Gaze on the Prize: Shaping Visual Attention with Return-Guided Contrastive Learning

Andrew Lee, Ian Chuang, Dechen Gao +2

Visual Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents must learn to act based on high-dimensional image data where only a small fraction of the pixels is task-relevant. This forces agents to w…
