Observational and Interventional Causal Learning for Regret-Minimizing Control

We explore how observational and interventional causal discovery methods can be combined. A state-of-the-art observational causal discovery algorithm for time series capable of handling latent confounders and contemporaneous effects, called LPCMCI, is extended to profit from casual constraints found through randomized control trials. Numerical results show that, given perfect interventional constraints, the reconstructed structural causal models (SCMs) of the extended LPCMCI allow 84.6% of the time for the optimal prediction of the target variable. The implementation of interventional and observational causal discovery is modular, allowing causal constraints from other sources. The second part of this thesis investigates the question of regret minimizing control by simultaneously learning a causal model and planning actions through the causal model. The idea is that an agent to optimize a measured variable first learns the system's mechanics through observational causal discovery. The agent then intervenes on the most promising variable with randomized values allowing for the exploitation and generation of new interventional data. The agent then uses the interventional data to enhance the causal model further, allowing improved actions the next time. The extended LPCMCI can be favorable compared to the original LPCMCI algorithm. The numerical results show that detecting and using interventional constraints leads to reconstructed SCMs that allow 60.9% of the time for the optimal prediction of the target variable in contrast to the baseline of 53.6% when using the original LPCMCI algorithm. Furthermore, the induced average regret decreases from 1.2 when using the original LPCMCI algorithm to 1.0 when using the extended LPCMCI algorithm with interventional discovery.
Ultrabright Sagnac-type source of non-degenerate polarization-entangled photon pairs using only off-the-shelf optical components

We develop a Sagnac-type source of ultrabright, non-degenerate, polarization-entangled photon pair that is highly stable and compact simultaneously. We use a $20~\text{mm}$ long PPLN bulk crystal which, upon pumping continuously with $532~\text{nm}$ wavelength, produces polarization-entangled photon-pairs of $785~\text{nm}$ signal and $1651~\text{nm}$ idler wavelengths via the type-0 spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) process. All optical components used in the setup are off-the-shelf components, readily available commercially; hence, no custom-designed or costly multi-wavelength polarization optics are required. At the same time, long-term phase stability is achieved without any additional active stabilization; due to the geometry of our Sagnac-type design. We also report one of the highest brightness of non-degenerate polarization-entangled photon pairs available in the literature. Even with a very low pump power of $0.034~\text{mW}$, we detect a coincidence rate of $(6.96\pm 0.03)\times10^{4}$ entangled pairs/sec/mW (averaged over three polarization-basis measurements: H/V, D/A, and R/L basis). The source's brightness is calculated to be $(6.17\pm 0.04)\times10^{6}$ entangled pairs/sec/mW for the signal line width of $0.4~\text{nm}$. From the raw coincidence counts (without any background coincidence correction), the fidelity of the entangled state is measured to be $(96.72\pm 0.01)\%$ with a concurrence of $(94.68\pm 0.20)\%$. Bell-CHSH inequality violation is reported as $S=2.71\pm 0.06$.
Smart university implementation in higher education to improve the graduates’ competitiveness

This research aimed to implement a smart university to optimize the three higher education principles aka Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Education Dharma, Research Dharma, and Community Service Dharma). A strategic step that can be taken is to apply digitalization to increase the selling value of universities in the education industry and increase the usefulness of the satisfaction of lecturers and students. The research is exploratory qualitative using interviews, observations, and literature studies as data collection techniques. The sampling method used was non-probability sampling (purposive sampling). The findings show that several supporting factors that influence the optimization of the three principles of higher education are the flexibility of the workplace and time, as well as the use of information technology which is easier to use and has high accessibility. Facilities and infrastructure are supporting elements. The hardware and software infrastructure condition in universities is still inadequate to support a quality learning process. Universities need to improve the performance of educators and education staff.
PEANUT: Predicting and Navigating to Unseen Targets

Efficient ObjectGoal navigation (ObjectNav) in novel environments requires an understanding of the spatial and semantic regularities in environment layouts. In this work, we present a straightforward method for learning these regularities by predicting the locations of unobserved objects from incomplete semantic maps. Our method differs from previous prediction-based navigation methods, such as frontier potential prediction or egocentric map completion, by directly predicting unseen targets while leveraging the global context from all previously explored areas. Our prediction model is lightweight and can be trained in a supervised manner using a relatively small amount of passively collected data. Once trained, the model can be incorporated into a modular pipeline for ObjectNav without the need for any reinforcement learning. We validate the effectiveness of our method on the HM3D and MP3D ObjectNav datasets. We find that it achieves the state-of-the-art on both datasets, despite not using any additional data for training.
Meta-Learning Fast Weight Language Models

Dynamic evaluation of language models (LMs) adapts model parameters at test time using gradient information from previous tokens and substantially improves LM performance. However, it requires over 3x more compute than standard inference. We present Fast Weight Layers (FWLs), a neural component that provides the benefits of dynamic evaluation much more efficiently by expressing gradient updates as linear attention. A key improvement over dynamic evaluation is that FWLs can also be applied at training time so the model learns to make good use of gradient updates. FWLs can easily be added on top of existing transformer models, require relatively little extra compute or memory to run, and significantly improve language modeling perplexity.

Graphical Gaussian Models Associated to a Homogeneous Graph with Permutation Symmetries

We consider multivariate-centered Gaussian models for the random vector (Z1,&hellip;,Zp), whose conditional structure is described by a homogeneous graph and which is invariant under the action of a permutation subgroup. The following paper is concerned with model selection within colored graphical Gaussian models, when the underlying conditional dependency graph is known. We derive an analytic expression of the normalizing constant of the Diaconis&ndash;Ylvisaker conjugate prior for the precision parameter and perform Bayesian model selection in the class of graphical Gaussian models invariant by the action of a permutation subgroup. We illustrate our results with a toy example of dimension 5.

A Study on the Reform Path of College English Teaching in the Context of New Liberal Arts

College English is not only an important way for students to acquire basic English knowledge and professional skills, but also a necessary path for internationalization in the future. With the popularization of higher education, college English teaching has made remarkable achievements and cultivated many skilled talents of high-level English majors. However, due to the simplification of teaching objectives, the traditionalism of teaching mode, the low attention of students and the low degree of specialization of teaching subjects, college English teaching urgently needs teaching reform, which should meet the needs of contemporary economic and social development and the employment needs of enterprises. Therefore, this paper suggests that college English teaching reform should be carried out from the aspects of enriching teaching objectives, changing teaching ideas, optimizing teaching materials, and adopting diversified evaluation methods, in an attempt to help teachers and students get a feasible way to better meet the needs of national development.

Early Guessing of Performance Using Simulation as Part of Service Development

In Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), the key problem is the quick and accurate evaluation of web service performance. Despite the fact that the integration of the simulation step into the development cycle of softwares/web services can allow to learn early the behavior of the performance of software/web service, it is still a challenge to use simulation as part of service development. This integration can be used to assess the performance of a family of web services by developing one of them. In this paper, we propose a methodology that shows how the simulation step can be integrated to the development cycle of a family of services using a model-based approach to describe the services and by choosing a reference web service to be developed and used to guess the performance of the remaining services in the family.
