Fdez-Vidal, Roberto Iglesias","doi":"10.1007/s10489-024-06190-7","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10489-024-06190-7","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>In many reinforcement learning (RL) tasks, the state-action space may be subject to changes over time (e.g., increased number of observable features, changes of representation of actions). Given these changes, the previously learnt policy will likely fail due to the mismatch of input and output features, and another policy must be trained from scratch, which is inefficient in terms of <i>sample complexity</i>. Recent works in transfer learning have succeeded in making RL algorithms more efficient by incorporating knowledge from previous tasks, thus partially alleviating this problem. However, such methods typically must provide an explicit state-action correspondence of one task into the other. An autonomous agent may not have access to such high-level information, but should be able to analyze its experience to identify similarities between tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel method for automatically learning a correspondence of states and actions from one task to another through an agent’s experience. In contrast to previous approaches, our method is based on two key insights: i) only the first state of the trajectories of the two tasks is <i>paired</i>, while the rest are <i>unpaired</i> and randomly collected, and ii) the transition model of the source task is used to predict the dynamics of the target task, thus aligning the <i>unpaired</i> states and actions. Additionally, this paper intentionally decouples the learning of the state-action corresponce from the transfer technique used, making it easy to combine with any transfer method. Our experiments demonstrate that our approach significantly accelerates transfer learning across a diverse set of problems, varying in state/action representation, physics parameters, and morphology, when compared to state-of-the-art algorithms that rely on cycle-consistency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current models face challenges with numerous intent categories, slot types, and domain classifications, alongside a shortage of well-annotated datasets, particularly in Chinese. Therefore, we propose a domain-aware model with multi-perspective, multi-positive contrastive learning. First, we adopt a self-supervised contrastive learning with multiple perspectives and multiple positive instances, which is capable of spacing the vectors of positive and negative instances from the domain, intent, and slot perspectives, and fusing more positive instance information to increase the classification effectiveness of the model. Our proposed domain-aware model defines domain-level units at the decoding layer, allowing the model to predict intent and slot information based on domain features, which greatly reduces the search space for intent and slot. In addition, we design a dual-stage attention mechanism for capturing implicitly shared information between intents and slots. We propose a data augmentation method that adds noise to the embedding layer, applies fine-grained augmentation techniques, and filters biased samples based on a similarity threshold. Our model is applied to real task-oriented dialogue systems and compared with other NLU models. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms other models in terms of NLU performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
