Residual Pathway Priors for Soft Equivariance Constraints Marc Finzi New York University Greg Benton New York University Andrew Gordon Wilson New York University

Neural Information Processing Systems

A disadvantage of hard coding these restrictions is that this prior knowledge may not match reality. A scene may have long range non-local interactions, rotation equivariance may be violated by a preferred camera angle, or a dynamical system may occasionally have discontinuous transitions. In particular, symmetries are delicate. A small perturbation like adding wind breaks the rotational symmetry of a pendulum, and bumpy or tilted terrain could break the translation symmetry for locomotion.



Provable Benefit of Multitask Representation Learning in Reinforcement Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

Our result demonstrates that multitask representation learning is provably more sample-efficient than learning each task individually, as long as the total number of tasks is above a certain threshold.
