D-Cubed: Latent Diffusion Trajectory Optimisation for Dexterous Deformable Manipulation

no code implementations19 Mar 2024 Jun Yamada, Shaohong Zhong, Jack Collins, Ingmar Posner

In this work, we propose D-Cubed, a novel trajectory optimisation method using a latent diffusion model (LDM) trained from a task-agnostic play dataset to solve dexterous deformable object manipulation tasks.

TWIST: Teacher-Student World Model Distillation for Efficient Sim-to-Real Transfer

no code implementations7 Nov 2023 Jun Yamada, Marc Rigter, Jack Collins, Ingmar Posner

The teacher world model then supervises a student world model that takes the domain-randomised image observations as input.

BioDEX: Large-Scale Biomedical Adverse Drug Event Extraction for Real-World Pharmacovigilance

1 code implementation22 May 2023 Karel D'Oosterlinck, François Remy, Johannes Deleu, Thomas Demeester, Chris Develder, Klim Zaporojets, Aneiss Ghodsi, Simon Ellershaw, Jack Collins, Christopher Potts

We introduce BioDEX, a large-scale resource for Biomedical adverse Drug Event Extraction, rooted in the historical output of drug safety reporting in the U. S. BioDEX consists of 65k abstracts and 19k full-text biomedical papers with 256k associated document-level safety reports created by medical experts.

Efficient Skill Acquisition for Complex Manipulation Tasks in Obstructed Environments

no code implementations6 Mar 2023 Jun Yamada, Jack Collins, Ingmar Posner

In this work, we propose a system for efficient skill acquisition that leverages an object-centric generative model (OCGM) for versatile goal identification to specify a goal for MP combined with RL to solve complex manipulation tasks in obstructed environments.

Leveraging Scene Embeddings for Gradient-Based Motion Planning in Latent Space

no code implementations6 Mar 2023 Jun Yamada, Chia-Man Hung, Jack Collins, Ioannis Havoutis, Ingmar Posner

Motion planning framed as optimisation in structured latent spaces has recently emerged as competitive with traditional methods in terms of planning success while significantly outperforming them in terms of computational speed.
