RoboCat: A Self-Improving Generalist Agent for Robotic Manipulation
Konstantinos Bousmalis, Giulia Vezzani, Dushyant Rao +36
The ability to leverage heterogeneous robotic experience from different robots and tasks to quickly master novel skills and embodiments has the potential to transform robot learnin…
Discovering Attention-Based Genetic Algorithms via Meta-Black-Box Optimization
Robert Tjarko Lange, Tom Schaul, Yutian Chen +4
Genetic algorithms constitute a family of black-box optimization algorithms, which take inspiration from the principles of biological evolution. While they provide a general-purpos…
Rapid training of deep neural networks without skip connections or normalization layers using Deep Kernel Shaping
James Martens, Andy Ballard, Guillaume Desjardins +4
Using an extended and formalized version of the Q/C map analysis of Poole et al. (2016), along with Neural Tangent Kernel theory, we identify the main pathologies present in deep n…
Faster Improvement Rate Population Based Training
Valentin Dalibard, Max Jaderberg
The successful training of neural networks typically involves careful and time consuming hyperparameter tuning. Population Based Training (PBT) has recently been proposed to automa…
Open-Ended Learning Leads to Generally Capable Agents
Open Ended Learning Team, Adam Stooke, Anuj Mahajan +15
In this work we create agents that can perform well beyond a single, individual task, that exhibit much wider generalisation of behaviour to a massive, rich space of challenges. We…
Perception-Prediction-Reaction Agents for Deep Reinforcement Learning
Adam Stooke, Valentin Dalibard, Siddhant M. Jayakumar +2
We introduce a new recurrent agent architecture and associated auxiliary losses which improve reinforcement learning in partially observable tasks requiring long-term memory. We em…
