Imitation Learning and Interactive Learning

We are investigating new imitation learning methods with a focus on multi-modal behavior and learning from very small training sets. In addition, we try to incorporate interactive human feedback such as preferences in the learning process.

New Paper @ ICLR 23: Adversarial Imitation Learning with Preferences

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm that extends Adversarial Imitation Learning to use preferences as a feedback besides demonstrations. Results show that our method can learn from expert and imperfect demonstrations. Experiments show the method's effectiveness on robotic ma benchmarks.
