在环境抽象中进行高级搜索来指导低水平决策，这是一种有效的方法，是解决连续状态和行动空间中的长途任务的有效方法。最近的工作表明，可以以符号操作员和神经采样器的形式学习使这种二聚体计划的动作抽象，并且鉴于实现已知目标的符号谓词和演示。在这项工作中，我们表明，在动作往往会导致大量谓词发生变化的环境中，现有的方法不足。为了解决这个问题，我们建议学习具有忽略效果的操作员。激发我们方法的关键思想是，对谓词的每一个观察到的变化进行建模是不必要的。唯一需要建模的更改是高级搜索以实现指定目标所需的更改。在实验上，我们表明我们的方法能够学习具有忽略六个混合机器人域效果的操作员，这些企业能够解决一个代理，以解决具有不同初始状态，目标和对象数量的新任务变化，比几个基线要高得多。

我们介绍了DeepNash，这是一种能够学习从头开始播放不完美的信息游戏策略的自主代理，直到人类的专家级别。 Stratego是人工智能（AI）尚未掌握的少数标志性棋盘游戏之一。这个受欢迎的游戏具有$ 10^{535} $节点的巨大游戏树，即，$ 10^{175} $倍的$倍于GO。它具有在不完美的信息下需要决策的其他复杂性，类似于德克萨斯州Hold'em扑克，该扑克的游戏树较小（以$ 10^{164} $节点为单位）。 Stratego中的决策是在许多离散的动作上做出的，而动作与结果之间没有明显的联系。情节很长，在球员获胜之前经常有数百次动作，而Stratego中的情况则不能像扑克中那样轻松地分解成管理大小的子问题。由于这些原因，Stratego几十年来一直是AI领域的巨大挑战，现有的AI方法几乎没有达到业余比赛水平。 Deepnash使用游戏理论，无模型的深钢筋学习方法，而无需搜索，该方法学会通过自我播放来掌握Stratego。 DeepNash的关键组成部分的正则化NASH Dynamics（R-NAD）算法通过直接修改基础多项式学习动力学来收敛到近似NASH平衡，而不是围绕它“循环”。 Deepnash在Stratego中击败了现有的最先进的AI方法，并在Gravon Games平台上获得了年度（2022年）和历史前3名，并与人类专家竞争。

在具有连续以对象的状态，连续的动作，长距离和稀疏反馈的机器人环境中，决策是具有挑战性的。诸如任务和运动计划（TAMP）之类的层次结构方法通过将决策分解为两个或更多级别的抽象来解决这些挑战。在给出演示和符号谓词的环境中，先前的工作已经显示了如何通过手动设计的参数化策略来学习符号操作员和神经采样器。我们的主要贡献是一种与操作员和采样器结合使用的参数化策略的方法。这些组件被包装到模块化神经符号技能中，并与搜索 - 然后样本tamp一起测序以解决新任务。在四个机器人域的实验中，我们表明我们的方法 - 具有神经符号技能的双重计划 - 可以解决具有不同初始状态，目标和对象不同的各种任务，表现优于六个基线和消融。视频：https：//youtu.be/pbfzp8rpugg代码：https：//tinyurl.com/skill-learning

在机器人域中，学习和计划因连续的状态空间，连续的动作空间和较长的任务范围而变得复杂。在这项工作中，我们通过神经符号关系过渡模型（NSRTS）解决了这些挑战，这是一种具有数据效率学习的新型模型，与强大的机器人计划方法兼容，并且可以推广到对象上。NSRT具有符号和神经成分，实现了双重计划方案，其中外循环中的符号AI规划指导内部循环中的神经模型的连续计划。四个机器人计划域中的实验表明，仅在数十或数百个培训情节之后就可以学习NSRT，然后用于快速规划的新任务，这些任务需要高达60个动作，并且涉及比培训期间看到的更多物体。视频：https：//tinyurl.com/chitnis-nsrts

The deep reinforcement learning community has made several independent improvements to the DQN algorithm. However, it is unclear which of these extensions are complementary and can be fruitfully combined. This paper examines six extensions to the DQN algorithm and empirically studies their combination. Our experiments show that the combination provides state-of-the-art performance on the Atari 2600 benchmark, both in terms of data efficiency and final performance. We also provide results from a detailed ablation study that shows the contribution of each component to overall performance.

