Supervise Thyself: Examining Self-Supervised Representations in Interactive Environments

2 code implementations27 Jun 2019 Evan Racah, Christopher Pal

Self-supervised methods, wherein an agent learns representations solely by observing the results of its actions, become crucial in environments which do not provide a dense reward signal or have labels.

The LoCA Regret: A Consistent Metric to Evaluate Model-Based Behavior in Reinforcement Learning

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Harm van Seijen, Hadi Nekoei, Evan Racah, Sarath Chandar

For example, the common single-task sample-efficiency metric conflates improvements due to model-based learning with various other aspects, such as representation learning, making it difficult to assess true progress on model-based RL.
