Jumanji: a Diverse Suite of Scalable Reinforcement Learning Environments in JAX

Clément Bonnet, Daniel Luo, Donal Byrne +21

Open-source reinforcement learning (RL) environments have played a crucial role in driving progress in the development of AI algorithms. In modern RL research, there is a need for…

DITTO: Offline Imitation Learning with World Models

Branton DeMoss, Paul Duckworth, Jakob Foerster +2

For imitation learning algorithms to scale to real-world challenges, they must handle high-dimensional observations, offline learning, and policy-induced covariate-shift. We propos…

Invariant Risk Minimisation for Cross-Organism Inference: Substituting Mouse Data for Human Data in Human Risk Factor Discovery

Odhran O'Donoghue, Paul Duckworth, Giuseppe Ughi +10

Human medical data can be challenging to obtain due to data privacy concerns, difficulties conducting certain types of experiments, or prohibitive associated costs. In many setting…

Planning for Risk-Aversion and Expected Value in MDPs

Marc Rigter, Paul Duckworth, Bruno Lacerda +1

Planning in Markov decision processes (MDPs) typically optimises the expected cost. However, optimising the expectation does not consider the risk that for any given run of the MDP…

Risk-Aware Motion Planning in Partially Known Environments

Fernando S. Barbosa, Bruno Lacerda, Paul Duckworth +2

Recent trends envisage robots being deployed in areas deemed dangerous to humans, such as buildings with gas and radiation leaks. In such situations, the model of the underlying ha…

On Solving a Stochastic Shortest-Path Markov Decision Process as Probabilistic Inference

Mohamed Baioumy, Bruno Lacerda, Paul Duckworth +1

Previous work on planning as active inference addresses finite horizon problems and solutions valid for online planning. We propose solving the general Stochastic Shortest-Path Mar…

Active Inference for Integrated State-Estimation, Control, and Learning

Mohamed Baioumy, Paul Duckworth, Bruno Lacerda +1

This work presents an approach for control, state-estimation and learning model (hyper)parameters for robotic manipulators. It is based on the active inference framework, prominent…
