We propose Algorithm Distillation (AD), a method for distilling reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms into neural networks by modeling their training histories with a causal sequence model. Algorithm Distillation treats learning to reinforcement learn as an across-episode sequential prediction prob…
In this paper, we introduce a novel form of value function, $Q(s, s’)$, that expresses the utility of transitioning from a state $s$ to a neighboring state $s’$ and then acting optimally thereafter. In order to derive an optimal policy, we develop a forward dynamics model that learns to make next-st…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms typically require millions of environment interactions to learn successful policies in sparse reward settings. Hindsight Experience Replay (HER) was introduced as a technique to increase sample efficiency by reimagining unsuccessful trajectories as successful o…
In this paper, we describe a novel approach to imitation learning that infers latent policies directly from state observations. We introduce a method that characterizes the causal effects of latent actions on observations while simultaneously predicting their likelihood. We then outline an action al…
