• Abstract summary: We propose a masked model for pre-training in RL, RePreM, which trains the encoder combined with transformer blocks to predict the masked states or actions in a trajectory. We show that RePreM scales well with dataset size, dataset quality, and the scale of the encoder, which indicates its potential towards big RL models.

• Abstract: Inspired by the recent success of sequence modeling in RL and the use of masked language model for pre-training, we propose a masked model for pre-training in RL, RePreM (Representation Pre-training with Masked Model), which trains the encoder combined with transformer blocks to predict the masked states or actions in a trajectory. RePreM is simple but effective compared to existing representation pre-training methods in RL. It avoids algorithmic sophistication (such as data augmentation or estimating multiple models) with sequence modeling and generates a representation that captures long-term dynamics well. Empirically, we demonstrate the effectiveness of RePreM in various tasks, including dynamic prediction, transfer learning, and sample-efficient RL with both value-based and actor-critic methods. Moreover, we show that RePreM scales well with dataset size, dataset quality, and the scale of the encoder, which indicates its potential towards big RL models.

  We introduce Discrete Denoising Posterior Prediction (DDPP), a novel framework that casts the task of steering pre-trained MDMs as a problem of probabilistic inference. Our framework leads to a family of three novel objectives that are all simulation-free, and thus scalable. We substantiate our designs via wet-lab validation, where we observe transient expression of reward-optimized protein sequences.

  Masked particle modeling (MPM) is a self-supervised learning scheme for constructing expressive representations of unordered sets. We improve MPM by addressing inefficiencies in the implementation and incorporating a more powerful decoder. We show that these new methods outperform the tokenized learning objective from the original MPM on a new test bed for foundation models for jets.

We theoretically analyze PMA and empirically demonstrate that PMA leads to significant improvements over prior unsupervised model-based RL approaches.
