• Abstract: Imitation learning is a widely used policy learning method that enables intelligent agents to acquire complex skills from expert demonstrations. The input to the imitation learning algorithm is usually composed of both the current observation and historical observations since the most recent observation might not contain enough information. This is especially the case with image observations, where a single image only includes one view of the scene, and it suffers from a lack of motion information and object occlusions. In theory, providing multiple observations to the imitation learning agent will lead to better performance. However, surprisingly people find that sometimes imitation from observation histories performs worse than imitation from the most recent observation. In this paper, we explain this phenomenon from the information flow within the neural network perspective. We also propose a novel imitation learning neural network architecture that does not suffer from this issue by design. Furthermore, our method scales to high-dimensional image observations. Finally, we benchmark our approach on two widely used simulators, CARLA and MuJoCo, and it successfully alleviates the copycat problem and surpasses the existing solutions.

  This paper proposes a novel neural-network-based approach to progressively and autonomously develop pixel-wise representations in a video stream.

Our experiments leverage 3D virtual environments and they show that the proposed agents can learn to distinguish objects just by observing the video stream.

  We propose to decouple representation learning from behavior learning for visual imitation. First, we learn a visual representation encoder from offline data using standard supervised and self-supervised learning methods. We experimentally show that this simple decoupling improves the performance of visual imitation models on both offline demonstration datasets and real-robot door opening compared to prior work in visual imitation.
