The novel framework ABductive Imitation Learning (ABIL) combines the strengths of data-driven learning and symbolic-based reasoning to enable long-horizon planning. It employs abductive reasoning to understand demonstrations in symbolic space, designs principles for sequential consistency to resolve conflicts between perception and reasoning, and generates predicate candidates to facilitate the perception from raw observations to symbolic space without laborious predicate annotations. The policy ensemble built with different logical objectives and managed through symbolic reasoning demonstrates improved data efficiency and generalization across various long-horizon tasks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
ABIL helps plan for a long time by combining two good ideas: learning from examples (like humans do) and using rules (like computers do). It takes in things that people or machines have done before and tries to figure out why they did it. Then, it uses this understanding to make new plans, even if those plans are really long-term. This helps with tasks like making a robot plan how to get from point A to point B while avoiding obstacles.
