Learning Task-Relevant Representations with Selective Contrast for Reinforcement Learning in a Real-World Application
We use contrastive learning to obtain task-relevant state-representations from images for reinforcement learning in a real-world system. To test the quality of the representations, an agent is trained with reinforcement learning in the Neuro-Slot-Car environment (Kietzmann & Riedmiller, 2009; Lange et al., 2012). In our experiments, we restrict the distribution from which samples are drawn for comparison in the contrastive loss. Our results show, that the choice of sampling distribution for negative samples is essential to allow task-relevant features to be represented in the presence of more prevalent, but irrelevant features. This adds to recent research on feature suppression and feature invariance in contrastive representation learning. With the training of the reinforcement learning agent, we present to our knowledge a first approach of using contrastive learning of state-representations for control in a real-world environment, using only images from one static camera.
