Episodic Novelty Through Temporal Distance

ICLR 2025poster

Exploration in sparse reward environments remains a significant challenge in reinforcement learning, particularly in Contextual Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs), where environments differ across episodes. Existing episodic intrinsic motivation methods for CMDPs primarily rely on count-based approac…

Efficient Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning by Planning

ICLR 2024poster

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have accomplished remarkable breakthroughs in solving large-scale decision-making tasks. Nonetheless, most existing MARL algorithms are model-free, limiting sample efficiency and hindering their applicability in more challenging scenarios. In cont…

Learning Diverse Risk Preferences in Population-Based Self-Play

AAAI 2024technical

Among the remarkable successes of Reinforcement Learning (RL), self-play algorithms have played a crucial role in solving competitive games. However, current self-play RL methods commonly optimize the agent to maximize the expected win-rates against its current or historical copies, resulting in a l…

NeuralPlane: An Efficiently Parallelizable Platform for Fixed-wing Aircraft Control with Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2024poster

Reinforcement learning (RL) demonstrates superior potential over traditional flight control methods for fixed-wing aircraft, particularly under extreme operational conditions. However, the high demand for training samples and the lack of efficient computation in existing simulators hinder its furthe…

Offline Reinforcement Learning with Value-based Episodic Memory

ICLR 2022poster

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) shows promise of applying RL to real-world problems by effectively utilizing previously collected data. Most existing offline RL algorithms use regularization or constraints to suppress extrapolation error for actions outside the dataset. In this paper, we adopt a…

Safe Opponent-Exploitation Subgame Refinement

NeurIPS 2022accept

In zero-sum games, an NE strategy tends to be overly conservative confronted with opponents of limited rationality, because it does not actively exploit their weaknesses. From another perspective, best responding to an estimated opponent model is vulnerable to estimation errors and lacks safety guar…
