• Title: Detecting and Accommodating Novel Types and Concepts in an Embodied Simulation Environment
• Authors: Sadaf Ghaffari, Nikhil Krishnaswamy
• Abstract summary: We present methods for two types of metacognitive tasks in an AI system. We expand a neural classification model to accommodate a new category of object, and recognize when a novel object type is observed instead of misclassifying the observation as a known class. We present a suite of experiments in rapidly accommodating the introduction of new categories and concepts and in novel type detection, and an architecture to integrate the two in an interactive system.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present methods for two types of metacognitive tasks in an AI system: rapidly expanding a neural classification model to accommodate a new category of object, and recognizing when a novel object type is observed instead of misclassifying the observation as a known class. Our methods take numerical data drawn from an embodied simulation environment, which describes the motion and properties of objects when interacted with, and we demonstrate that this type of representation is important for the success of novel type detection. We present a suite of experiments in rapidly accommodating the introduction of new categories and concepts and in novel type detection, and an architecture to integrate the two in an interactive system.

• Contextuality Helps Representation Learning for Generalized Category Discovery [5.885208652383516]
  This paper introduces a novel approach to Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) by leveraging the concept of contextuality. Our model integrates two levels of contextuality: instance-level, where nearest-neighbor contexts are utilized for contrastive learning, and cluster-level, employing contrastive learning. The integration of the contextual information effectively improves the feature learning and thereby the classification accuracy of all categories.

  We propose a spatial reasoning framework that detects novel objects with only a few training examples in a context. We employ a graph convolutional network as the RoIs and their relatedness are defined as nodes and edges, respectively. We demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods and verify its efficacy through extensive ablation studies.

  This paper tackles the problem of novel category discovery (NCD), which aims to discriminate unknown categories in large-scale image collections. We propose a novel adaptive prototype learning method consisting of two main stages: prototypical representation learning and prototypical self-training. We conduct extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method with state-of-the-art performance.

  We identify and formulate a new, pragmatic problem setting of NCDwF: Novel Class Discovery without Forgetting. We propose a machine learning model to incrementally discover novel categories of instances from unlabeled data. We introduce experimental protocols based on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and ImageNet-1000 to measure the trade-off between knowledge retention and novel class discovery.

• Exploiting Embodied Simulation to Detect Novel Object Classes Through Interaction [4.507860128918788]
  We train a reinforcement learning policy on a stacking task given a known object type, and observe the results of the agent attempting to stack various other objects based on the same trained policy. We can determine the similarity of a given object to known object types, and determine if the given object is likely dissimilar enough to the known types to be considered a novel class of object. We present the results of this method on two datasets gathered using two different policies and demonstrate what information the agent needs to extract from its environment to make these novelty judgments.

  Anomaly detection algorithms for feature-vector data identify anomalies as outliers, but outlier detection has not worked well in deep learning. This paper proposes the Familiarity Hypothesis that these methods succeed because they are detecting the absence of familiar learned features rather than the presence of novelty. The paper concludes with a discussion of whether familiarity detection is an inevitable consequence of representation learning.
