• Authors: Zhaori Guo, Timothy J. Norman, and Enrico H. Gerding
• Abstract summary: We propose a more effective interactive reinforcement learning system by introducing multiple trainers. In particular, our trainer feedback aggregation experiments show that our aggregation method has the best accuracy. Finally, we conduct a grid-world experiment to show that the policy trained by the MTIRL with the review model is closer to the optimal policy than that without a review model.

• Abstract: Interactive reinforcement learning can effectively facilitate the agent training via human feedback. However, such methods often require the human teacher to know what is the correct action that the agent should take. In other words, if the human teacher is not always reliable, then it will not be consistently able to guide the agent through its training. In this paper, we propose a more effective interactive reinforcement learning system by introducing multiple trainers, namely Multi-Trainer Interactive Reinforcement Learning (MTIRL), which could aggregate the binary feedback from multiple non-perfect trainers into a more reliable reward for an agent training in a reward-sparse environment. In particular, our trainer feedback aggregation experiments show that our aggregation method has the best accuracy when compared with the majority voting, the weighted voting, and the Bayesian method. Finally, we conduct a grid-world experiment to show that the policy trained by the MTIRL with the review model is closer to the optimal policy than that without a review model.

  Direct alignment from preferences (DAP) methods have recently emerged as efficient alternatives to reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) In this study, we posit that online feedback is key and improves DAP methods. Our method, online AI feedback (OAIF) uses an LLM as annotator: on each training, we sample two responses from the current model and prompt the LLM annotator to choose which one is preferred, thus providing online feedback.

• RLIF: Interactive Imitation Learning as Reinforcement Learning [56.997263135104504]
  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.

  This paper presents a new method that uses scores provided by humans instead of pairwise preferences to improve the feedback efficiency of interactive reinforcement learning. We show that the proposed method can efficiently learn near-optimal policies by adaptive learning from scores while requiring less feedback compared to pairwise preference learning methods.

  We study how a principal can efficiently and effectively intervene on the rewards of a previously unseen learning agent in order to induce desirable outcomes. This is relevant to many real-world settings like auctions or taxation, where the principal may not know the learning behavior nor the rewards of real people. We introduce MERMAIDE, a model-based meta-learning framework to train a principal that can quickly adapt to out-of-distribution agents.

We aim to rely on a group of multiple experts with different skill levels to generate enough feedback.

  Deep Interactive Reinforcement Learning (DeepIRL) includes interactive feedback from an external trainer or expert giving advice to help learners choosing actions to speed up the learning process. In this paper, we present Broad-persistent Advising (BPA), a broad-persistent advising approach that retains and reuses the processed information. It not only helps trainers to give more general advice relevant to similar states instead of only the current state but also allows the agent to speed up the learning process.

  We investigate the potential of agent learning from trainers' facial expressions via interpreting them as evaluative feedback.

Our results with a simulation experiment show that learning solely from predicted feedback based on facial expressions is possible.
