In reinforcement learning algorithms, leveraging multiple views of the environment can improve the learning of complicated policies. In multi-view environments, due to the fact that the views may frequently suffer from partial observability, their level of importance are often different. In this paper, we propose a dee…

Learning in a non-stationary environment is an inevitable problem when applying machine learning algorithm to real world environment.

Evaluation of deep reinforcement learning (RL) is inherently challenging.

A framework for learning disentangled representations of symmetric environments.

Self-supervised methods, wherein an agent learns representations solely by observing the results of its actions, become crucial in environments which do not provide a dense reward signal or have labels. In most cases, such methods are used for pretraining or auxiliary tasks for "downstream" tasks, such as control, expl…
