However, our ways of assessing the biases of NLP models have not kept up. While especially the detection of English gender bias in such models... On the Role of Parallel Data in Cross-lingual Transfer Learning While prior work has established that the use of parallel data is conducive for cross-lingual learning, it is unclear if the improvements come from the data itself, or if it is the modeling of parallel interactions that matters. Exploring this, we examine the usage of unsupervised machine... Dexterous Manipulation from Images: Autonomous Real-World RL via Substep Guidance Complex and contact-rich robotic manipulation tasks, particularly those that involve multi-fingered hands and underactuated object manipulation, present a significant challenge to any control method. Methods based on reinforcement learning offer an appealing choice for such settings, as they can...
