• Abstract summary: This paper proposes an uncertainty-based Meta-Reinforcement Learning (Meta-RL) approach with Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection. Using information about its complexity, the proposed algorithm is able to point out when tracking is reliable. There, we show that our method outperforms related Meta-RL approaches on unseen tracking scenarios in peak performance by 16% and the baseline by 35%.

• Abstract: Nowadays, Deep Learning (DL) methods often overcome the limitations of traditional signal processing approaches. Nevertheless, DL methods are barely applied in real-life applications. This is mainly due to limited robustness and distributional shift between training and test data. To this end, recent work has proposed uncertainty mechanisms to increase their reliability. Besides, meta-learning aims at improving the generalization capability of DL models. By taking advantage of that, this paper proposes an uncertainty-based Meta-Reinforcement Learning (Meta-RL) approach with Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection. The presented method performs a given task in unseen environments and provides information about its complexity. This is done by determining first and second-order statistics on the estimated reward. Using information about its complexity, the proposed algorithm is able to point out when tracking is reliable. To evaluate the proposed method, we benchmark it on a radar-tracking dataset. There, we show that our method outperforms related Meta-RL approaches on unseen tracking scenarios in peak performance by 16% and the baseline by 35% while detecting OOD data with an F1-Score of 72%. This shows that our method is robust to environmental changes and reliably detects OOD scenarios.

  A major challenge of reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world applications is the variation between environments, tasks or clients. Standard MRL methods optimize the average return over tasks, but often suffer from poor results in tasks of high risk or difficulty. In this work, we define a robust MRL objective with a controlled level. The data inefficiency is addressed via the novel Robust Meta RL algorithm (RoML)

  Real-world machine learning deployments are characterized by mismatches between the source (training) and target (test) distributions. In this work, we investigate methods for predicting the target domain accuracy using only labeled source data and unlabeled target data. We propose Average Thresholded Confidence (ATC), a practical method that learns a threshold on the model's confidence, predicting accuracy as the fraction of unlabeled examples.

  offline estimation of the dynamical model of a Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a non-trivial task. Recent works showed that an expert-guided pipeline relying on Density Estimation methods effectively detects this structure in deterministic environments. We show that the former results lead to a performance improvement when solving the learned MDP and then applying the optimized policy in the real environment.

  We introduce a novel meta-learning framework, called F-PACOH, that treats meta-learned priors as processes and performs meta-level regularization directly in the function space. This allows us to directly steer the predictions of the meta-learner towards high uncertainty in regions of insufficient meta-training data and, thus, obtain well-calibrated uncertainty estimates.

• Uncertainty Weighted Actor-Critic for Offline Reinforcement Learning [63.53407136812255]
  Offline Reinforcement Learning promises to learn effective policies from previously-collected, static datasets without the need for exploration. Existing Q-learning and actor-critic based off-policy RL algorithms fail when bootstrapping from out-of-distribution (OOD) actions or states. We propose Uncertainty Weighted Actor-Critic (UWAC), an algorithm that detects OOD state-action pairs and down-weights their contribution in the training objectives accordingly.
