Causally Correct Partial Models for Reinforcement Learning
Danilo J. Rezende, Ivo Danihelka, George Papamakarios +11
In reinforcement learning, we can learn a model of future observations and rewards, and use it to plan the agent's next actions. However, jointly modeling future observations can b…
Shaping Belief States with Generative Environment Models for RL
Karol Gregor, Danilo Jimenez Rezende, Frederic Besse +3
When agents interact with a complex environment, they must form and maintain beliefs about the relevant aspects of that environment. We propose a way to efficiently train expressiv…
TF-Replicator: Distributed Machine Learning for Researchers
Peter Buchlovsky, David Budden, Dominik Grewe +9
We describe TF-Replicator, a framework for distributed machine learning designed for DeepMind researchers and implemented as an abstraction over TensorFlow. TF-Replicator simplifie…
Temporal Difference Variational Auto-Encoder
Karol Gregor, George Papamakarios, Frederic Besse +2
To act and plan in complex environments, we posit that agents should have a mental simulator of the world with three characteristics: (a) it should build an abstract state represen…
Learning and Querying Fast Generative Models for Reinforcement Learning
Lars Buesing, Theophane Weber, Sebastien Racaniere +8
A key challenge in model-based reinforcement learning (RL) is to synthesize computationally efficient and accurate environment models. We show that carefully designed generative mo…
