Less is more -- the Dispatcher/ Executor principle for multi-task Reinforcement Learning

Martin Riedmiller, Andrea Gesmundo, Tim Hertweck +1

Humans instinctively know how to neglect details when it comes to solve complex decision making problems in environments with unforeseeable variations. This abstraction process see…

NFQ2.0: The CartPole Benchmark Revisited

Sascha Lange, Roland Hafner, Martin Riedmiller

This article revisits the 20-year-old neural fitted Q-iteration (NFQ) algorithm on its classical CartPole benchmark. NFQ was a pioneering approach towards modern Deep Reinforcement…

Value from Observations: Towards Large-Scale Imitation Learning via Self-Improvement

Michael Bloesch, Markus Wulfmeier, Philemon Brakel +8

Imitation Learning from Observation (IfO) offers a powerful way to learn behaviors at large-scale: Unlike behavior cloning or offline reinforcement learning, IfO can leverage actio…

Learning from negative feedback, or positive feedback or both

Abbas Abdolmaleki, Bilal Piot, Bobak Shahriari +9

Existing preference optimization methods often assume scenarios where paired preference feedback (preferred/positive vs. dis-preferred/negative examples) is available. This require…

Imitating Language via Scalable Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Markus Wulfmeier, Michael Bloesch, Nino Vieillard +13

The majority of language model training builds on imitation learning. It covers pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, and affects the starting conditions for reinforcement learning…
