RTj: a Java framework for detecting and refactoring rotten green test cases

Matias Martinez, Anne Etien, Stéphane Ducasse +1

Rotten green tests are passing tests which have, at least, one assertion not executed. They give developers a false confidence. In this paper, we present, RTj, a framework that ana…

Solving Bernoulli Rank-One Bandits with Unimodal Thompson Sampling

Cindy Trinh, Emilie Kaufmann, Claire Vernade +1

Stochastic Rank-One Bandits (Katarya et al, (2017a,b)) are a simple framework for regret minimization problems over rank-one matrices of arms. The initially proposed algorithms are…

A quasi-linear irreducibility test in K[[x]][y]

Adrien Poteaux, Martin Weimann

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the discriminant valuation, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and…

Fixed-Confidence Guarantees for Bayesian Best-Arm Identification

Xuedong Shang, Rianne de Heide, Emilie Kaufmann +2

We investigate and provide new insights on the sampling rule called Top-Two Thompson Sampling (TTTS). In particular, we justify its use for fixed-confidence best-arm identification…

Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Exploiting State-Action Equivalence

Mahsa Asadi, Mohammad Sadegh Talebi, Hippolyte Bourel +1

Leveraging an equivalence property in the state-space of a Markov Decision Process (MDP) has been investigated in several studies. This paper studies equivalence structure in the r…

HIGhER : Improving instruction following with Hindsight Generation for Experience Replay

Geoffrey Cideron, Mathieu Seurin, Florian Strub +1

Language creates a compact representation of the world and allows the description of unlimited situations and objectives through compositionality. While these characterizations may…

(Co)inductive Proof Systems for Compositional Proofs in Reachability Logic

Vlad Rusu, David Nowak

Reachability Logic is a formalism that can be used, among others, for expressing partial-correctness properties of transition systems. In this paper we present three proof systems…

MERL: Multi-Head Reinforcement Learning

Yannis Flet-Berliac, Philippe Preux

A common challenge in reinforcement learning is how to convert the agent's interactions with an environment into fast and robust learning. For instance, earlier work makes use of d…

Sparse Coding of Shape Trajectories for Facial Expression and Action Recognition

Amor Ben Tanfous, Hassen Drira, Boulbaba Ben Amor

The detection and tracking of human landmarks in video streams has gained in reliability partly due to the availability of affordable RGB-D sensors. The analysis of such time-varyi…

SPOCC: Scalable POssibilistic Classifier Combination -- toward robust aggregation of classifiers

Mahmoud Albardan, John Klein, Olivier Colot

We investigate a problem in which each member of a group of learners is trained separately to solve the same classification task. Each learner has access to a training dataset (pos…

Feature-Model-Guided Online Learning for Self-Adaptive Systems

Andreas Metzger, Clément Quinton, Zoltán Ádám Mann +2

A self-adaptive system can modify its own structure and behavior at runtime based on its perception of the environment, of itself and of its requirements. To develop a self-adaptiv…

Dynamic Facial Expression Generation on Hilbert Hypersphere with Conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Nets

Naima Otberdout, Mohamed Daoudi, Anis Kacem +2

In this work, we propose a novel approach for generating videos of the six basic facial expressions given a neutral face image. We propose to exploit the face geometry by modeling…

Reasoning about disclosure in data integration in the presence of source constraints

Michael Benedikt, Pierre Bourhis, Louis Jachiet +1

Data integration systems allow users to access data sitting in multiple sources by means of queries over a global schema, related to the sources via mappings. Data sources often co…

Bayesian Optimization using Deep Gaussian Processes

Ali Hebbal, Loic Brevault, Mathieu Balesdent +2

Bayesian Optimization using Gaussian Processes is a popular approach to deal with the optimization of expensive black-box functions. However, because of the a priori on the station…

Learning Multiple Markov Chains via Adaptive Allocation

Mohammad Sadegh Talebi, Odalric-Ambrym Maillard

We study the problem of learning the transition matrices of a set of Markov chains from a single stream of observations on each chain. We assume that the Markov chains are ergodic…
