Revisiting Gaussian mixture critics in off-policy reinforcement learning: a sample-based approach
Bobak Shahriari, Abbas Abdolmaleki, Arunkumar Byravan +6
Actor-critic algorithms that make use of distributional policy evaluation have frequently been shown to outperform their non-distributional counterparts on many challenging control…
Decoupled Exploration and Exploitation Policies for Sample-Efficient Reinforcement Learning
William F. Whitney, Michael Bloesch, Jost Tobias Springenberg +3
Despite the close connection between exploration and sample efficiency, most state of the art reinforcement learning algorithms include no considerations for exploration beyond max…
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…
A Distributional View on Multi-Objective Policy Optimization
Abbas Abdolmaleki, Sandy H. Huang, Leonard Hasenclever +7
Many real-world problems require trading off multiple competing objectives. However, these objectives are often in different units and/or scales, which can make it challenging for…
Keep Doing What Worked: Behavioral Modelling Priors for Offline Reinforcement Learning
Noah Y. Siegel, Jost Tobias Springenberg, Felix Berkenkamp +6
Off-policy reinforcement learning algorithms promise to be applicable in settings where only a fixed data-set (batch) of environment interactions is available and no new experience…
Continuous-Discrete Reinforcement Learning for Hybrid Control in Robotics
Michael Neunert, Abbas Abdolmaleki, Markus Wulfmeier +7
Many real-world control problems involve both discrete decision variables - such as the choice of control modes, gear switching or digital outputs - as well as continuous decision…