Experience replay lets online reinforcement learning agents remember and reuse experiences from the past. In prior work, experience transitions were uniformly sampled from a replay memory. However, this approach simply replays transitions at the same frequency that they were originally experienced, regardless of their significance. In this paper we develop a framework for prioritizing experience, so as to replay important transitions more frequently, and therefore learn more efficiently. We use prioritized experience replay in Deep Q-Networks (DQN), a reinforcement learning algorithm that achieved human-level performance across many Atari games. DQN with prioritized experience replay achieves a new stateof-the-art, outperforming DQN with uniform replay on 41 out of 49 games.

We adapt the ideas underlying the success of Deep Q-Learning to the continuous action domain. We present an actor-critic, model-free algorithm based on the deterministic policy gradient that can operate over continuous action spaces. Using the same learning algorithm, network architecture and hyper-parameters, our algorithm robustly solves more than 20 simulated physics tasks, including classic problems such as cartpole swing-up, dexterous manipulation, legged locomotion and car driving. Our algorithm is able to find policies whose performance is competitive with those found by a planning algorithm with full access to the dynamics of the domain and its derivatives. We further demonstrate that for many of the tasks the algorithm can learn policies "end-to-end": directly from raw pixel inputs.

A Digital Twin (DT) is a simulation of a physical system that provides information to make decisions that add economic, social or commercial value. The behaviour of a physical system changes over time, a DT must therefore be continually updated with data from the physical systems to reflect its changing behaviour. For resource-constrained systems, updating a DT is non-trivial because of challenges such as on-board learning and the off-board data transfer. This paper presents a framework for updating data-driven DTs of resource-constrained systems geared towards system health monitoring. The proposed solution consists of: (1) an on-board system running a light-weight DT allowing the prioritisation and parsimonious transfer of data generated by the physical system; and (2) off-board robust updating of the DT and detection of anomalous behaviours. Two case studies are considered using a production gas turbine engine system to demonstrate the digital representation accuracy for real-world, time-varying physical systems.

Learning to predict masked tokens in a sequence has been shown to be a powerful pretraining objective for large-scale language models. After training, such masked language models can provide distributions of tokens conditioned on bidirectional context. In this short draft, we show that such bidirectional conditionals often demonstrate considerable inconsistencies, i.e., they can not be derived from a coherent joint distribution when considered together. We empirically quantify such inconsistencies in the simple scenario of bigrams for two common styles of masked language models: T5-style and BERT-style. For example, we show that T5 models often confuse its own preference regarding two similar bigrams. Such inconsistencies may represent a theoretical pitfall for the research work on sampling sequences based on the bidirectional conditionals learned by BERT-style MLMs. This phenomenon also means that T5-style MLMs capable of infilling will generate discrepant results depending on how much masking is given, which may represent a particular trust issue.

We study the problem of planning under model uncertainty in an online meta-reinforcement learning (RL) setting where an agent is presented with a sequence of related tasks with limited interactions per task. The agent can use its experience in each task and across tasks to estimate both the transition model and the distribution over tasks. We propose an algorithm to meta-learn the underlying structure across tasks, utilize it to plan in each task, and upper-bound the regret of the planning loss. Our bound suggests that the average regret over tasks decreases as the number of tasks increases and as the tasks are more similar. In the classical single-task setting, it is known that the planning horizon should depend on the estimated model's accuracy, that is, on the number of samples within task. We generalize this finding to meta-RL and study this dependence of planning horizons on the number of tasks. Based on our theoretical findings, we derive heuristics for selecting slowly increasing discount factors, and we validate its significance empirically.
