We propose generative multitask learning (GMTL), a simple and scalable approach to causal machine learning in the multitask setting. Our approach makes a minor change to the conventional multitask inference objective, and improves robustness to target shift. Since GMTL only modifies the inference objective, it can be used with existing multitask learning methods without requiring additional training. The improvement in robustness comes from mitigating unobserved confounders that cause the targets, but not the input. We refer to them as \emph{target-causing confounders}. These confounders induce spurious dependencies between the input and targets. This poses a problem for conventional multitask learning, due to its assumption that the targets are conditionally independent given the input.

We thank all the reviewers for their valuable feedback. In response we'll include Tab. 1, which gives the average epoch We show all models trained for the submission. Y es, this should be'iterations' - we will fix this. Wolfe for objectives which contain it (see [*]). We use the structured inference procedure employed in [9, 16, 30].

In an unfamiliar setting, a model-based reinforcement learning agent can be limited by the accuracy of its world model. In this work, we present a novel, training-free approach to improving the performance of such agents separately from planning and learning. We do so by applying iterative inference at decision-time, to fine-tune the inferred agent states based on the coherence of future state representations. Our approach achieves a consistent improvement in both reconstruction accuracy and task performance when applied to visual 3D navigation tasks. We go on to show that considering more future states further improves the performance of the agent in partially-observable environments, but not in a fully-observable one. Finally, we demonstrate that agents with less training pre-evaluation benefit most from our approach.

This paper presents Graph-of-Thought (GoT), a new model for workflow automation that enhances the flexibility and efficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs) in complex task execution. GoT advances beyond traditional linear and tree-like cognitive models with a graph structure that enables dynamic path selection. The open-source engine GoTFlow demonstrates the practical application of GoT, facilitating automated, data-driven decision-making across various domains. Despite challenges in complexity and transparency, GoTFlow's potential for improving business processes is significant, promising advancements in both efficiency and decision quality with continuous development.
