Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Pedagogical Policy Induction
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION (AIED 2019), PT I, Vol. 11625, pp. 544–556.
author keywords: Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning; Pedagogical policies
TL;DR:
This paper proposes and applies an offline, off-policy Gaussian Processes based Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) framework to induce a hierarchical pedagogical policy that makes decisions at both problem and step levels and shows that the HRL policy is significantly more effective than a Deep Q-Network induced policy and a random yet reasonable baseline policy.

Automatically Translating Quantum Programs from a Subset of Common Gates to an Adiabatic Representation
REVERSIBLE COMPUTATION (RC 2019), Vol. 11497, pp. 146–161.
author keywords: Quantum computation; Quantum annealing; Quantum gate circuits; Adiabatic computation
TL;DR:
Adiabatic computing with two degrees of freedom of 2-local Hamiltonians has been theoretically shown to be equivalent to the gate model of universal quantum computing, but today's quantum annealers, namely D-Wave’s 2000Q platform, only provide a 2- local Ising Hamiltonian abstraction with a single degree of freedom.

End-to-End Resilience for HPC Applications
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING, ISC HIGH PERFORMANCE 2019, Vol. 11501, pp. 271–290.
author keywords: Resilience; Silent data corruption; Pragma programming
TL;DR:
The live vulnerability factor (LVF) is introduced, a new metric that quantifies any lack of end-to-end protection for a given data structure that lifts the data protection burden from application programmers allowing them to focus solely on algorithms and performance while resilience is specified and subsequently embedded into the code through the compiler/library and supported by the runtime system.
