Disentangling Dynamical Systems: Causal Representation Learning Meets Local Sparse Attention
Markus W. Baumgartner, Anson Lei, Joe Watson +1
Parametric system identification methods estimate the parameters of explicitly defined physical systems from data. Yet, they remain constrained by the need to provide an explicit f…
Coherent Off-Policy Improvement of Large Behavior Models with Learned Rewards
Christian Scherer, Joe Watson, Theo Gruner +3
Distilling expert demonstration data into large generative models using behavioral cloning is a scalable approach to learning capable policies for robotic control, particularly for…
XQCfD: Accelerating Fast Actor-Critic Algorithms with Prior Data and Prior Policies
Daniel Palenicek, Florian Vogt, Joe Watson +3
For reinforcement learning in the real world online exploration is expensive A common practice in robotic reinforcement learning is to incorporate additional data to improve sample…
XQC: Well-conditioned Optimization Accelerates Deep Reinforcement Learning
Daniel Palenicek, Florian Vogt, Joe Watson +2
Sample efficiency is a central property of effective deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Recent work has improved this through added complexity, such as larger models, exotic n…
