widely used to solve sequence to sequence prediction tasks. However current approaches suffer from two shortcomings. First, the encoders compute a representation of each word taking into account only the history …

VirtualHome: Simulating Household Activities Via Programs

2018

In this paper, we are interested in modeling complex activities that occur in a typical household. We propose to use programs, i.e., sequences of atomic actions and interactions, as a high level representation of complex …
