Speak, Read and Prompt: High-Fidelity Text-to-Speech with Minimal Supervision
Eugene Kharitonov, Damien Vincent, Zalán Borsos +6
We introduce SPEAR-TTS, a multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) system that can be trained with minimal supervision. By combining two types of discrete speech representations, we cast…
AudioLM: a Language Modeling Approach to Audio Generation
Zalán Borsos, Raphaël Marinier, Damien Vincent +8
We introduce AudioLM, a framework for high-quality audio generation with long-term consistency. AudioLM maps the input audio to a sequence of discrete tokens and casts audio genera…
RLDS: an Ecosystem to Generate, Share and Use Datasets in Reinforcement Learning
Sabela Ramos, Sertan Girgin, Léonard Hussenot +9
We introduce RLDS (Reinforcement Learning Datasets), an ecosystem for recording, replaying, manipulating, annotating and sharing data in the context of Sequential Decision Making (…
Continuous Control with Action Quantization from Demonstrations
Robert Dadashi, Léonard Hussenot, Damien Vincent +4
In this paper, we propose a novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework for problems with continuous action spaces: Action Quantization from Demonstrations (AQuaDem). The proposed…
What Matters for Adversarial Imitation Learning?
Manu Orsini, Anton Raichuk, Léonard Hussenot +7
Adversarial imitation learning has become a popular framework for imitation in continuous control. Over the years, several variations of its components were proposed to enhance the…
Hyperparameter Selection for Imitation Learning
Leonard Hussenot, Marcin Andrychowicz, Damien Vincent +11
We address the issue of tuning hyperparameters (HPs) for imitation learning algorithms in the context of continuous-control, when the underlying reward function of the demonstratin…
Google Research Football: A Novel Reinforcement Learning Environment
Karol Kurach, Anton Raichuk, Piotr Stańczyk +8
Recent progress in the field of reinforcement learning has been accelerated by virtual learning environments such as video games, where novel algorithms and ideas can be quickly te…
MULEX: Disentangling Exploitation from Exploration in Deep RL
Lucas Beyer, Damien Vincent, Olivier Teboul +3
An agent learning through interactions should balance its action selection process between probing the environment to discover new rewards and using the information acquired in the…
Adaptive Temporal-Difference Learning for Policy Evaluation with Per-State Uncertainty Estimates
Hugo Penedones, Carlos Riquelme, Damien Vincent +5
We consider the core reinforcement-learning problem of on-policy value function approximation from a batch of trajectory data, and focus on various issues of Temporal Difference (T…
Episodic Curiosity through Reachability
Nikolay Savinov, Anton Raichuk, Raphaël Marinier +4
Rewards are sparse in the real world and most of today's reinforcement learning algorithms struggle with such sparsity. One solution to this problem is to allow the agent to create…
Temporal Difference Learning with Neural Networks - Study of the Leakage Propagation Problem
Hugo Penedones, Damien Vincent, Hartmut Maennel +3
Temporal-Difference learning (TD) [Sutton, 1988] with function approximation can converge to solutions that are worse than those obtained by Monte-Carlo regression, even in the sim…
Competitive Training of Mixtures of Independent Deep Generative Models
Francesco Locatello, Damien Vincent, Ilya Tolstikhin +3
A common assumption in causal modeling posits that the data is generated by a set of independent mechanisms, and algorithms should aim to recover this structure. Standard unsupervi…
Spatially adaptive image compression using a tiled deep network
David Minnen, George Toderici, Michele Covell +6
Deep neural networks represent a powerful class of function approximators that can learn to compress and reconstruct images. Existing image compression algorithms based on neural n…
