The paper proposes a new approach to preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) that enables autonomous agents to learn from humans in complex real-world environments. The authors focus on developing an algorithm, R2N (Robust-to-Noise), that can adapt to task-relevant features and ignore irrelevant distractions. This is achieved by leveraging dynamic sparse training principles to learn robust reward models. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of R2N in a simulated teacher setting, outperforming state-of-the-art PbRL algorithms in multiple locomotion and control environments.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper helps robots learn from people and adapt to their surroundings more effectively. It develops a new algorithm called R2N that can focus on what’s important and ignore distractions. This is useful for robots that need to work with people, like teaching robots or self-driving cars.
