Bridging State and History Representations: Understanding Self-Predictive RL

Tianwei Ni, Benjamin Eysenbach, Erfan Seyedsalehi +4

Representations are at the core of all deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods for both Markov decision processes (MDPs) and partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs…

When Do Transformers Shine in RL? Decoupling Memory from Credit Assignment

Tianwei Ni, Michel Ma, Benjamin Eysenbach +1

Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms face two distinct challenges: learning effective representations of past and present observations, and determining how actions influence futu…

Recurrent Model-Free RL Can Be a Strong Baseline for Many POMDPs

Tianwei Ni, Benjamin Eysenbach, Ruslan Salakhutdinov

Many problems in RL, such as meta-RL, robust RL, generalization in RL, and temporal credit assignment, can be cast as POMDPs. In theory, simply augmenting model-free RL with memory…

Adaptive Agent Architecture for Real-time Human-Agent Teaming

Tianwei Ni, Huao Li, Siddharth Agrawal +6

Teamwork is a set of interrelated reasoning, actions and behaviors of team members that facilitate common objectives. Teamwork theory and experiments have resulted in a set of stat…

f-IRL: Inverse Reinforcement Learning via State Marginal Matching

Tianwei Ni, Harshit Sikchi, Yufei Wang +3

Imitation learning is well-suited for robotic tasks where it is difficult to directly program the behavior or specify a cost for optimal control. In this work, we propose a method…

Meta-SAC: Auto-tune the Entropy Temperature of Soft Actor-Critic via Metagradient

Yufei Wang, Tianwei Ni

Exploration-exploitation dilemma has long been a crucial issue in reinforcement learning. In this paper, we propose a new approach to automatically balance between these two. Our m…

Elastic Boundary Projection for 3D Medical Image Segmentation

Tianwei Ni, Lingxi Xie, Huangjie Zheng +2

We focus on an important yet challenging problem: using a 2D deep network to deal with 3D segmentation for medical image analysis. Existing approaches either applied multi-view pla…

Phase Collaborative Network for Two-Phase Medical Image Segmentation

Huangjie Zheng, Lingxi Xie, Tianwei Ni +5

In real-world practice, medical images acquired in different phases possess complementary information, {\em e.g.}, radiologists often refer to both arterial and venous scans in ord…
