Active Information Gathering for Long-Horizon Navigation Under Uncertainty by Learning the Value of Information

IEEE

In this paper we address the task of long-horizon navigation in partially mapped environments for which active gathering of information about faraway unseen space is essential for good behavior. We present a novel planning strategy that, at training time, affords tractable computation of the value of information associated with revealing potentially informative regions of unseen space, data used to train a graph neural network to predict the goodness of temporally-extended exploratory actions. Our learning-augmented model-based planning approach predicts the expected value of information of revealing unseen space and is capable of using these predictions to actively seek information and so improve long-horizon navigation.

Improving Reliable Navigation Under Uncertainty via Predictions Informed by Non-Local Information

IEEE

This paper presents a novel approach to improve efficieny of reliable navigation with partial map by leveraging non-local information to inform predictions for good behavior.

Code to comment translation: A comparative study on model effectiveness & errors

arXiv preprint

This paper is a qualitative investigation into the various error modes of current state-of-the-art models for automated source code summarization. Instead of automatic reference metric for error, manual coding was used to analyze that qualitatively.
