Constrained Latent Action Policies for Model-Based Offline Reinforcement Learning

Marvin Alles, Philip Becker-Ehmck, Patrick van der Smagt +1

In offline reinforcement learning, a policy is learned using a static dataset in the absence of costly feedback from the environment. In contrast to the online setting, only using…

Overcoming Knowledge Barriers: Online Imitation Learning from Visual Observation with Pretrained World Models

Xingyuan Zhang, Philip Becker-Ehmck, Patrick van der Smagt +1

Pretraining and finetuning models has become increasingly popular in decision-making. But there are still serious impediments in Imitation Learning from Observation (ILfO) with pre…

Action Inference by Maximising Evidence: Zero-Shot Imitation from Observation with World Models

Xingyuan Zhang, Philip Becker-Ehmck, Patrick van der Smagt +1

Unlike most reinforcement learning agents which require an unrealistic amount of environment interactions to learn a new behaviour, humans excel at learning quickly by merely obser…

Learning to Fly via Deep Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

Philip Becker-Ehmck, Maximilian Karl, Jan Peters +1

Learning to control robots without requiring engineered models has been a long-term goal, promising diverse and novel applications. Yet, reinforcement learning has only achieved li…

Switching Linear Dynamics for Variational Bayes Filtering

Philip Becker-Ehmck, Jan Peters, Patrick van der Smagt

System identification of complex and nonlinear systems is a central problem for model predictive control and model-based reinforcement learning. Despite their complexity, such syst…

Unsupervised Real-Time Control through Variational Empowerment

Maximilian Karl, Maximilian Soelch, Philip Becker-Ehmck +3

We introduce a methodology for efficiently computing a lower bound to empowerment, allowing it to be used as an unsupervised cost function for policy learning in real-time control.…
