Question: We develop a probabilistic latent-variable model to discover semantic frames—types of events and their participants—from corpora. We present a Dirichlet-multinomial model in which frames are latent categories that explain the linking of verb-subject-object triples, given document-level sparsity. We analyze what the model learns, and compare it to FrameNet, noting it learns some novel and interesting frames. This document also contains a discussion of inference issues, including concentration parameter learning; and a small-scale error analysis of syntactic parsing accuracy. Note: this work was originally posted online October 2012 as part of CMU MLD’s Data Analysis Project requirement. This version has no new experiments or results, but has added some discussion of new related work.

Answer: Learning Frames from Text with an Unsupervised Latent Variable Model


Question: This paper investigates stochastic and adversarial combinatorial multi-armed bandit problems. In the stochastic setting, we first derive problem-specific regret lower bounds, and analyze how these bounds scale with the dimension of the decision space. We then propose COMBUCB, algorithms that efficiently exploit the combinatorial structure of the problem, and derive finite-time upper bound on their regrets. These bounds improve over regret upper bounds of existing algorithms, and we show numerically thatCOMBUCB significantly outperforms any other algorithm. In the adversarial setting, we propose two simple algorithms, namely COMBEXP-1 and COMBEXP-2 for semi-bandit and bandit feedback, respectively. Their regrets have similar scaling as state-of-the-art algorithms, in spite of the simplicity of their implementation.

Answer: Stochastic and Adversarial Combinatorial Bandits


Question: The problem of scheduling under resource constraints is widely applicable. One prominent example is power management, in which we have a limited continuous supply of power but must schedule a number of power-consuming tasks. Such problems feature tightly coupled continuous resource constraints and continuous temporal constraints. We address such problems by introducing the Time Resource Network (TRN), an encoding for resource-constrained scheduling problems. The definition allows temporal specifications using a general family of representations derived from the Simple Temporal network, including the Simple Temporal Network with Uncertainty, and the probabilistic Simple Temporal Network (Fang et al. (2014)). We propose two algorithms for determining the consistency of a TRN: one based on Mixed Integer Programing and the other one based on Constraint Programming, which we evaluate on scheduling problems with Simple Temporal Constraints and Probabilistic Temporal Constraints.

Answer:
Time Resource Networks
