States as Strings as Strategies: Steering Language Models with Game-Theoretic Solvers
A suitable model of the players, strategies, and payoffs associated with linguistic interactions (i. e., a binding to the conventional symbolic logic of game theory) would enable existing game-theoretic algorithms to provide strategic solutions in the space of language.
Multiplicative Controller Fusion: Leveraging Algorithmic Priors for Sample-efficient Reinforcement Learning and Safe Sim-To-Real Transfer
We present a novel approach to model-free reinforcement learning that can leverage existing sub-optimal solutions as an algorithmic prior during training and deployment.
Sim-to-Real Transfer of Robot Learning with Variable Length Inputs
Current end-to-end deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches require jointly learning perception, decision-making and low-level control from very sparse reward signals and high-dimensional inputs, with little capability of incorporating prior knowledge.
Residual Reactive Navigation: Combining Classical and Learned Navigation Strategies For Deployment in Unknown Environments
In this work we focus on improving the efficiency and generalisation of learned navigation strategies when transferred from its training environment to previously unseen ones.
Ctrl-Z: Recovering from Instability in Reinforcement Learning
When learning behavior, training data is often generated by the learner itself; this can result in unstable training dynamics, and this problem has particularly important applications in safety-sensitive real-world control tasks such as robotics.
Evaluating task-agnostic exploration for fixed-batch learning of arbitrary future tasks
Deep reinforcement learning has been shown to solve challenging tasks where large amounts of training experience is available, usually obtained online while learning the task.
Bayesian Controller Fusion: Leveraging Control Priors in Deep Reinforcement Learning for Robotics
More importantly, given the risk-aversity of the control prior, BCF ensures safe exploration and deployment, where the control prior naturally dominates the action distribution in states unknown to the policy.
Is Curiosity All You Need? On the Utility of Emergent Behaviours from Curious Exploration
Curiosity-based reward schemes can present powerful exploration mechanisms which facilitate the discovery of solutions for complex, sparse or long-horizon tasks.
Zero-Shot Uncertainty-Aware Deployment of Simulation Trained Policies on Real-World Robots
While deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents have demonstrated incredible potential in attaining dexterous behaviours for robotics, they tend to make errors when deployed in the real world due to mismatches between the training and execution environments.
The Challenges of Exploration for Offline Reinforcement Learning
Offline Reinforcement Learning (ORL) enablesus to separately study the two interlinked processes of reinforcement learning: collecting informative experience and inferring optimal behaviour.
Developing, Evaluating and Scaling Learning Agents in Multi-Agent Environments
The Game Theory & Multi-Agent team at DeepMind studies several aspects of multi-agent learning ranging from computing approximations to fundamental concepts in game theory to simulating social dilemmas in rich spatial environments and training 3-d humanoids in difficult team coordination tasks.
Human-Timescale Adaptation in an Open-Ended Task Space
Foundation models have shown impressive adaptation and scalability in supervised and self-supervised learning problems, but so far these successes have not fully translated to reinforcement learning (RL).
