arXiv:2405.01158v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Anomaly Detection (AD) is crucial in industrial settings to streamline operations by detecting underlying issues. Conventional methods merely label observations as normal or anomalous, lacking crucial insights. In Industry 5.0, interpretable outcomes become desirable to enable users to understand the rational under model decisions. This paper presents the first industrial application of ExIFFI, a recent approach for fast, efficient explanations for the Extended Isolation Forest (EIF) AD method. ExIFFI is tested on four industrial datasets, demonstrating superior explanation effectiveness, computational efficiency and improved raw anomaly detection performances. ExIFFI reaches over then 90\% of average precision on all the benchmarks considered in the study and overperforms state-of-the-art Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approaches in terms of the feature selection proxy task metric which was specifically introduced to quantitatively evaluate model explanations.

arXiv:2603.08588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods have achieved remarkable performance in continuous control tasks, yet their computational complexity is often incompatible with the constraints of resource-limited hardware, due to their reliance on replay buffers, batch updates, and target networks. The emerging paradigm of streaming deep RL addresses this limitation through purely online updates, achieving strong empirical performance on standard benchmarks. In this work, we propose two novel streaming deep RL algorithms, Streaming Soft Actor-Critic (S2AC) and Streaming Deterministic Actor-Critic (SDAC), explicitly designed to be compatible with state-of-the-art batch RL methods, making them particularly suitable for on-device finetuning applications such as Sim2Real transfer. Both algorithms achieve performance comparable to state-of-the-art streaming baselines on standard benchmarks without requiring tedious hyperparameter tuning. Finally, we further investigate the practical challenges of transitioning from batch to streaming learning during finetuning and propose concrete strategies to tackle them.
