摘要象征性推理,如数学和逻辑等领域所需的,是人类智力的关键组成部分。这些域的求解器具有重要的应用,尤其是计算机辅助教育。但是学习解决符号问题是机器学习算法的具有挑战性。现有模型既可以从人体解决方案中学习或使用手工工程功能,使其在新域中应用昂贵。在本文中,我们将符号域视为一种简单的环境,其中指示了状态和操作作为非结构化文本,而二进制奖励指示是否解决了问题。这种灵活的设置可以轻松指定新域,但搜索和计划变得具有挑战性。我们介绍了由数学普通核心课程启发的四种环境,并观察到现有的加强学习基线表现不佳。然后,我们提出了一种新的学习算法,对比策略学习(Conpole),明确地优化了Inconce损失,下面限制了当前状态和下一个状态之间的相互信息,继续在解决方案的路径上。 Conpole成功解决了所有四个域。此外,Conpole学习的问题表示可以准确地预测真实数学课程中的问题类别。我们的成果建议在象征域中的加强学习的新方向,以及数学教育的应用。

General mathematical reasoning is computationally undecidable, but humans routinely solve new problems. Moreover, discoveries developed over centuries are taught to subsequent generations quickly. What structure enables this, and how might that inform automated mathematical reasoning? We posit that central to both puzzles is the structure of procedural abstractions underlying mathematics. We explore this idea in a case study on 5 sections of beginning algebra on the Khan Academy platform. To define a computational foundation, we introduce Peano, a theorem-proving environment where the set of valid actions at any point is finite. We use Peano to formalize introductory algebra problems and axioms, obtaining well-defined search problems. We observe existing reinforcement learning methods for symbolic reasoning to be insufficient to solve harder problems. Adding the ability to induce reusable abstractions ("tactics") from its own solutions allows an agent to make steady progress, solving all problems. Furthermore, these abstractions induce an order to the problems, seen at random during training. The recovered order has significant agreement with the expert-designed Khan Academy curriculum, and second-generation agents trained on the recovered curriculum learn significantly faster. These results illustrate the synergistic role of abstractions and curricula in the cultural transmission of mathematics.

Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a recently proposed search method that combines the precision of tree search with the generality of random sampling. It has received considerable interest due to its spectacular success in the difficult problem of computer Go, but has also proved beneficial in a range of other domains. This paper is a survey of the literature to date, intended to provide a snapshot of the state of the art after the first five years of MCTS research. We outline the core algorithm's derivation, impart some structure on the many variations and enhancements that have been proposed, and summarise the results from the key game and non-game domains to which MCTS methods have been applied. A number of open research questions indicate that the field is ripe for future work.

尽管深度强化学习(RL)最近取得了许多成功,但其方法仍然效率低下,这使得在数据方面解决了昂贵的许多问题。我们的目标是通过利用未标记的数据中的丰富监督信号来进行学习状态表示,以解决这一问题。本文介绍了三种不同的表示算法,可以访问传统RL算法使用的数据源的不同子集使用:(i)GRICA受到独立组件分析(ICA)的启发,并训练深层神经网络以输出统计独立的独立特征。输入。 Grica通过最大程度地减少每个功能与其他功能之间的相互信息来做到这一点。此外,格里卡仅需要未分类的环境状态。 (ii)潜在表示预测(LARP)还需要更多的上下文:除了要求状态作为输入外,它还需要先前的状态和连接它们的动作。该方法通过预测当前状态和行动的环境的下一个状态来学习状态表示。预测器与图形搜索算法一起使用。 (iii)重新培训通过训练深层神经网络来学习国家表示,以学习奖励功能的平滑版本。该表示形式用于预处理输入到深度RL,而奖励预测指标用于奖励成型。此方法仅需要环境中的状态奖励对学习表示表示。我们发现,每种方法都有其优势和缺点,并从我们的实验中得出结论,包括无监督的代表性学习在RL解决问题的管道中可以加快学习的速度。

聚类函数(例如对数或差异)满足了许多代数身份。对于对数,所有身份都来自产品规则。对于Diologarithm和更高的经典细分线虫,这些身份可能涉及五个或更多功能。在与粒子物理学相关的许多计算中,聚集体的复杂组合通常来自Feynman积分。尽管集成产生的初始表达通常简化,但通常很难知道要应用哪些身份以及按什么顺序应用。为了解决这种瓶颈,我们探索机器学习方法可以帮助您。我们考虑了一种强化学习方法,在该方法中,身份类似于游戏中的动作,也是变压器网络方法,在该方法中,该问题类似于语言翻译任务。尽管这两种方法都是有效的,但变压器网络似乎更强大,并且在数学物理学中的符号操纵任务中实现了实际使用的希望。

Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in tasks such as object recognition, video games, and board games, achieving performance that equals or even beats humans in some respects. Despite their biological inspiration and performance achievements, these systems differ from human intelligence in crucial ways. We review progress in cognitive science suggesting that truly human-like learning and thinking machines will have to reach beyond current engineering trends in both what they learn, and how they learn it. Specifically, we argue that these machines should (a) build causal models of the world that support explanation and understanding, rather than merely solving pattern recognition problems; (b) ground learning in intuitive theories of physics and psychology, to support and enrich the knowledge that is learned; and (c) harness compositionality and learning-to-learn to rapidly acquire and generalize knowledge to new tasks and situations. We suggest concrete challenges and promising routes towards these goals that can combine the strengths of recent neural network advances with more structured cognitive models.

Adequately assigning credit to actions for future outcomes based on their contributions is a long-standing open challenge in Reinforcement Learning. The assumptions of the most commonly used credit assignment method are disadvantageous in tasks where the effects of decisions are not immediately evident. Furthermore, this method can only evaluate actions that have been selected by the agent, making it highly inefficient. Still, no alternative methods have been widely adopted in the field. Hindsight Credit Assignment is a promising, but still unexplored candidate, which aims to solve the problems of both long-term and counterfactual credit assignment. In this thesis, we empirically investigate Hindsight Credit Assignment to identify its main benefits, and key points to improve. Then, we apply it to factored state representations, and in particular to state representations based on the causal structure of the environment. In this setting, we propose a variant of Hindsight Credit Assignment that effectively exploits a given causal structure. We show that our modification greatly decreases the workload of Hindsight Credit Assignment, making it more efficient and enabling it to outperform the baseline credit assignment method on various tasks. This opens the way to other methods based on given or learned causal structures.

当前独立于域的经典计划者需要问题域和实例作为输入的符号模型,从而导致知识采集瓶颈。同时,尽管深度学习在许多领域都取得了重大成功,但知识是在与符号系统(例如计划者)不兼容的亚符号表示中编码的。我们提出了Latplan,这是一种无监督的建筑,结合了深度学习和经典计划。只有一组未标记的图像对,显示了环境中允许的过渡子集(训练输入),Latplan学习了环境的完整命题PDDL动作模型。稍后,当给出代表初始状态和目标状态(计划输入)的一对图像时,Latplan在符号潜在空间中找到了目标状态的计划,并返回可视化的计划执行。我们使用6个计划域的基于图像的版本来评估LATPLAN:8个插头,15个式嘴,Blockworld,Sokoban和两个LightsOut的变体。

强化学习(RL)是人工智能中的核心问题。这个问题包括定义可以通过与环境交互学习最佳行为的人工代理 - 其中,在代理试图最大化的奖励信号的奖励信号中定义最佳行为。奖励机(RMS)提供了一种基于Automate的基于自动机的表示,该奖励功能使RL代理能够将RL问题分解为可以通过禁止策略学习有效地学习的结构化子问题。在这里,我们表明可以从经验中学习RMS,而不是由用户指定,并且可以使用所产生的问题分解来有效地解决部分可观察的RL问题。我们将学习RMS的任务作为离散优化问题构成,其中目标是找到将问题分解为一组子问题的RM,使得其最佳记忆策略的组合是原始问题的最佳策略。我们展示了这种方法在三个部分可观察的域中的有效性,在那里它显着优于A3C,PPO和宏碁,并讨论其优点,限制和更广泛的潜力。

长期以来,能够接受和利用特定于人类的任务知识的增强学习(RL)代理人被认为是开发可扩展方法来解决长途问题的可能策略。尽管以前的作品已经研究了使用符号模型以及RL方法的可能性,但他们倾向于假设高级动作模型在低级别上是可执行的,并且流利者可以专门表征所有理想的MDP状态。但是,现实世界任务的符号模型通常是不完整的。为此,我们介绍了近似符号模型引导的增强学习,其中我们将正式化符号模型与基础MDP之间的关系,这将使我们能够表征符号模型的不完整性。我们将使用这些模型来提取将用于分解任务的高级地标。在低水平上,我们为地标确定的每个可能的任务次目标学习了一组不同的政策,然后将其缝合在一起。我们通过在三个不同的基准域进行测试来评估我们的系统,并显示即使是不完整的符号模型信息,我们的方法也能够发现任务结构并有效地指导RL代理到达目标。

