<dt>Abstract: </dt><dd>In reinforcement learning, an agent interacts with the environment, learns from feedback about the quality of its actions, and improves its behaviour or policy in order to maximise its expected utility. Learning efficiently in large scale problems is a major challenge. State aggregation is possible in problems with a first-order structure, allowing the agent to learn in an abstraction of the original problem which is of considerably smaller scale. One approach is to learn the Q-values of actions which are approximated by a relational function approximator. This is the basis for relational reinforcement learning (RRL). We abstract the state with first-order features which consist of only variables, thereby aggregating similar states from all problems of the same domain to abstract states. We study the limitations of RRL due to this abstraction and propose three methods to overcome the limitations, extending the types of problems our RRL method can solve. Next, to further improve the learning efficiency, we propose to learn different types of generalised knowledge. Transfer learning is possible by directly leveraging the generalised knowledge to accelerate learning in a new problem. Lastly, we introduce a new class of problems which considers dynamic objects and time-bounded goals. This allows us to model more realistic problems such as robotic applications. We demonstrate zero-shot transfer by training a robot in a simplistic simulator and evaluating its performance in Gazebo.

<dt>Date: </dt><dd>26 September 2022</dd>
<dt>Venue: </dt><dd>The Auditorium, Singapore Polytechnic</dd>
<dt>Abstract: </dt><dd>Until the 20th century, the only way to put to sea for remote places was by sail. Then for 100 years, we used motor-driven research ships. These were (and still are) large, expensive and few in number. As a result, the oceans were under sampled in space and time and oceanographers misled themselves into believing that large-scale phenomena (like basin-scale currents and wind systems) dominated physical oceanography (90%), with more variable and smaller scales (eddies, etc.,) accounting for 10%. The 21st century brought a revelation, with satellites and then small, relatively inexpensive, autonomous platforms demonstrating that the ratio was the other way around, and that if we wanted to understand the oceans, we needed many more platforms. So now we have the traditional research ship (costing O(10^4) Euro/Day) which can carry heavy equipment and a large team, and autonomous platforms (costing O(10^2) Euro/Day) which can go anywhere (eventually) but cannot take people. This two-decadal spread is a huge capability gap. What if you want to take a small research team to a remote island to do research? There is no way to do it for reasonable money. A small motor vessel is simply too small to carry enough fuel for itself, and is not seaworthy for open ocean passages. Re-enter the sailing vessel, but smaller than before. Being powered by wind, its range is essentially unlimited. With a ballasted keel, it can deal with the toughest ocean conditions. I will give examples of expeditions to remote ocean research locations which have yielded spectacular results for O(10^3) Euro/Day, achieving projects for Eur50k instead of a previously impossible Eur500k. As marine technology gets smaller, cheaper, lighter and low power (thanks to the autonomous platforms that are driving these innovations) we can now leverage these developments to fill the gap between research vessels and autonomous platforms at a fraction of the cost of the former, with much greater capability than the latter.</dd>
<dt>Biography: </dt><dd>Starting out with a maths and physics degree, Prof. Potter has been working on oceanography, glaciology and underwater acoustics for 40 years, in the UK, Italy, USA and Singapore, where he founded the ARL in NUS. Prof. Potter has the unusual habit of commuting from one job to the next by sailboat, which sometimes takes several months as he swaps countries. He has sailed over 50,000 n.m. in the open ocean, crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. He currently works in Trondheim, Norway and his boat is in the Maldives, from where he supports remote ocean expeditions in his spare time. Prof. Potter is a Fellow of the IEEE and MTS and an international Fellow of the Explorers’ Club. It is no longer true that he neither owns nor operates a television.</dd>

<dt>Venue: </dt><dd>Virtual talk through Zoom</dd>
<dt>Abstract: </dt><dd>Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) methods are used for monitoring and studying a wide variety of soniferous marine fauna. The use of automatic recognition techniques has largely underpinned the successes of PAM undertakings by improving the ease and repeatability of analyses. Over the past decade, the adoption of machine learning (ML) based recognition techniques has brought about improved accuracy and reliability in mining large acoustic datasets, facilitating a suite of ecological studies, such as call-or cue-based density estimation, stock identification, or cultural transmissions. This talk will provide an overview of PAM undertakings, present a brief overview of the various automation techniques used and contrast them with modern ML-based techniques. We will present a gentle introduction to ML concepts as they apply to acoustic event recognition, and provide a hands-on demonstration of developing a ML model using real underwater acoustic recordings.</dd>

<dt>Abstract: </dt><dd>Acoustic communication systems are prone to extreme Doppler distortions, which are evident as motion-induced center frequency shifting as well as bandwidth spreading caused by random fluctuations in the propagation medium. In multi-carrier acoustic systems operating in conditions of high mobility, Doppler shifts can easily exceed carrier separation, while residual time-variation may cause inter-carrier interference. In this lecture, we overview the basic properties of acoustic communication channels and discuss custom-made Doppler compensation methods for multi-carrier systems. We demonstrate excellent performance of these methods using real data recorded on a mobile underwater acoustic channel.</dd>

<dt>Abstract: </dt><dd>Acoustic data provide scientific and engineering insights in fields ranging from biology and communications to ocean and Earth science. This talk provides a survey of the recent advances and transformative potential of machine learning (ML), including deep learning, in the field of acoustics. We first provide an overview of ML theory, then discuss several applications in acoustics, including source localization and geophysical inverse problems. With large volumes of training data, ML can discover models describing complex acoustic phenomena such as human speech and reverberation. ML in acoustics is rapidly developing with compelling results and significant future promise.</dd>
