• Abstract: Falls, highly common in the constantly increasing global aging population, can have a variety of negative effects on their health, well-being, and quality of life, including restricting their capabilities to conduct Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), which are crucial for one's sustenance. Timely assistance during falls is highly necessary, which involves tracking the indoor location of the elderly during their diverse navigational patterns associated with ADLs to detect the precise location of a fall. With the decreasing caregiver population on a global scale, it is important that the future of intelligent living environments can detect falls during ADLs while being able to track the indoor location of the elderly in the real world. To address these challenges, this work proposes a cost-effective and simplistic design paradigm for an Ambient Assisted Living system that can capture multimodal components of user behaviors during ADLs that are necessary for performing fall detection and indoor localization in a simultaneous manner in the real world. Proof of concept results from real-world experiments are presented to uphold the effective working of the system. The findings from two comparison studies with prior works in this field are also presented to uphold the novelty of this work. The first comparison study shows how the proposed system outperforms prior works in the areas of indoor localization and fall detection in terms of the effectiveness of its software design and hardware design. The second comparison study shows that the cost for the development of this system is the least as compared to prior works in these fields, which involved real-world development of the underlining systems, thereby upholding its cost-effective nature.

  We introduce a novel framework, Variable-Agnostic Causal Exploration for Reinforcement Learning (VACERL) Our approach automatically identifies crucial observation-action steps associated with key variables using attention mechanisms. It constructs the causal graph connecting these steps, which guides the agent towards observation-action pairs with greater causal influence on task completion.

  We consider the problem of active learning for global sensitivity analysis of expensive black-box functions. Since function evaluations are expensive, we use active learning to prioritize experimental resources where they yield the most value. We propose novel active learning acquisition functions that directly target key quantities of derivative-based global sensitivity measures.

  In this work, we propose to train a model with a purely intrinsic reward signal to guide exploration. We include a neural-based density model and replace the traditional count-based regularization with an estimated pseudo-count of previously visited states. We also show that a robot equipped with the proposed approach seamlessly adapts to point-goal navigation and real-world deployment.

  This paper presents Latent Optimistic Value Exploration (LOVE), a strategy that enables deep exploration through optimism in the face of uncertain long-term rewards. We combine latent world models with value function estimation to predict infinite-horizon returns and recover associated uncertainty via ensembling. We apply LOVE to visual robot control tasks in continuous action spaces and demonstrate on average more than 20% improved sample efficiency in comparison to state-of-the-art and other exploration objectives.
