• Title: Lifelong Inverse Reinforcement Learning
• Authors: Jorge A. Mendez and Shashank Shivkumar and Eric Eaton
• Abstract summary: Methods for learning from demonstration (LfD) have shown success in acquiring behavior policies by imitating a user. For versatile agents that must learn many tasks via demonstration, this process would substantially burden the user if each task were learned in isolation. We propose the first lifelong learning approach to inverse reinforcement learning, which learns consecutive tasks via demonstration, continually transferring knowledge between tasks to improve performance.

• Abstract: Methods for learning from demonstration (LfD) have shown success in acquiring behavior policies by imitating a user. However, even for a single task, LfD may require numerous demonstrations. For versatile agents that must learn many tasks via demonstration, this process would substantially burden the user if each task were learned in isolation. To address this challenge, we introduce the novel problem of lifelong learning from demonstration, which allows the agent to continually build upon knowledge learned from previously demonstrated tasks to accelerate the learning of new tasks, reducing the amount of demonstrations required. As one solution to this problem, we propose the first lifelong learning approach to inverse reinforcement learning, which learns consecutive tasks via demonstration, continually transferring knowledge between tasks to improve performance.

  Multi-task learning often suffers from negative transfer, sharing information that should be task-specific. This is done by using proto-policies as modules to divide the tasks into simple sub-behaviours that can be shared. We also demonstrate its ability to autonomously divide the tasks into both shared and task-specific sub-behaviours.

  We present Learning from Guided Play (LfGP), a framework in which we leverage expert demonstrations of, in addition to a main task, multiple auxiliary tasks. This affords many benefits: learning efficiency is improved for main tasks with challenging bottleneck transitions, expert data becomes reusable between tasks, and transfer learning through the reuse of learned auxiliary task models becomes possible.

  A general-purpose robot should be able to master a wide range of tasks and quickly learn a novel one by leveraging past experiences. One-shot imitation learning (OSIL) approaches this goal by training an agent with (pairs of) expert demonstrations. We push for a higher level of generalization ability by investigating a more ambitious multi-task setup.

We propose Skill-based Learning with Demonstrations (SkiLD), an algorithm for demonstration-guided RL that efficiently leverages the provided demonstrations.

  We propose Automatic Curricula via Expert Demonstrations (ACED) as a reinforcement learning (RL) approach. ACED extracts curricula from expert demonstration trajectories by dividing demonstrations into sections and initializing training episodes to states sampled from different sections of demonstrations. We show that a combination of ACED with behavior cloning allows pick-and-place tasks to be learned with as few as 1 demonstration and block stacking tasks to be learned with 20 demonstrations.
