• Abstract: A promising approach to accurate positioning of robots is ground texture based localization. It is based on the observation that visual features of ground images enable fingerprint-like place recognition. We tackle the issue of efficient parametrization of such methods, deriving a prediction model for localization performance, which requires only a small collection of sample images of an application area. In a first step, we examine whether the model can predict the effects of changing one of the most important parameters of feature-based localization methods: the number of extracted features. We examine two localization methods, and in both cases our evaluation shows that the predictions are sufficiently accurate. Since this model can be used to find suitable values for any parameter, we then present a holistic parameter optimization framework, which finds suitable texture-specific parameter configurations, using only the model to evaluate the considered parameter configurations.

  We propose a new perspective on parameterization by investigating a key assumption in prior work. Our empirical investigation includes tens of thousands of models trained with all combinations of threes. We find that the best learning rate scaling prescription would often have been excluded by the assumptions in prior work.

  Currently, many research works propose to only fine-tune a small portion of the parameters while keeping most of the parameters shared across different tasks. We show that all of the methods are actually sparse fine-tuned models and conduct a novel theoretical analysis of them. Despite the effectiveness of sparsity grounded by our theory, it still remains an open problem of how to choose the tunable parameters.

• Exploring validation metrics for offline model-based optimisation with diffusion models [50.404829846182764]
  In model-based optimisation (MBO) we are interested in using machine learning to design candidates that maximise some measure of reward with respect to a black box function called the (ground truth) oracle. While an approximation to the ground oracle can be trained and used in place of it during model validation to measure the mean reward over generated candidates, the evaluation is approximate and vulnerable to adversarial examples. This is encapsulated under our proposed evaluation framework which is also designed to measure extrapolation.

  Region-based explanations (RbX) is a model-agnostic method to generate local explanations of scalar outputs from a black-box prediction model. RbX is guaranteed to satisfy a "sparsity axiom," which requires that features which do not enter into the prediction model are assigned zero importance.

Our proposed technique consistently maintains original performance while waiving around 50% of the model parameters of common two-stage detection heads.
