• Authors: Ruiqi Li, Leyang Cui, Songtuan Lin, Patrik Haslum
• Abstract summary: We present NaRuto, a system that extracts structured events from narrative text and generates planning-language-style action models. Experimental results in classical narrative planning domains show that NaRuto can generate action models of significantly better quality than existing fully automated methods.

• Abstract: Action models, which take the form of precondition/effect axioms, facilitate causal and motivational connections between actions for AI agents. Action model acquisition has been identified as a bottleneck in the application of planning technology, especially within narrative planning. Acquiring action models from narrative texts in an automated way is essential, but challenging because of the inherent complexities of such texts. We present NaRuto, a system that extracts structured events from narrative text and subsequently generates planning-language-style action models based on predictions of commonsense event relations, as well as textual contradictions and similarities, in an unsupervised manner. Experimental results in classical narrative planning domains show that NaRuto can generate action models of significantly better quality than existing fully automated methods, and even on par with those of semi-automated methods.

  Large Language Models are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations and data poisoning attacks. In this work, we unveil a novel approach by exploiting the inherent lead bias in summarization models. We also introduce an innovative application of influence functions, to execute data poisoning, which compromises the model's integrity.

  We present a novel framework which integrates visual representations with pretrained language models and planning. Our model translates the image sequence into a visual prefix, a sequence of continuous embeddings which language models can interpret. It also leverages a sequence of question-answer pairs as a blueprint plan for selecting salient visual concepts and determining how they should be assembled into a narrative.

  We argue the intentional fictional projection of subjectivity onto large language models can yield an alternate frame through which AI behaviour can be analysed. We trace a brief history of language models, culminating in the releases of systems that realise state-of-the-art natural language processing performance. We conclude that critical media methods and psychoanalytic theory together offer a productive frame for grasping the powerful new capacities of AI-driven language systems.

• Goal-Aware Prediction: Learning to Model What Matters [105.43098326577434]
  One of the fundamental challenges in using a learned forward dynamics model is the mismatch between the objective of the learned model and that of the downstream planner or policy. We propose to direct prediction towards task relevant information, enabling the model to be aware of the current task and encouraging it to only model relevant quantities of the state space. We find that our method more effectively models the relevant parts of the scene conditioned on the goal, and as a result outperforms standard task-agnostic dynamics models and model-free reinforcement learning.
