• Abstract: Scientists have developed hundreds of techniques to measure the interactions between pairs of processes in complex systems. But these computational methods, from correlation coefficients to causal inference, rely on distinct quantitative theories that remain largely disconnected. Here we introduce a library of 237 statistics of pairwise interactions and assess their behavior on 1053 multivariate time series from a wide range of real-world and model-generated systems. Our analysis highlights new commonalities between different mathematical formulations, providing a unified picture of a rich interdisciplinary literature. Using three real-world case studies, we then show that simultaneously leveraging diverse methods from across science can uncover those most suitable for addressing a given problem, yielding interpretable understanding of the conceptual formulations of pairwise dependence that drive successful performance. Our framework is provided in extendable open software, enabling comprehensive data-driven analysis by integrating decades of methodological advances.

• Distributionally Robust Model-based Reinforcement Learning with Large State Spaces [55.14361269378122]
  Three major challenges in reinforcement learning are the complex dynamical systems with large state spaces, the costly data acquisition processes, and the deviation of real-world dynamics from the training environment deployment. We study distributionally robust Markov decision processes with continuous state spaces under the widely used Kullback-Leibler, chi-square, and total variation uncertainty sets. We propose a model-based approach that utilizes Gaussian Processes and the maximum variance reduction algorithm to efficiently learn multi-output nominal transition dynamics.

  Non-trivial dependencies between groups of more than two variables can play a significant role in the analysis and modelling of such systems. We introduce a hierarchy of $d$-order ($d geq 2$) interaction measures, increasingly inclusive of possible factorisations of the joint probability distribution. We also establish mathematical links with lattice theory, which elucidate the derivation of the interaction measures and their composite permutation tests.

• Multi-Agent Imitation Learning with Copulas [102.27052968901894]
  Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions. In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.
