Adam on Local Time: Addressing Nonstationarity in RL with Relative Adam Timesteps
Benjamin Ellis, Matthew T. Jackson, Andrei Lupu +4
In reinforcement learning (RL), it is common to apply techniques used broadly in machine learning such as neural network function approximators and momentum-based optimizers. Howev…
Reinforcement Learning Controllers for Soft Robots using Learned Environments
Uljad Berdica, Matthew Jackson, Niccolò Enrico Veronese +2
Soft robotic manipulators offer operational advantage due to their compliant and deformable structures. However, their inherently nonlinear dynamics presents substantial challenges…
Can Learned Optimization Make Reinforcement Learning Less Difficult?
Alexander David Goldie, Chris Lu, Matthew Thomas Jackson +2
While reinforcement learning (RL) holds great potential for decision making in the real world, it suffers from a number of unique difficulties which often need specific considerati…

Policy-Guided Diffusion
Matthew Thomas Jackson, Michael Tryfan Matthews, Cong Lu +3
In many real-world settings, agents must learn from an offline dataset gathered by some prior behavior policy. Such a setting naturally leads to distribution shift between the beha…
SplAgger: Split Aggregation for Meta-Reinforcement Learning
Jacob Beck, Matthew Jackson, Risto Vuorio +2
A core ambition of reinforcement learning (RL) is the creation of agents capable of rapid learning in novel tasks. Meta-RL aims to achieve this by directly learning such agents. Bl…
Discovering Temporally-Aware Reinforcement Learning Algorithms
Matthew Thomas Jackson, Chris Lu, Louis Kirsch +3
Recent advancements in meta-learning have enabled the automatic discovery of novel reinforcement learning algorithms parameterized by surrogate objective functions. To improve upon…
Craftax: A Lightning-Fast Benchmark for Open-Ended Reinforcement Learning
Michael Matthews, Michael Beukman, Benjamin Ellis +4
Benchmarks play a crucial role in the development and analysis of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. We identify that existing benchmarks used for research into open-ended lea…
