Learning to Guide and to be Guided in the Architect-Builder Problem

ICLR 2022poster

We are interested in interactive agents that learn to coordinate, namely, a $builder$ -- which performs actions but ignores the goal of the task, i.e. has no access to rewards -- and an $architect$ which guides the builder towards the goal of the task. We define and explore a formal setting where a…

Regularized Inverse Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2021spotlight

Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) aims to facilitate a learner’s ability to imitate expert behavior by acquiring reward functions that explain the expert’s decisions. Regularized IRLapplies strongly convex regularizers to the learner’s policy in order to avoid the expert’s behavior being rational…

Adversarial Soft Advantage Fitting: Imitation Learning without Policy Optimization

NeurIPS 2020spotlight

Adversarial Imitation Learning alternates between learning a discriminator -- which tells apart expert's demonstrations from generated ones -- and a generator's policy to produce trajectories that can fool this discriminator. This alternated optimization is known to be delicate in practice since it…

Promoting Coordination through Policy Regularization in Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2020poster

In multi-agent reinforcement learning, discovering successful collective behaviors is challenging as it requires exploring a joint action space that grows exponentially with the number of agents. While the tractability of independent agent-wise exploration is appealing, this approach fails on tasks…