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) algorithms have been demonstrated to perform well on high-dimensional decision making and robotic control tasks. However, because they solely optimize for rewards, the agent tends to search the same space redundantly. This problem reduces the speed of learning and achieved reward. In this work, we present an Off-Policy HRL algorithm that maximizes entropy for efficient exploration. The algorithm learns a temporally abstracted low-level policy and is able to explore broadly through the addition of entropy to the high-level. The novelty of this work is the theoretical motivation of adding entropy to the RL objective in the HRL setting. We empirically show that the entropy can be added to both levels if the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between consecutive updates of the low-level policy is sufficiently small. We performed an ablative study to analyze the effects of entropy on hierarchy, in which adding entropy to high-level emerged as the most desirable configuration. Furthermore, a higher temperature in the low-level leads to Q-value overestimation and increases the stochasticity of the environment that the high-level operates on, making learning more challenging. Our method, SHIRO, surpasses state-of-the-art performance on a range of simulated robotic control benchmark tasks and requires minimal tuning.

This paper surveys the recent attempts, both from the machine learning and operations research communities, at leveraging machine learning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Given the hard nature of these problems, state-of-the-art algorithms rely on handcrafted heuristics for making decisions that are otherwise too expensive to compute or mathematically not well defined. Thus, machine learning looks like a natural candidate to make such decisions in a more principled and optimized way. We advocate for pushing further the integration of machine learning and combinatorial optimization and detail a methodology to do so. A main point of the paper is seeing generic optimization problems as data points and inquiring what is the relevant distribution of problems to use for learning on a given task.

Transformer, originally devised for natural language processing, has also attested significant success in computer vision. Thanks to its super expressive power, researchers are investigating ways to deploy transformers to reinforcement learning (RL) and the transformer-based models have manifested their potential in representative RL benchmarks. In this paper, we collect and dissect recent advances on transforming RL by transformer (transformer-based RL or TRL), in order to explore its development trajectory and future trend. We group existing developments in two categories: architecture enhancement and trajectory optimization, and examine the main applications of TRL in robotic manipulation, text-based games, navigation and autonomous driving. For architecture enhancement, these methods consider how to apply the powerful transformer structure to RL problems under the traditional RL framework, which model agents and environments much more precisely than deep RL methods, but they are still limited by the inherent defects of traditional RL algorithms, such as bootstrapping and "deadly triad". For trajectory optimization, these methods treat RL problems as sequence modeling and train a joint state-action model over entire trajectories under the behavior cloning framework, which are able to extract policies from static datasets and fully use the long-sequence modeling capability of the transformer. Given these advancements, extensions and challenges in TRL are reviewed and proposals about future direction are discussed. We hope that this survey can provide a detailed introduction to TRL and motivate future research in this rapidly developing field.

深度强化学习(RL)导致了许多最近和开创性的进步。但是,这些进步通常以培训的基础体系结构的规模增加以及用于训练它们的RL算法的复杂性提高,而均以增加规模的成本。这些增长反过来又使研究人员更难迅速原型新想法或复制已发表的RL算法。为了解决这些问题,这项工作描述了ACME,这是一个用于构建新型RL算法的框架,这些框架是专门设计的,用于启用使用简单的模块化组件构建的代理,这些组件可以在各种执行范围内使用。尽管ACME的主要目标是为算法开发提供一个框架,但第二个目标是提供重要或最先进算法的简单参考实现。这些实现既是对我们的设计决策的验证,也是对RL研究中可重复性的重要贡献。在这项工作中,我们描述了ACME内部做出的主要设计决策,并提供了有关如何使用其组件来实施各种算法的进一步详细信息。我们的实验为许多常见和最先进的算法提供了基准,并显示了如何为更大且更复杂的环境扩展这些算法。这突出了ACME的主要优点之一,即它可用于实现大型,分布式的RL算法,这些算法可以以较大的尺度运行,同时仍保持该实现的固有可读性。这项工作提出了第二篇文章的版本,恰好与模块化的增加相吻合,对离线,模仿和从演示算法学习以及作为ACME的一部分实现的各种新代理。
