摘要: 复杂控制系统中的快速适应仍然是强化学习的一个核心挑战。我们引入了一个框架,其中策略和价值函数共享一个低维系数向量——目标嵌入——它捕获任务身份,并能够在无需重新训练表示的情况下立即适应新任务。在预训练期间,我们通过双线性演员-评论家分解共同学习结构化价值基和兼容策略基。评论家分解为Q(s,a,g)=∑kGk(g)yk(s,a),其中Gk(g)是目标条件系数向量,yk(s,a)是学习的价值基函数。这种乘法门控——其中上下文信号缩放一组状态依赖的基——让人联想到在第5层锥体神经元中观察到的增益调制,其中自上而下的输入调节感觉驱动响应的增益而不改变其调谐[1]。基于后继特征,我们将分解扩展到演员,它由一组由相同系数Gk(g)加权的原始策略组成。在测试时,基被冻结,Gk(g)通过单次前向传播进行零样本估计,从而无需任何梯度更新即可立即适应新任务。我们在MuJoCo Ant环境中训练了一个软演员-评论家智能体,目标为多方向运动,要求智能体以八个指定为连续目标向量的方向行走。双线性结构允许每个策略头专门处理方向子集,而共享系数层在它们之间泛化,通过在目标嵌入空间中插值来适应新方向。我们的结果表明,共享的低维目标嵌入为高维控制中的快速、结构化适应提供了一种通用机制,并突显了复杂强化学习系统中高效迁移的潜在生物学合理原则。
