Dexterous Robotic Manipulation using Deep Reinforcement Learning and Knowledge Transfer for Complex Sparse Reward-based Tasks

1 code implementation19 May 2022 Qiang Wang, Francisco Roldan Sanchez, Robert McCarthy, David Cordova Bulens, Kevin McGuinness, Noel O'Connor, Manuel Wüthrich, Felix Widmaier, Stefan Bauer, Stephen J. Redmond

Here we extend this method, by modifying the task of Phase 1 of the RRC to require the robot to maintain the cube in a particular orientation, while the cube is moved along the required positional trajectory.

Addressing out-of-distribution label noise in webly-labelled data

no code implementations26 Oct 2021 Paul Albert, Diego Ortego, Eric Arazo, Noel O'Connor, Kevin McGuinness

We propose a simple solution to bridge the gap with a fully clean dataset using Dynamic Softening of Out-of-distribution Samples (DSOS), which we design on corrupted versions of the CIFAR-100 dataset, and compare against state-of-the-art algorithms on the web noise perturbated MiniImageNet and Stanford datasets and on real label noise datasets: WebVision 1. 0 and Clothing1M.
