• Abstract summary: We present two different training strategies: Curriculum Inverse Reinforcement Learning (CIRL) covering the teacher's perspective, and Self-Paced Inverse Reinforcement Learning (SPIRL) focusing on the learner's perspective. Using experiments in simulations and experiments with a real robot learning a task from a human demonstrator, we show that our training strategies can allow a faster training than a random teacher for CIRL and than a batch learner for SPIRL.

• Abstract: This paper proposes an inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) framework to accelerate learning when the learner-teacher \textit{interaction} is \textit{limited} during training. Our setting is motivated by the realistic scenarios where a helpful teacher is not available or when the teacher cannot access the learning dynamics of the student. We present two different training strategies: Curriculum Inverse Reinforcement Learning (CIRL) covering the teacher's perspective, and Self-Paced Inverse Reinforcement Learning (SPIRL) focusing on the learner's perspective. Using experiments in simulations and experiments with a real robot learning a task from a human demonstrator, we show that our training strategies can allow a faster training than a random teacher for CIRL and than a batch learner for SPIRL.

  We propose spire, a system that decomposes tasks into smaller learning subproblems and second combines imitation and reinforcement learning to maximize their strengths. We find that spire outperforms prior approaches that integrate imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and planning by 35% to 50% in average task performance.

  Reinforcement learning (rl) is a popular paradigm for sequential decision making problems. The sample inefficiency of deep reinforcement learning methods is a significant obstacle when applying rl to real-world problems. We propose a teacher-student curriculum learning setting where we simultaneously train a teacher that selects tasks for the student while the student learns how to solve the selected task.

  We develop a unifying meta-learning framework, called Reinforcement Teaching, to improve the learning process of machine learning algorithms. Under Reinforcement Teaching, a teaching policy is learned, through reinforcement, to improve a student's learning algorithm. To demonstrate the generality of Reinforcement Teaching, we conduct experiments in which a teacher learns to significantly improve both reinforcement and supervised learning algorithms.

Based on how the student performs on a validation dataset, the teacher re-learns its model and re-teaches the student until the student achieves great validation performance.

  We develop efficient reinforcement learning methods that acquire diverse skills without any reward function, and then repurpose these skills for downstream tasks. We show that our proposed algorithm provides substantial improvement in learning efficiency, making reward-free real-world training feasible. We also demonstrate that the learned skills can be composed using model predictive control for goal-oriented navigation, without any additional training.
