Approximating Gradients for Differentiable Quality Diversity in Reinforcement Learning

Bryon Tjanaka, Matthew C. Fontaine, Julian Togelius +1

Consider the problem of training robustly capable agents. One approach is to generate a diverse collection of agent polices. Training can then be viewed as a quality diversity (QD)…
