#Torch-Struct: Deep Structured Prediction Library

The literature on structured prediction for #NLP describes a rich collection of distributions and algorithms over #sequences, #segmentations, #alignments, and #trees; however, these algorithms are difficult to utilize in deep learning frameworks. We introduce Torch-Struct, a library for structured prediction designed to take advantage of and integrate with vectorized, auto-differentiation based #frameworks. Torch-Struct includes a broad collection of #probabilistic structures accessed through a simple and flexible distribution-based API that connects to any deep learning model. The library utilizes batched, vectorized operations and exploits auto-differentiation to produce readable, fast, and testable code. Internally, we also include a number of general-purpose optimizations to provide cross-algorithm efficiency. Experiments show significant performance gains over fast baselines and case-studies demonstrate the benefits of the library. Torch-Struct is available at:

🔹Google leverages computer vison to enhance the performance of robot manipulation

by Priya Dialani

The possibility that robots can figure out how to directly see the affordances of actions on objects (i.e., what the robot can or can’t do with an item) is called affordance-based manipulation, explored in research on learning complex vision-based manipulation skills including grasping, pushing, and tossing. In these #frameworks, affordances are represented as thick pixel-wise action-value maps that gauge how great it is for the #robot to execute one of a few predefined movements in every area.
