Efficient Exploration using Model-Based Quality-Diversity with Gradients
Bryan Lim, Manon Flageat, Antoine Cully
Exploration is a key challenge in Reinforcement Learning, especially in long-horizon, deceptive and sparse-reward environments. For such applications, population-based approaches h…
Benchmarking Quality-Diversity Algorithms on Neuroevolution for Reinforcement Learning
Manon Flageat, Bryan Lim, Luca Grillotti +3
We present a Quality-Diversity benchmark suite for Deep Neuroevolution in Reinforcement Learning domains for robot control. The suite includes the definition of tasks, environments…
Assessing Quality-Diversity Neuro-Evolution Algorithms Performance in Hard Exploration Problems
Felix Chalumeau, Thomas Pierrot, Valentin Macé +4
A fascinating aspect of nature lies in its ability to produce a collection of organisms that are all high-performing in their niche. Quality-Diversity (QD) methods are evolutionary…
Empirical analysis of PGA-MAP-Elites for Neuroevolution in Uncertain Domains
Manon Flageat, Felix Chalumeau, Antoine Cully
Quality-Diversity algorithms, among which MAP-Elites, have emerged as powerful alternatives to performance-only optimisation approaches as they enable generating collections of div…
Efficient Learning of Locomotion Skills through the Discovery of Diverse Environmental Trajectory Generator Priors
Shikha Surana, Bryan Lim, Antoine Cully
Data-driven learning based methods have recently been particularly successful at learning robust locomotion controllers for a variety of unstructured terrains. Prior work has shown…
Neuroevolution is a Competitive Alternative to Reinforcement Learning for Skill Discovery
Felix Chalumeau, Raphael Boige, Bryan Lim +5
Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training neural policies to solve complex control tasks. However, these policies tend to be overfit to the e…
