Synthetic Petri Dish: A Novel Surrogate Model for Rapid Architecture Search

Aditya Rawal, Joel Lehman, Felipe Petroski Such +2

Neural Architecture Search (NAS) explores a large space of architectural motifs -- a compute-intensive process that often involves ground-truth evaluation of each motif by instanti…

Learning to Continually Learn

Shawn Beaulieu, Lapo Frati, Thomas Miconi +4

Continual lifelong learning requires an agent or model to learn many sequentially ordered tasks, building on previous knowledge without catastrophically forgetting it. Much work ha…

Learning Belief Representations for Imitation Learning in POMDPs

Tanmay Gangwani, Joel Lehman, Qiang Liu +1

We consider the problem of imitation learning from expert demonstrations in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). Belief representations, which characterize the…

Go-Explore: a New Approach for Hard-Exploration Problems

Adrien Ecoffet, Joost Huizinga, Joel Lehman +2

A grand challenge in reinforcement learning is intelligent exploration, especially when rewards are sparse or deceptive. Two Atari games serve as benchmarks for such hard-explorati…
