MATE: Solving Contextual Markov Decision Processes with Memory of Accumulated Transition Embeddings

We propose MATE, a simple yet effective memory architecture for solving Contextual Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs), a family of MDPs parameterized by an unobserved context. In CMDPs, an optimal agent can adapt online by maintaining the posterior belief over contexts. MATE replaces this intractable posterior with a sum-aggregated memory, leveraging the posterior's permutation invariance to retain provably sufficient expressiveness. Compared to prior memory architectures, MATE avoids the growing per-step rollout cost of Transformers and the gradient issues commonly associated with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Extensive evaluations across diverse benchmarks demonstrate that MATE provides clear computational advantages while achieving performance comparable to standard sequence-model baselines.

Evaluating Out-of-Distribution Detectors Through Adversarial Generation of Outliers

A reliable evaluation method is essential for building a robust out-of-distribution (OOD) detector. Current robustness evaluation protocols for OOD detectors rely on injecting perturbations to outlier data. However, the perturbations are unlikely to occur naturally or not relevant to the content of data, providing a limited assessment of robustness. In this paper, we propose Evaluation-via-Generation for OOD detectors (EvG), a new protocol for investigating the robustness of OOD detectors under more realistic modes of variation in outliers. EvG utilizes a generative model to synthesize plausible outliers, and employs MCMC sampling to find outliers misclassified as in-distribution with the highest confidence by a detector. We perform a comprehensive benchmark comparison of the performance of state-of-the-art OOD detectors using EvG, uncovering previously overlooked weaknesses.

Image-to-Image Retrieval by Learning Similarity between Scene Graphs

As a scene graph compactly summarizes the high-level content of an image in a structured and symbolic manner, the similarity between scene graphs of two images reflects the relevance of their contents. Based on this idea, we propose a novel approach for image-to-image retrieval using scene graph similarity measured by graph neural networks. In our approach, graph neural networks are trained to predict the proxy image relevance measure, computed from human-annotated captions using a pre-trained sentence similarity model. We collect and publish the dataset for image relevance measured by human annotators to evaluate retrieval algorithms. The collected dataset shows that our method agrees well with the human perception of image similarity than other competitive baselines.
