    • Social Interactions as Recursive MDPs 

      Tejwani, Ravi; Kuo, Yen-Ling; Shu, Tianmin; Katz, Boris; Barbu, Andrei (Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL), 2021-11-08)
      While machines and robots must interact with humans, providing them with social skills has been a largely overlooked topic. This is mostly a consequence of the fact that tasks such as navigation, command following, and ...

    • Compositional Networks Enable Systematic Generalization for Grounded Language Understanding 

      Kuo, Yen-Ling; Katz, Boris; Barbu, Andrei (Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), 2021-11-07)
      Humans are remarkably flexible when under- standing new sentences that include combinations of concepts they have never encountered before. Recent work has shown that while deep networks can mimic some human language ...
