Understanding Self-Predictive Learning for Reinforcement Learning
Yunhao Tang, Zhaohan Daniel Guo, Pierre Harvey Richemond +13
We study the learning dynamics of self-predictive learning for reinforcement learning, a family of algorithms that learn representations by minimizing the prediction error of their…
Understanding and Preventing Capacity Loss in Reinforcement Learning
Clare Lyle, Mark Rowland, Will Dabney
The reinforcement learning (RL) problem is rife with sources of non-stationarity, making it a notoriously difficult problem domain for the application of neural networks. We identi…
The Difficulty of Passive Learning in Deep Reinforcement Learning
Georg Ostrovski, Pablo Samuel Castro, Will Dabney
Learning to act from observational data without active environmental interaction is a well-known challenge in Reinforcement Learning (RL). Recent approaches involve constraints on…
Revisiting Peng's Q() for Modern Reinforcement Learning
Tadashi Kozuno, Yunhao Tang, Mark Rowland +5
Off-policy multi-step reinforcement learning algorithms consist of conservative and non-conservative algorithms: the former actively cut traces, whereas the latter do not. Recently…
On The Effect of Auxiliary Tasks on Representation Dynamics
Clare Lyle, Mark Rowland, Georg Ostrovski +1
While auxiliary tasks play a key role in shaping the representations learnt by reinforcement learning agents, much is still unknown about the mechanisms through which this is achie…
Revisiting Fundamentals of Experience Replay
William Fedus, Prajit Ramachandran, Rishabh Agarwal +4
Experience replay is central to off-policy algorithms in deep reinforcement learning (RL), but there remain significant gaps in our understanding. We therefore present a systematic…
