• Title: Open Problems and Modern Solutions for Deep Reinforcement Learning
• Authors: Weiqin Chen
• Abstract summary: We review two publications that investigate the mentioned issues of DRL and propose effective solutions. One designs the reward for human-robot collaboration by combining the manually designed extrinsic reward with a parameterized intrinsic reward function. The other one applies selective attention and particle filters to rapidly and flexibly attend to and select crucial pre-learned features for DRL using approximate inference instead of backpropagation.

• Abstract: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has achieved great success in solving complicated decision-making problems. Despite the successes, DRL is frequently criticized for many reasons, e.g., data inefficient, inflexible and intractable reward design. In this paper, we review two publications that investigate the mentioned issues of DRL and propose effective solutions. One designs the reward for human-robot collaboration by combining the manually designed extrinsic reward with a parameterized intrinsic reward function via the deterministic policy gradient, which improves the task performance and guarantees a stronger obstacle avoidance. The other one applies selective attention and particle filters to rapidly and flexibly attend to and select crucial pre-learned features for DRL using approximate inference instead of backpropagation, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of DRL. Potential avenues for future work in both domains are discussed in this paper.

  A misalignment between the reward function and user intentions, values, or social norms can be catastrophic in the real world. Current methods to mitigate this misalignment work by learning reward functions from human preferences. We propose a novel concept of reward regularization within the robotic RLHF framework.

• Pessimistic Model Selection for Offline Deep Reinforcement Learning [56.282483586473816]
  Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has demonstrated great potentials in solving sequential decision making problems in many applications. One main barrier is the over-fitting issue that leads to poor generalizability of the policy learned by DRL. We propose a pessimistic model selection (PMS) approach for offline DRL with a theoretical guarantee.

  In real-world tasks, reinforcement learning agents encounter situations that are not present during training time.

We propose the Robust Hallucinated Upper-Confidence RL (RH-UCRL) algorithm to provably solve this problem.
