• Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has experienced a second wind in the past decade. While incredibly successful in images and videos, these systems still operate within the realm of propositional tasks ignoring the inherent structure that exists in the problem. Consequently, relational extensions (RRL) have been developed for such structured problems that allow for effective generalization to arbitrary number of objects. However, they inherently make strong assumptions about the problem structure. We introduce a novel framework that combines RRL with object-centric representation to handle both structured and unstructured data. We enhance learning by allowing the system to actively query the human expert for guidance by explicitly modeling the uncertainty over the policy. Our empirical evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed approach.

  Reinforcement Learning (RL), bolstered by the expressive capabilities of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for function approximation, has demonstrated considerable success in numerous applications. However, its practicality in addressing various real-world scenarios, characterized by diverse and unpredictable dynamics, remains limited. This limitation stems from poor data efficiency, limited generalization capabilities, a lack of safety guarantees, and the absence of interpretability.
