Limitations of Agents Simulated by Predictive Models

no code implementations8 Feb 2024 Raymond Douglas, Jacek Karwowski, Chan Bae, Andis Draguns, Victoria Krakovna

Prior work has shown theoretically that models fail to imitate agents that generated the training data if the agents relied on hidden observations: the hidden observations act as confounding variables, and the models treat actions they generate as evidence for nonexistent observations.

Goodhart's Law in Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations13 Oct 2023 Jacek Karwowski, Oliver Hayman, Xingjian Bai, Klaus Kiendlhofer, Charlie Griffin, Joar Skalse

First, we propose a way to quantify the magnitude of this effect and show empirically that optimising an imperfect proxy reward often leads to the behaviour predicted by Goodhart's law for a wide range of environments and reward functions.
