Unbiased learning with State-Conditioned Rewards in Adversarial Imitation Learning
Adversarial imitation learning has emerged as a general and scalable framework for automatic reward acquisition. However, we point out that previous methods commonly exploited occupancy-dependent reward learning formulation. Despite the theoretical justification, the occupancy measures tend to cause issues in practice because of high variance and low vulnerability to domain shifts. Another reported problem is termination biases induced by provided rewarding and regularization schemes around terminal states. In order to deal with these issues, this work presents a novel algorithm called causal adversarial inverse reinforcement learning. The framework employs a dual discriminator architecture for decoupling state densities from rewards formulation. We investigate the reward shaping theory to deal with the finite horizon problem and address the reward function's optimality. The formulation draws a strong connection between adversarial learning and energy-based reinforcement learning; thus, the architecture is capable of recovering a reward function that induces a multi-modal policy. In experiments, we demonstrate that our approach outperforms prior methods in challenging continuous control tasks, even under significant variation in the environments.
