Causal Imitation Learning under Expert-Observable and Expert-Unobservable Confounding

ICLR 2026poster

We propose a general framework for causal Imitation Learning (IL) with hidden confounders, which subsumes several existing settings. Our framework accounts for two types of hidden confounders: (a) variables observed by the expert but not by the imitator, and (b) confounding noise hidden from both. B…

Learning Decision Policies with Instrumental Variables through Double Machine Learning

ICML 2024poster

A common issue in learning decision-making policies in data-rich settings is spurious correlations in the offline dataset, which can be caused by hidden confounders. Instrumental variable (IV) regression, which utilises a key uncounfounded variable called the instrument, is a standard technique for…

Sample Efficient Model-free Reinforcement Learning from LTL Specifications with Optimality Guarantees

IJCAI 2023poster

Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) is widely used to specify high-level objectives for system policies, and it is highly desirable for autonomous systems to learn the optimal policy with respect to such specifications. However, learning the optimal policy from LTL specifications is not trivial. We present…
