• Abstract summary: In many real-world imitation learning tasks, the demonstrator and the learner have to act in different but full observation spaces. In this work, we model the above learning problem as Heterogeneous Observations Learning (HOIL) We propose the Importance Weighting with REjection (IWRE) algorithm based on the techniques of importance-weighting, learning with rejection, and active querying to solve the key challenge of occupancy measure matching.

• Abstract: In many real-world imitation learning tasks, the demonstrator and the learner have to act in different but full observation spaces. This situation generates significant obstacles for existing imitation learning approaches to work, even when they are combined with traditional space adaptation techniques. The main challenge lies in bridging expert's occupancy measures to learner's dynamically changing occupancy measures under the different observation spaces. In this work, we model the above learning problem as Heterogeneous Observations Imitation Learning (HOIL). We propose the Importance Weighting with REjection (IWRE) algorithm based on the techniques of importance-weighting, learning with rejection, and active querying to solve the key challenge of occupancy measure matching. Experimental results show that IWRE can successfully solve HOIL tasks, including the challenging task of transforming the vision-based demonstrations to random access memory (RAM)-based policies under the Atari domain.

  In Large Visual Language Models (LVLMs) the efficacy of In-Context Learning (ICL) remains limited by challenges in cross-modal interactions and representation disparities. We introduce a novel Visual In-Context Learning (VICL) method comprising Visual Demonstration Retrieval, Intent-Oriented Image Summarization, and Intent-Oriented Demonstration Composition. Our approach retrieves images via ''Retrieval & Rerank'' paradigm, summarises images with task intent and task-specific visual parsing, and composes language-based demonstrations.

  Imitation from observation (IfO) is a learning paradigm that consists of training autonomous agents in a Markov Decision Process. We present BootIfOL, an IfO algorithm that aims to learn a reward function that takes an agent trajectory and compares it to an expert. We evaluate our approach on a variety of control tasks showing that we can train effective policies using a limited number of demonstrative trajectories.

  We present a new method for imitation solely from observations that achieves comparable performance to experts on challenging continuous control tasks. Our method, which we call FORM, is derived from an inverse RL objective and imitates using a model of expert behavior learned by generative modelling of the expert's observations. We show that FORM performs comparably to a strong baseline IRL method (GAIL) on the DeepMind Control Suite benchmark, while outperforming GAIL in the presence of task-irrelevant features.
