Error Distribution Smoothing:Advancing Low-Dimensional Imbalanced Regression

In real-world regression tasks, datasets frequently exhibit imbalanced distributions, characterized by a scarcity of data in high-complexity regions and an abundance in low-complexity areas. This imbalance presents significant challenges for existing classification methods with clear class boundaries, while highlighting a scarcity of approaches specifically designed for imbalanced regression problems. To better address these issues, we introduce a novel concept of Imbalanced Regression, which takes into account both the complexity of the problem and the density of data points, extending beyond traditional definitions that focus only on data density. Furthermore, we propose Error Distribution Smoothing (EDS) as a solution to tackle imbalanced regression, effectively selecting a representative subset from the dataset to reduce redundancy while maintaining balance and representativeness. Through several experiments, EDS has shown its effectiveness, and the related code and dataset can be accessed at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/Error-Distribution-Smoothing-762F.

Adviser-Actor-Critic: Eliminating Steady-State Error in Reinforcement Learning Control

High-precision control tasks present substantial challenges for reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, frequently resulting in suboptimal performance attributed to network approximation inaccuracies and inadequate sample quality.These issues are exacerbated when the task requires the agent to achieve a precise goal state, as is common in robotics and other real-world applications.We introduce Adviser-Actor-Critic (AAC), designed to address the precision control dilemma by combining the precision of feedback control theory with the adaptive learning capability of RL and featuring an Adviser that mentors the actor to refine control actions, thereby enhancing the precision of goal attainment.Finally, through benchmark tests, AAC outperformed standard RL algorithms in precision-critical, goal-conditioned tasks, demonstrating AAC's high precision, reliability, and robustness.Code are available at: https://anonymous.4open.science/r/Adviser-Actor-Critic-8AC5.
