Lifelong Policy Gradient Learning of Factored Policies for Faster Training Without Forgetting

NeurIPS 2020poster

Policy gradient methods have shown success in learning control policies for high-dimensional dynamical systems. Their biggest downside is the amount of exploration they require before yielding high-performing policies. In a lifelong learning setting, in which an agent is faced with multiple consecut…

Transfer Learning via Minimizing the Performance Gap Between Domains

NeurIPS 2019poster

We propose a new principle for transfer learning, based on a straightforward intuition: if two domains are similar to each other, the model trained on one domain should also perform well on the other domain, and vice versa. To formalize this intuition, we define the performance gap as a measure of t…
