    Knowledge graphs have emerged as a key abstraction for organizing information in diverse domains and their embeddings are increasingly used to harness their information in various information retrieval and machine learning tasks. However, the ever growing size of knowledge graphs requires computationally efficient algorithms capable of scaling to graphs with millions of nodes and billions of edges. This

    This paper introduces Meta-Q-Learning (MQL), a new off-policy algorithm for meta-Reinforcement Learning (meta-RL). MQL builds upon three simple ideas. First, we show that Q-learning is competitive with state-of-the-art meta-RL algorithms if given access to a context variable that is a representation of the past trajectory. Second, a multi-task objective to maximize the average reward across the training

    Virtual assistants (VAs) tend to be literal in their delivery of messages. Most likely, if you ask them to deliver a message, the VAs either send a recorded message or a literal transcription to the receiver. To make incremental improvement towards a virtual assistant that you may speak to conversationally and naturally, we have provided the data necessary to build AI systems that can convert the point

    Embedding-based Zero-shot Retrieval through Query Generation leverages query synthesis over large corpuses of unlabeled text (such as Wikipedia) to pre-train siamese neural retrieval models. The resulting models significantly improve over previous BM25 baselines as well as state-of-the-art neural methods. This package provides support for leveraging BART-large for query synthesis as well as code for training
  • Although machine learning (ML) is widely used for predictive tasks, there are important scenarios in which ML cannot be used or at least cannot achieve its full potential. A major barrier to adoption is the sensitive nature of predictive queries. Individual users may lack sufficiently rich datasets to train accurate models locally but also be unwilling to send sensitive queries to commercial services that

    Multi-domain dialogue state tracking (DST) is a critical component for conversational AI systems. The domain ontology (i.e., specification of domains, slots, and values) of a conversational AI system is generally incomplete, making the capability for DST models to generalize to new slots, values, and domains during inference imperative. In this paper, we propose to model multi-domain DST as a question answering

    Natural language understanding (NLU) in the context of goal-oriented dialog systems typically includes intent classification and slot labeling tasks. Existing methods to expand an NLU system to new languages use machine translation with slot label projection from source to the translated utterances, and thus are sensitive to projection errors. In this work, we propose a novel end-to-end model that learns

    More and more text data are becoming available these days to train Natural Language Processing models such as sentiment analysis, predictive keyboards and question-answering chatbots. If companies that deploy such models use data provided by users, they have a responsibility to take steps to ensure their users' privacy. In this solution we demonstrate how one can use Differential Privacy to build accurate

    Homomorphic encryption is a special type of encryption scheme which enables computation of arbitrary functions on encrypted data. To evaluate a function f, a developer must implement f as a circuit F using only the "native" operation supported by the underlying homomorphic encryption scheme. Libraries which implement homomorphic encryption provide an API for these native operations which can be used to

    Bort is an optimal subset of architectural parameters for the BERT architecture, extracted by applying a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for neural architecture search. Bort has an effective (that is, not counting the embedding layer) size of 5.5% the original BERT-large architecture, and 16% of the net size. It is also able to be pretrained in 288 GPU hours, which is 1.2% of the time

    Question Answering (QA) is in increasing demand as the amount of information available online and the desire for quick access to this content grows. A common approach to QA has been to fine-tune a pretrained language model on a task-specific labeled dataset. This paradigm, however, relies on scarce, and costly to obtain, large-scale human-labeled data. We propose an unsupervised approach to training QA

Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces. We believe that future won’t arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We’re changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products. Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We’re building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful. At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build. If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you. an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.
