異種人間監督者からの暗黙的インタラクティブ群学習

原文アブストラクト

Imitation learning has been applied to a range of robotic tasks, but can struggle when robots encounter edge cases that are not represented in the training data (i.e., distribution shift). Interactive fleet learning (IFL) mitigates distribution shift by allowing robots to access remote human supervisors during task execution and learn from them over time, but different supervisors may demonstrate the task in different ways. Recent work proposes Implicit Behavior Cloning (IBC), which is able to represent multimodal demonstrations using energy-based models (EBMs). In this work, we propose Implicit Interactive Fleet Learning (IIFL), an algorithm that builds on IBC for interactive imitation learning from multiple heterogeneous human supervisors. A key insight in IIFL is a novel approach for uncertainty quantification in EBMs using Jeffreys divergence. While IIFL is more computationally expensive than explicit methods, results suggest that IIFL achieves a 2.8x higher success rate in simulation experiments and a 4.5x higher return on human effort in a physical block pushing task over (Explicit) IFL, IBC, and other baselines.
