Introducing Google Marketing Platform June 27, 2018
The online world was very different when DoubleClick debuted in 1996. Things we take for granted today, like texting emoji, sharing funny YouTube videos, or taking smartphone selfies were all years away. Of course, changes in technology have meant changes for digital marketers. There’s been an explosion of channels, formats and data. Consumers are also […]
Introducing simpler brands and solutions for advertisers and publishers June 27, 2018
We launched AdWords nearly 18 years ago with a simple goal—to make it easier for people to connect online with businesses. A search for eco-friendly stationery, quilting supplies, or for a service like a treehouse builder gave us an opportunity to deliver valuable ads that were useful and relevant in the moment. That idea was […]

Distributed Application of Guideline-Based Decision Support through Mobile Devices: Implementation and Evaluation. (arXiv:2102.11314v1 [cs.AI])
Traditionally Guideline(GL)based Decision Support Systems (DSSs) use a centralized infrastructure to generate recommendations to care providers. However, managing patients at home is preferable, reducing costs and empowering patients. We aimed to design, implement, and demonstrate the feasibility of a new architecture for a distributed DSS that provides patients with personalized, context-sensitive, evidence based guidance through […]
Meta-Learned Attribute Self-Gating for Continual Generalized Zero-Shot Learning. (arXiv:2102.11856v1 [cs.CV])
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) has been shown to be a promising approach to generalizing a model to categories unseen during training by leveraging class attributes, but challenges still remain. Recently, methods using generative models to combat bias towards classes seen during training have pushed the state of the art of ZSL, but these generative models can […]
NeuCrowd: Neural Sampling Network for Representation Learning with Crowdsourced Labels. (arXiv:2003.09660v3 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
Representation learning approaches require a massive amount of discriminative training data, which is unavailable in many scenarios, such as healthcare, smart city, education, etc. In practice, people refer to crowdsourcing to get annotated labels. However, due to issues like data privacy, budget limitation, shortage of domain-specific annotators, the number of crowdsourced labels is still very […]
Review, Analysis and Design of a Comprehensive Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework. (arXiv:2002.11883v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
The integration of deep learning to reinforcement learning (RL) has enabled RL to perform efficiently in high-dimensional environments. Deep RL methods have been applied to solve many complex real-world problems in recent years. However, development of a deep RL-based system is challenging because of various issues such as the selection of a suitable deep RL […]
A Visual Communication Map for Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning. (arXiv:2002.11882v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
Deep reinforcement learning has been applied successfully to solve various real-world problems and the number of its applications in the multi-agent settings has been increasing. Multi-agent learning distinctly poses significant challenges in the effort to allocate a concealed communication medium. Agents receive thorough knowledge from the medium to determine subsequent actions in a distributed nature. […]
Langevin DQN. (arXiv:2002.07282v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
Algorithms that tackle deep exploration -- an important challenge in reinforcement learning -- have relied on epistemic uncertainty representation through ensembles or other hypermodels, exploration bonuses, or visitation count distributions. An open question is whether deep exploration can be achieved by an incremental reinforcement learning algorithm that tracks a single point estimate, without additional complexity […]
Regularization Matters in Policy Optimization -- An Empirical Study on Continuous Control. (arXiv:1910.09191v4 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) has been receiving increasingly more attention thanks to its encouraging performance on a variety of control tasks. Yet, conventional regularization techniques in training neural networks (e.g., $L_2$ regularization, dropout) have been largely ignored in RL methods, possibly because agents are typically trained and evaluated in the same environment, and because […]
CAC: A Clustering Based Framework for Classification. (arXiv:2102.11872v1 [cs.LG])
In data containing heterogeneous subpopulations, classification performance benefits from incorporating the knowledge of cluster structure in the classifier. Previous methods for such combined clustering and classification either are classifier-specific and not generic or independently perform clustering and classifier training, which may not form clusters that can potentially benefit classifier performance. The question of how to […]
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Unitary Weights. (arXiv:2102.11855v1 [cs.LG])
While normalizations aim to fix the exploding and vanishing gradient problem in deep neural networks, they have drawbacks in speed or accuracy because of their dependency on the data set statistics. This work is a comprehensive study of a novel method based on unitary synaptic weights derived from Lie Group to construct intrinsically stable neural […]
Provably Efficient Reinforcement Learning for Discounted MDPs with Feature Mapping. (arXiv:2006.13165v4 [cs.LG] UPDATED)
Modern tasks in reinforcement learning have large state and action spaces. To deal with them efficiently, one often uses predefined feature mapping to represent states and actions in a low-dimensional space. In this paper, we study reinforcement learning for discounted Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), where the transition kernel can be parameterized as a linear function […]
