Exploiting Local Dynamics Regularity for Reusable Skills in Offline Hierarchical RL
The paper discusses advancements in Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) by focusing on the reuse of skills through local dynamics regularity. The proposed algorithm, CARL, aims to enhance the efficiency of HRL by aligning action sequences with their corresponding contexts. This approach demonstrates improved performance in complex environments and on benchmark tests.
- ▪Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning aims to solve long-horizon tasks more efficiently by discovering reusable skills.
- ▪The CARL algorithm aligns local transitions with action sequences to identify reusable skills.
- ▪The approach shows qualitative clustering of skills and improved performance on the OGBench benchmark.
