RL Unplugged: A Suite of Benchmarks for Offline Reinforcement Learning
Caglar Gulcehre, Ziyu Wang, Alexander Novikov +15
Offline methods for reinforcement learning have a potential to help bridge the gap between reinforcement learning research and real-world applications. They make it possible to lea…
Transfer in Deep Reinforcement Learning Using Successor Features and Generalised Policy Improvement
André Barreto, Diana Borsa, John Quan +6
The ability to transfer skills across tasks has the potential to scale up reinforcement learning (RL) agents to environments currently out of reach. Recently, a framework based on…
Transformers Meet Directed Graphs
Simon Geisler, Yujia Li, Daniel Mankowitz +3
Transformers were originally proposed as a sequence-to-sequence model for text but have become vital for a wide range of modalities, including images, audio, video, and undirected…
Local Search for Policy Iteration in Continuous Control
Jost Tobias Springenberg, Nicolas Heess, Daniel Mankowitz +10
We present an algorithm for local, regularized, policy improvement in reinforcement learning (RL) that allows us to formulate model-based and model-free variants in a single framew…
Universal Successor Features Approximators
Diana Borsa, André Barreto, John Quan +5
The ability of a reinforcement learning (RL) agent to learn about many reward functions at the same time has many potential benefits, such as the decomposition of complex tasks int…
Challenges of Real-World Reinforcement Learning
Gabriel Dulac-Arnold, Daniel Mankowitz, Todd Hester
Reinforcement learning (RL) has proven its worth in a series of artificial domains, and is beginning to show some successes in real-world scenarios. However, much of the research a…
A Bayesian Approach to Robust Reinforcement Learning
Esther Derman, Daniel Mankowitz, Timothy Mann +1
Robust Markov Decision Processes (RMDPs) intend to ensure robustness with respect to changing or adversarial system behavior. In this framework, transitions are modeled as arbitrar…
