• Abstract summary: In this work, we introduce Informed Reinforcement Learning, where a structured rulebook is integrated as a knowledge source. We learn trajectories and asses them with a situation-aware reward design, leading to a dynamic reward which allows the agent to learn situations which require controlled traffic rule exceptions.

• Abstract: Reinforcement Learning is a highly active research field with promising advancements. In the field of autonomous driving, however, often very simple scenarios are being examined. Common approaches use non-interpretable control commands as the action space and unstructured reward designs which lack structure. In this work, we introduce Informed Reinforcement Learning, where a structured rulebook is integrated as a knowledge source. We learn trajectories and asses them with a situation-aware reward design, leading to a dynamic reward which allows the agent to learn situations which require controlled traffic rule exceptions. Our method is applicable to arbitrary RL models. We successfully demonstrate high completion rates of complex scenarios with recent model-based agents.

  In this work, we explore the use of an often unused source of auxiliary supervision: language. Inspired by recent advances in transformer-based models, we train agents with an instruction prediction loss that encourages learning temporally extended representations that operate at a high level of abstraction. In further analysis we find that instruction modeling is most important for tasks that require complex reasoning, while understandably offering smaller gains in environments that require simple plans.

  We present a principled approach for a model-free Reinforcement Learning (RL) agent to capture multiple modes of behaviour in an environment. We introduce an extra pseudo-reward term to the reward model, to encourage exploration to areas of state-space different from areas privileged by the optimal policy. We show that we are able to learn useful policies that would have otherwise been missed out on during training, and unavailable to use when executing the control algorithm.

  Reinforcement learning (RL) provides a framework for learning goal-directed policies given user-specified rewards. We propose a new unsupervised RL technique based on an adversarial game which pits two policies against each other to compete over the amount of surprise an RL agent experiences. We show that our method leads to the emergence of complex skills by exhibiting clear phase transitions.

  Training agents usually requires reward functions, but rewards are seldom available in practice and their engineering is challenging and laborious. We propose semi-supervised learning algorithms that learn from limited annotations and incorporate unlabelled data. In our experiments with a simulated robotic arm, we greatly improve upon behavioural cloning and closely approach the performance achieved with ground truth rewards.
