• Abstract: The development of ethical AI systems is currently geared toward setting objective functions that align with human objectives. However, finding such functions remains a research challenge, while in RL, setting rewards by hand is a fairly standard approach. We present a methodology for dynamic value alignment, where the values that are to be aligned with are dynamically changing, using a multiple-objective approach. We apply this approach to extend Deep $Q$-Learning to accommodate multiple objectives and evaluate this method on a simplified two-leg intersection controlled by a switching agent.Our approach dynamically accommodates the preferences of drivers on the system and achieves better overall performance across three metrics (speeds, stops, and waits) while integrating objectives that have competing or conflicting actions.

  Alignment in artificial intelligence pursues consistency between model responses and human preferences as well as values. Existing alignment techniques are mostly unidirectional, leading to suboptimal trade-offs and poor flexibility over various objectives. We introduce controllable preference optimization (CPO), which explicitly specifies preference scores for different objectives.

  This study presents a comparative analysis between single-objective and multi-objective reinforcement learning methods for training a robot to navigate effectively to an end goal. By modifying the reward function to return a vector of rewards, each pertaining to a distinct objective, the robot learns a policy that effectively balances the different goals.

  We investigate the challenge of parametrizing policies for reinforcement learning in high-dimensional continuous action spaces. We propose a principled framework that models the continuous RL policy as a generative model of optimal trajectories. We present a practical model-based RL method, which leverages the multimodal policy parameterization and learned world model.

  We explore a connection between off-policy reinforcement learning in goal-conditioned settings and knowledge distillation. We empirically show that this can improve the performance of goal-conditioned off-policy reinforcement learning when the space of goals is high-dimensional. We also show that this technique can be adapted to allow for efficient learning in the case of multiple simultaneous sparse goals.

  This study aims to address the limitation by augmenting the reward value with additional supervisory signals about object dynamics. Specifically,we define a distance measure between the trajectory of two target objects, and use this distance measure to characterize the similarity of two environment rollouts. We train the model to correctly rank rollouts according to this measure in addition to predicting the correct reward.

  Continually solving new, unsolved tasks is the key to learning diverse behaviors. In the multi-task domain, where an agent needs to reach multiple goals, the choice of training goals can largely affect sample efficiency. We propose setting up an automatic curriculum for goals that the agent needs to solve. We evaluate our method across 13 multi-goal robotic tasks and 5 navigation tasks, and demonstrate performance gains over current state-of-the-art methods.
