Debiased Model-based Representations for Sample-efficient Continuous Control
Model-based representations recently stand out as a promising framework that embeds latent dynamics information into the representations for downstream off-policy actor-critic learning. It implicitly combines the advantages of both model-free and model-based approaches while avoiding the training costs associated with model-based methods. Nevertheless, existing model-based representation methods can fail to capture sufficient information about relevant variables and can overfit to early experiences in the replay buffer. These incur biases in representation and actor-critic learning, leading to inferior performance. To address this, we propose Debiased model-based Representations for Q-learning, tagged DR.Q algorithm. DR.Q explicitly maximizes the mutual information between the representations of the current state-action pair and the next state besides minimizing their deviations, and samples transitions with faded prioritized experience replay. We evaluate DR.Q on numerous continuous control benchmarks with a single set of hyperparameters, and the results demonstrate that DR.Q can match or surpass recent strong baselines, sometimes outperforming them by a large margin. Our code is available at https://github.com/dmksjfl/DR.Q.

Difference-in-Differences with Time-varying Continuous Treatments using Double/Debiased Machine Learning
We propose a difference-in-differences (DiD) method for a time-varying continuous treatment and multiple time periods. Our framework assesses the average treatment effect on the treated (ATET) when comparing two non-zero…
Learning Debiased Representations via Conditional Attribute Interpolation
An image is usually described by more than one attribute like "shape" and "color". When a dataset is biased, i.e., most samples have attributes spuriously correlated with the target label, a Deep Neural Network (DNN)…
