Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation of Circular-Scan, Synthetic-Aperture-Sonar Imagery

Isaac J. Sledge, Dominic M. Byrne, Jonathan L. King +6

We propose a weakly-supervised framework for the semantic segmentation of circular-scan synthetic-aperture-sonar (CSAS) imagery. The first part of our framework is trained in a sup…

Adapting the Exploration Rate for Value-of-Information-Based Reinforcement Learning

Isaac J. Sledge, Jose C. Principe

In this paper, we consider the problem of adjusting the exploration rate when using value-of-information-based exploration. We do this by converting the value-of-information optimi…

Estimating Rényi's -Cross-Entropies in a Matrix-Based Way

Isaac J. Sledge, Jose C. Principe

Conventional information-theoretic quantities assume access to probability distributions. Estimating such distributions is not trivial. Here, we consider function-based formulation…

External-Memory Networks for Low-Shot Learning of Targets in Forward-Looking-Sonar Imagery

Isaac J. Sledge, Christopher D. Toole, Joseph A. Maestri +1

We propose a memory-based framework for real-time, data-efficient target analysis in forward-looking-sonar (FLS) imagery. Our framework relies on first removing non-discriminative…

An Information-Theoretic Approach for Automatically Determining the Number of States when Aggregating Markov Chains

Isaac J. Sledge, Jose C. Principe

A fundamental problem when aggregating Markov chains is the specification of the number of state groups. Too few state groups may fail to sufficiently capture the pertinent dynamic…

Annotating Motion Primitives for Simplifying Action Search in Reinforcement Learning

Isaac J. Sledge, Darshan W. Bryner, Jose C. Principe

Reinforcement learning in large-scale environments is challenging due to the many possible actions that can be taken in specific situations. We have previously developed a means of…
