Sample Efficient Actor-Critic with Experience Replay

8 code implementations3 Nov 2016 Ziyu Wang, Victor Bapst, Nicolas Heess, Volodymyr Mnih, Remi Munos, Koray Kavukcuoglu, Nando de Freitas

This paper presents an actor-critic deep reinforcement learning agent with experience replay that is stable, sample efficient, and performs remarkably well on challenging environments, including the discrete 57-game Atari domain and several continuous control problems.

Hyperbolic Attention Networks

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Caglar Gulcehre, Misha Denil, Mateusz Malinowski, Ali Razavi, Razvan Pascanu, Karl Moritz Hermann, Peter Battaglia, Victor Bapst, David Raposo, Adam Santoro, Nando de Freitas

We introduce hyperbolic attention networks to endow neural networks with enough capacity to match the complexity of data with hierarchical and power-law structure.

Relational inductive bias for physical construction in humans and machines

no code implementations4 Jun 2018 Jessica B. Hamrick, Kelsey R. Allen, Victor Bapst, Tina Zhu, Kevin R. McKee, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Peter W. Battaglia

While current deep learning systems excel at tasks such as object classification, language processing, and gameplay, few can construct or modify a complex system such as a tower of blocks.

Relational Deep Reinforcement Learning

7 code implementations5 Jun 2018 Vinicius Zambaldi, David Raposo, Adam Santoro, Victor Bapst, Yujia Li, Igor Babuschkin, Karl Tuyls, David Reichert, Timothy Lillicrap, Edward Lockhart, Murray Shanahan, Victoria Langston, Razvan Pascanu, Matthew Botvinick, Oriol Vinyals, Peter Battaglia

We introduce an approach for deep reinforcement learning (RL) that improves upon the efficiency, generalization capacity, and interpretability of conventional approaches through structured perception and relational reasoning.

Structured agents for physical construction

no code implementations5 Apr 2019 Victor Bapst, Alvaro Sanchez-Gonzalez, Carl Doersch, Kimberly L. Stachenfeld, Pushmeet Kohli, Peter W. Battaglia, Jessica B. Hamrick

Our results show that agents which use structured representations (e. g., objects and scene graphs) and structured policies (e. g., object-centric actions) outperform those which use less structured representations, and generalize better beyond their training when asked to reason about larger scenes.

Deep reinforcement learning with relational inductive biases

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Vinicius Zambaldi, David Raposo, Adam Santoro, Victor Bapst, Yujia Li, Igor Babuschkin, Karl Tuyls, David Reichert, Timothy Lillicrap, Edward Lockhart, Murray Shanahan, Victoria Langston, Razvan Pascanu, Matthew Botvinick, Oriol Vinyals, Peter Battaglia

We introduce an approach for augmenting model-free deep reinforcement learning agents with a mechanism for relational reasoning over structured representations, which improves performance, learning efficiency, generalization, and interpretability.

We introduce an approach for imposing physically informed inductive biases in learned simulation models.

Object-oriented state editing for HRL

no code implementations31 Oct 2019 Victor Bapst, Alvaro Sanchez-Gonzalez, Omar Shams, Kimberly Stachenfeld, Peter W. Battaglia, Satinder Singh, Jessica B. Hamrick

We introduce agents that use object-oriented reasoning to consider alternate states of the world in order to more quickly find solutions to problems.
