• Abstract summary: Advisees mentored by advisors with high academic level have better academic performance than the rest. Advisees mentored by advisors with high academic level can raise their advisees' h-index ranking. This work provides new insights on promoting our understanding of the relationship between advisors' academic characteristics and advisees' performance.

• Abstract: Advisor-advisee relationship is important in academic networks due to its universality and necessity. Despite the increasing desire to analyze the career of newcomers, however, the outcomes of different collaboration patterns between advisors and advisees remain unknown. The purpose of this paper is to find out the correlation between advisors' academic characteristics and advisees' academic performance in Computer Science. Employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis, we find that with the increase of advisors' academic age, advisees' performance experiences an initial growth, follows a sustaining stage, and finally ends up with a declining trend. We also discover the phenomenon that accomplished advisors can bring up skilled advisees. We explore the conclusion from two aspects: (1) Advisees mentored by advisors with high academic level have better academic performance than the rest; (2) Advisors with high academic level can raise their advisees' h-index ranking. This work provides new insights on promoting our understanding of the relationship between advisors' academic characteristics and advisees' performance, as well as on advisor choosing.

  We present a method to guide reinforcement learning agents through opinions. We evaluate it with synthetic (oracle) and human advisors, at different levels of uncertainty. Our results indicate that opinions, even if uncertain, improve the performance of reinforcement learning agents.

  We study the theoretical properties of the class of reward functions that are compatible with a given set of experts. Our results show that the presence of multiple sub-optimal experts can significantly shrink the set of compatible rewards. We analyze a uniform sampling algorithm that results in being minimax optimal whenever the sub-optimal experts' performance level is sufficiently close to the one of the optimal agent.

  We introduce a novel initiative advisor-in-the-loop actor-critic framework, termed as Ask-AC. At the heart of Ask-AC are two complementary components, namely action requester and adaptive state selector. Experimental results on both stationary and non-stationary environments demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly improves the learning efficiency of the agent.
