Data augmentation for efficient learning from parametric experts
Alexandre Galashov, Josh Merel, Nicolas Heess
We present a simple, yet powerful data-augmentation technique to enable data-efficient learning from parametric experts for reinforcement and imitation learning. We focus on what w…
Learning Dynamics Models for Model Predictive Agents
Michael Lutter, Leonard Hasenclever, Arunkumar Byravan +5
Model-Based Reinforcement Learning involves learning a \textit{dynamics model} from data, and then using this model to optimise behaviour, most often with an online \textit{planner…
Local Search for Policy Iteration in Continuous Control
Jost Tobias Springenberg, Nicolas Heess, Daniel Mankowitz +10
We present an algorithm for local, regularized, policy improvement in reinforcement learning (RL) that allows us to formulate model-based and model-free variants in a single framew…
RL Unplugged: A Suite of Benchmarks for Offline Reinforcement Learning
Caglar Gulcehre, Ziyu Wang, Alexander Novikov +15
Offline methods for reinforcement learning have a potential to help bridge the gap between reinforcement learning research and real-world applications. They make it possible to lea…
Divide-and-Conquer Monte Carlo Tree Search For Goal-Directed Planning
Giambattista Parascandolo, Lars Buesing, Josh Merel +6
Standard planners for sequential decision making (including Monte Carlo planning, tree search, dynamic programming, etc.) are constrained by an implicit sequential planning assumpt…
Neural probabilistic motor primitives for humanoid control
Josh Merel, Leonard Hasenclever, Alexandre Galashov +5
We focus on the problem of learning a single motor module that can flexibly express a range of behaviors for the control of high-dimensional physically simulated humanoids. To do t…
