• Abstract: Imitation Learning techniques enable programming the behavior of agents through demonstrations rather than manual engineering. However, they are limited by the quality of available demonstration data. Interactive Imitation Learning techniques can improve the efficacy of learning since they involve teachers providing feedback while the agent executes its task. In this work, we propose a novel Interactive Learning technique that uses human feedback in state-space to train and improve agent behavior (as opposed to alternative methods that use feedback in action-space). Our method titled Teaching Imitative Policies in State-space~(TIPS) enables providing guidance to the agent in terms of `changing its state' which is often more intuitive for a human demonstrator. Through continuous improvement via corrective feedback, agents trained by non-expert demonstrators using TIPS outperformed the demonstrator and conventional Imitation Learning agents.

  We show how off-policy reinforcement learning can enable improved performance under assumptions that are similar but potentially even more practical than those of interactive imitation learning. Our proposed method uses reinforcement learning with user intervention signals themselves as rewards. This relaxes the assumption that intervening experts in interactive imitation learning should be near-optimal and enables the algorithm to learn behaviors that improve over the potential suboptimal human expert.

  We propose and deploy an approach to continually train an instruction-following agent from feedback provided by users during collaborative interactions. During interaction, human users instruct an agent using natural language, and provide realtime binary feedback as they observe the agent following their instructions. We design a contextual bandit learning approach, converting user feedback to immediate reward. We evaluate through thousands of human-agent interactions, demonstrating 15.4% absolute improvement in instruction execution accuracy over time.

  Learning to perform tasks by leveraging a dataset of expert observations (ILO) is an important paradigm for learning skills without access to the expert reward function or the expert actions. Recent methods for scalable ILO utilize adversarial learning to match the state-transition distributions of the expert and the learner. We propose an algorithm that trains an intermediary policy in the learner environment and uses it as a surrogate expert for the learner.
