• Abstract summary: We explore the capability of an agent to construct a logical sequence of action steps, thereby assembling a strategic procedural plan. This plan is crucial for navigating from an initial visual observation to a target visual outcome, as depicted in real-life instructional videos. We coin our approach KEPP, a novel Knowledge-Enhanced Procedure Planning system, which harnesses a probabilistic procedural knowledge graph extracted from training data.

• Abstract: In this paper, we explore the capability of an agent to construct a logical sequence of action steps, thereby assembling a strategic procedural plan. This plan is crucial for navigating from an initial visual observation to a target visual outcome, as depicted in real-life instructional videos. Existing works have attained partial success by extensively leveraging various sources of information available in the datasets, such as heavy intermediate visual observations, procedural names, or natural language step-by-step instructions, for features or supervision signals. However, the task remains formidable due to the implicit causal constraints in the sequencing of steps and the variability inherent in multiple feasible plans. To tackle these intricacies that previous efforts have overlooked, we propose to enhance the capabilities of the agent by infusing it with procedural knowledge. This knowledge, sourced from training procedure plans and structured as a directed weighted graph, equips the agent to better navigate the complexities of step sequencing and its potential variations. We coin our approach KEPP, a novel Knowledge-Enhanced Procedure Planning system, which harnesses a probabilistic procedural knowledge graph extracted from training data, effectively acting as a comprehensive textbook for the training domain. Experimental evaluations across three widely-used datasets under settings of varying complexity reveal that KEPP attains superior, state-of-the-art results while requiring only minimal supervision.

  REVEAL-IT is a novel framework for explaining the learning process of an agent in complex environments.

  Key challenge in procedure understanding is to be able to extract from unlabeled videos the procedural knowledge. Our main insight is that instructional videos depict sequences of steps that repeat between instances of the same or different tasks. This graph can then be used to generate pseudo labels to train a video representation that encodes the procedural knowledge in a more accessible form.

We leverage an infeasible subsequence property to prune candidate plans in the active learning strategy, allowing our system to learn from less data. In a stacking domain where objects have non-uniform mass distributions, we show that our system permits real robot learning of an APF model in four hundred self-supervised interactions.

• Self-Imitation Learning by Planning [3.996275177789895]
  Imitation learning (IL) enables robots to acquire skills quickly by transferring expert knowledge. In long-horizon motion planning tasks, a challenging problem in deploying IL and RL methods is how to generate and collect massive, broadly distributed data. We propose self-imitation learning by planning (SILP), where demonstration data are collected automatically by planning on the visited states from the current policy. SILP is inspired by the observation that successfully visited states in the early reinforcement learning stage are collision-free nodes in the graph-search based motion planner.
