Decision Awareness
in Reinforcement Learning

Workshop at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2022

July 22, HALL G T2500 at the Baltimore Convention Center

@DARL_ICML · #DARL_workshop_ICML2022


Summary

This workshop is about decision awareness in RL, which we refer to as the knowledge that each of the components of an RL system should be explicitly trained to help the agent take the optimal action. Classical examples of decision awareness include:

  • Learning aspects of the dynamics that are important for decision making and not modelling irrelevant parts of the world
  • Training a critic to directly aid policy optimization instead of focusing on return prediction only
  • Addressing the sequence of learning problems faced by an agent in its entirety instead of treating them in isolation
  • Meta-learning algorithmic components that optimize the learning progress itself
