NAVIX: Scaling MiniGrid Environments with JAX
Eduardo Pignatelli, Jarek Liesen, Robert Tjarko Lange +3
As Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) research moves towards solving large-scale worlds, efficient environment simulations become crucial for rapid experimentation. However, mos…
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…
Behaviour Distillation
Andrei Lupu, Chris Lu, Jarek Liesen +2
Dataset distillation aims to condense large datasets into a small number of synthetic examples that can be used as drop-in replacements when training new models. It has application…
Discovering Minimal Reinforcement Learning Environments
Jarek Liesen, Chris Lu, Andrei Lupu +3
Reinforcement learning (RL) agents are commonly trained and evaluated in the same environment. In contrast, humans often train in a specialized environment before being evaluated,…
EvIL: Evolution Strategies for Generalisable Imitation Learning
Silvia Sapora, Gokul Swamy, Chris Lu +2
Often times in imitation learning (IL), the environment we collect expert demonstrations in and the environment we want to deploy our learned policy in aren't exactly the same (e.g…
Discovering Preference Optimization Algorithms with and for Large Language Models
Chris Lu, Samuel Holt, Claudio Fanconi +4
Offline preference optimization is a key method for enhancing and controlling the quality of Large Language Model (LLM) outputs. Typically, preference optimization is approached as…
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…
JaxMARL: Multi-Agent RL Environments and Algorithms in JAX
Alexander Rutherford, Benjamin Ellis, Matteo Gallici +18
