The Power of Multiple Samples in Generative Adversarial Networks
32-141 , United StatesAbstract We bring the tools from Blackwell’s seminal result on comparing two stochastic experiments from 1953, to shine a new light on a modern application of great interest: Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). Binary hypothesis testing is at the center of training GANs, where a trained neural network (called a critic) determines whether a given sample…
Safe Learning in Robotics
32-141 , United StatesAbstract A great deal of research in recent years has focused on robot learning. In many applications, guarantees that specifications are satisfied throughout the learning process are paramount. For the safety specification, we present a controller synthesis technique based on the computation of reachable sets using optimal control. We show recent results in system decomposition…
Supervisory Control of Discrete Event Systems: A Retrospective and Two Recent Results on Security and Privacy
32-141 , United StatesAbstract Lafortune will begin with a brief retrospective of the theory of supervisory control of discrete event systems, initiated in the seminal work of Ramadge & Wonham over 30 years ago, and compare it with recent work in formal methods in control. He will then present results from his group on two problems: (i) sensor…
