In this paper, researchers propose a novel approach to Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (PbRL) that addresses the issue of relying heavily on high-quality feedback from domain experts. The proposed algorithm, RIME, utilizes a sample selection-based discriminator to filter out noise and ensure robust training. Additionally, a warm start is suggested for the reward model to counteract cumulative error. Experimental results demonstrate improved robustness in robotic manipulation and locomotion tasks.

PbRL lets robots learn from what humans like or dislike! But current methods need expert help to work well. This paper fixes that by creating an algorithm called RIME. It’s like a filter that helps the robot ignore bad advice and only listen to good feedback. The researchers tested it on robots doing tasks, and it worked better than before!
