Task-Relevant Adversarial Imitation Learning

Konrad Zolna, Scott Reed, Alexander Novikov +6

We show that a critical vulnerability in adversarial imitation is the tendency of discriminator networks to learn spurious associations between visual features and expert labels. W…

Scaling data-driven robotics with reward sketching and batch reinforcement learning

Serkan Cabi, Sergio Gómez Colmenarejo, Alexander Novikov +13

We present a framework for data-driven robotics that makes use of a large dataset of recorded robot experience and scales to several tasks using learned reward functions. We show h…

Modular Meta-Learning with Shrinkage

Yutian Chen, Abram L. Friesen, Feryal Behbahani +4

Many real-world problems, including multi-speaker text-to-speech synthesis, can greatly benefit from the ability to meta-learn large models with only a few task-specific components…

Learning Compositional Neural Programs with Recursive Tree Search and Planning

Thomas Pierrot, Guillaume Ligner, Scott Reed +6

We propose a novel reinforcement learning algorithm, AlphaNPI, that incorporates the strengths of Neural Programmer-Interpreters (NPI) and AlphaZero. NPI contributes structural bia…

Meta-learning of Sequential Strategies

Pedro A. Ortega, Jane X. Wang, Mark Rowland +21

In this report we review memory-based meta-learning as a tool for building sample-efficient strategies that learn from past experience to adapt to any task within a target class. O…
