• Authors: Steffen Gracla, Edgar Beck, Carsten Bockelmann, Armin Dekorsy
• Abstract summary: We use weight anchoring to cultivate and fixate desired behavior in Neural Networks. Weight anchoring may be used to find a solution to a learning problem that is nearby the solution of another learning problem. Results show that this method provides performance comparable to the state of the art of augmenting a simulation environment.

• Abstract: Questions remain on the robustness of data-driven learning methods when crossing the gap from simulation to reality. We utilize weight anchoring, a method known from continual learning, to cultivate and fixate desired behavior in Neural Networks. Weight anchoring may be used to find a solution to a learning problem that is nearby the solution of another learning problem. Thereby, learning can be carried out in optimal environments without neglecting or unlearning desired behavior. We demonstrate this approach on the example of learning mixed QoS-efficient discrete resource scheduling with infrequent priority messages. Results show that this method provides performance comparable to the state of the art of augmenting a simulation environment, alongside significantly increased robustness and steerability.

  We propose an adaptive adversarial coefficient framework to adjust the effect of the adversarial perturbation during training. The appealing feature of our method is that it is simple to deploy in real-world applications and does not require accessing the simulator in advance. The experiments in MuJoCo show that our method can improve the training stability and learn a robust policy when migrated to different test environments.

  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.

  We study regenerative stopping problems in which the system starts anew whenever the controller decides to stop and the long-term average cost is to be minimized. Traditional model-based solutions involve estimating the underlying process from data and computing strategies for the estimated model. We compare such solutions to deep reinforcement learning and imitation learning which involve learning a neural network policy from simulations.
