• Abstract: Explicit engineering of reward functions for given environments has been a major hindrance to reinforcement learning methods. While Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is a solution to recover reward functions from demonstrations only, these learned rewards are generally heavily \textit{entangled} with the dynamics of the environment and therefore not portable or \emph{robust} to changing environments. Modern adversarial methods have yielded some success in reducing reward entanglement in the IRL setting. In this work, we leverage one such method, Adversarial Inverse Reinforcement Learning (AIRL), to propose an algorithm that learns hierarchical disentangled rewards with a policy over options. We show that this method has the ability to learn \emph{generalizable} policies and reward functions in complex transfer learning tasks, while yielding results in continuous control benchmarks that are comparable to those of the state-of-the-art methods.

  Reinforcement learning practitioners often utilize complex reward functions that encourage physically plausible behaviors. We propose substituting complex reward functions with "style rewards" learned from a dataset of motion capture demonstrations. A learned style reward can be combined with an arbitrary task reward to train policies that perform tasks using naturalistic strategies.

  In reinforcement learning, the graph Laplacian has proved to be a valuable tool in the task-agnostic setting. We propose an alternative method that is able to recover, in a non-uniform-prior setting, the expressiveness and the desired properties of the Laplacian representation. We find that our method succeeds as an alternative to the Laplacian in the non-uniform setting and scales to challenging continuous control environments.

  Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is attractive in scenarios where reward engineering can be tedious. Prior IRL algorithms use on-policy transitions, which require intensive sampling from the current policy for stable and optimal performance. We present Off-Policy Inverse Reinforcement Learning (OPIRL), which adopts off-policy data distribution instead of on-policy.
