• Abstract summary: We argue that such a learning scenario is less realistic since a robotic agent is supposed to learn the world continuously as it explores and perceives it. We propose two continual learning setups for embodied agents; learning new behaviors and new environments.

• Abstract: In learning an embodied agent executing daily tasks via language directives, the literature largely assumes that the agent learns all training data at the beginning. We argue that such a learning scenario is less realistic since a robotic agent is supposed to learn the world continuously as it explores and perceives it. To take a step towards a more realistic embodied agent learning scenario, we propose two continual learning setups for embodied agents; learning new behaviors (Behavior Incremental Learning, Behavior-IL) and new environments (Environment Incremental Learning, Environment-IL) For the tasks, previous 'data prior' based continual learning methods maintain logits for the past tasks. However, the stored information is often insufficiently learned information and requires task boundary information, which might not always be available. Here, we propose to update them based on confidence scores without task boundary information during training (i.e., task-free) in a moving average fashion, named Confidence-Aware Moving Average (CAMA). In the proposed Behavior-IL and Environment-IL setups, our simple CAMA outperforms prior state of the art in our empirical validations by noticeable margins.

  Continual learning allows models to learn from new data while retaining previously learned knowledge. The semantic knowledge available in the label information of the images, offers important semantic information that can be related with previously acquired knowledge of semantic classes. We propose integrating semantic guidance within and across tasks by capturing semantic similarity using text embeddings.

  "Online" continual learning enables evaluating both information retention and online learning efficacy. In online continual learning, each incoming small batch of data is first used for testing and then added to the training set, making the problem truly online. We introduce a new benchmark for online continual visual learning that exhibits large scale and natural distribution shifts.

  We show that we can reuse prior data to extend new skills simply through dynamic programming. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by chaining together several behaviors seen in prior datasets for solving a new task. We train our policies in an end-to-end fashion, mapping high-dimensional image observations to low-level robot control commands.
