• Abstract: Learning new skills by observing humans' behaviors is an essential capability of AI. In this work, we leverage instructional videos to study humans' decision-making processes, focusing on learning a model to plan goal-directed actions in real-life videos. In contrast to conventional action recognition, goal-directed actions are based on expectations of their outcomes requiring causal knowledge of potential consequences of actions. Thus, integrating the environment structure with goals is critical for solving this task. Previous works learn a single world model will fail to distinguish various tasks, resulting in an ambiguous latent space; planning through it will gradually neglect the desired outcomes since the global information of the future goal degrades quickly as the procedure evolves. We address these limitations with a new formulation of procedure planning and propose novel algorithms to model human behaviors through Bayesian Inference and model-based Imitation Learning. Experiments conducted on real-world instructional videos show that our method can achieve state-of-the-art performance in reaching the indicated goals. Furthermore, the learned contextual information presents interesting features for planning in a latent space.

  We present a new continual learning approach for visual dynamics modeling and explore its efficacy in visual control and forecasting. We first propose the mixture world model that learns task-specific dynamics priors with a mixture of Gaussians, and then introduce a new training strategy to overcome catastrophic forgetting. Our model remarkably outperforms the naive combinations of existing continual learning and visual RL algorithms on DeepMind Control and Meta-World benchmarks with continual visual control tasks.

  One of the fundamental challenges in using a learned forward dynamics model is the mismatch between the objective of the learned model and that of the downstream planner or policy. We propose to direct prediction towards task relevant information, enabling the model to be aware of the current task and encouraging it to only model relevant quantities of the state space. We find that our method more effectively models the relevant parts of the scene conditioned on the goal, and as a result outperforms standard task-agnostic dynamics models and model-free reinforcement learning.
