Action Q-Transformer: Visual Explanation in Deep Reinforcement Learning with Encoder-Decoder Model using Action Query
The excellent performance of Transformer in supervised learning has led to growing interest in its potential application to deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to achieve high performance on a wide variety of problems. However, the decision making of a DRL agent is a black box, which greatly hinders the application of the agent to real-world problems. To address this problem, we propose the Action Q-Transformer (AQT), which introduces a transformer encoder-decoder structure to Q-learning based DRL methods. In AQT, the encoder calculates the state value function and the decoder calculates the advantage function to promote the acquisition of different attentions indicating the agent's decision-making. The decoder in AQT utilizes action queries, which represent the information of each action, as queries. This enables us to obtain the attentions for the state value and for each action. By acquiring and visualizing these attentions that detail the agent's decision-making, we achieve a DRL model with high interpretability. In this paper, we show that visualization of attention in Atari 2600 games enables detailed analysis of agents' decision-making in various game tasks. Further, experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve higher performance than the baseline in some games.
