DIDI: Diffusion-Guided Diversity for Offline Behavioral Generation

In this paper, we propose a novel approach called DIffusion-guided DIversity (DIDI) for offline behavioral generation. The goal of DIDI is to learn a diverse set of skills from a mixture of label-free offline data. We achieve this by leveraging diffusion probabilistic models as priors to guide the learning process and regularize the policy. By optimizing a joint objective that incorporates diversity and diffusion-guided regularization, we encourage the emergence of diverse behaviors while maintaining the similarity to the offline data. Experimental results in four decision-making domains (Push, Kitchen, Humanoid, and D4RL tasks) show that DIDI is effective in discovering diverse and discriminative skills. We also introduce skill stitching and skill interpolation, which highlight the generalist nature of the learned skill space. Further, by incorporating an extrinsic reward function, DIDI enables reward-guided behavior generation, facilitating the learning of diverse and optimal behaviors from sub-optimal data.Comment: ICML202

An Effective Software Risk Prediction Management Analysis of Data Using Machine Learning and Data Mining Method

For one to guarantee higher-quality software development processes, risk management is essential. Furthermore, risks are those that could negatively impact an organization's operations or a project's progress. The appropriate prioritisation of software project risks is a crucial factor in ascertaining the software project's performance features and eventual success. They can be used harmoniously with the same training samples and have good complement and compatibility. We carried out in-depth tests on four benchmark datasets to confirm the efficacy of our CIA approach in closed-world and open-world scenarios, with and without defence. We also present a sequential augmentation parameter optimisation technique that captures the interdependencies of the latest deep learning state-of-the-art WF attack models. To achieve precise software risk assessment, the enhanced crow search algorithm (ECSA) is used to modify the ANFIS settings. Solutions that very slightly alter the local optimum and stay inside it are extracted using the ECSA. ANFIS variable when utilising the ANFIS technique. An experimental validation with NASA 93 dataset and 93 software project values was performed. This method's output presents a clear image of the software risk elements that are essential to achieving project performance. The results of our experiments show that, when compared to other current methods, our integrative fuzzy techniques may perform more accurately and effectively in the evaluation of software project risks

Learn Goal-Conditioned Policy with Intrinsic Motivation for Deep Reinforcement Learning

It is of significance for an agent to learn a widely applicable and general-purpose policy that can achieve diverse goals including images and text descriptions. Considering such perceptually-specific goals, the frontier of deep reinforcement learning research is to learn a goal-conditioned policy without hand-crafted rewards. To learn this kind of policy, recent works usually take as the reward the non-parametric distance to a given goal in an explicit embedding space. From a different viewpoint, we propose a novel unsupervised learning approach named goal-conditioned policy with intrinsic motivation (GPIM), which jointly learns both an abstract-level policy and a goal-conditioned policy. The abstract-level policy is conditioned on a latent variable to optimize a discriminator and discovers diverse states that are further rendered into perceptually-specific goals for the goal-conditioned policy. The learned discriminator serves as an intrinsic reward function for the goal-conditioned policy to imitate the trajectory induced by the abstract-level policy. Experiments on various robotic tasks demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed GPIM method which substantially outperforms prior techniques.Comment: Accepted by AAAI-2

CLUE: Calibrated Latent Guidance for Offline Reinforcement Learning

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn an optimal policy from pre-collected and labeled datasets, which eliminates the time-consuming data collection in online RL. However, offline RL still bears a large burden of specifying/handcrafting extrinsic rewards for each transition in the offline data. As a remedy for the labor-intensive labeling, we propose to endow offline RL tasks with a few expert data and utilize the limited expert data to drive intrinsic rewards, thus eliminating the need for extrinsic rewards. To achieve that, we introduce \textbf{C}alibrated \textbf{L}atent g\textbf{U}idanc\textbf{E} (CLUE), which utilizes a conditional variational auto-encoder to learn a latent space such that intrinsic rewards can be directly qualified over the latent space. CLUE's key idea is to align the intrinsic rewards consistent with the expert intention via enforcing the embeddings of expert data to a calibrated contextual representation. We instantiate the expert-driven intrinsic rewards in sparse-reward offline RL tasks, offline imitation learning (IL) tasks, and unsupervised offline RL tasks. Empirically, we find that CLUE can effectively improve the sparse-reward offline RL performance, outperform the state-of-the-art offline IL baselines, and discover diverse skills from static reward-free offline data

Modeling and Analyzing for the Friction Torque of a Sliding Bearing Based on Grey System Theory

Based on the grey system theory, the grey relational analysis method is proposed and used in analyzing the influence of various factors on the friction torque of a sliding bearing. On the basis of the grey relational analysis the multidimensional grey model GM(1,N,D) for the friction torque of a sliding bearing is built up. Taking Al-based alloy sliding bearing as an example, the calculation results show that, compared with other influence factors, friction coefficient, load, temperature and rotational speed have more significant influence on the bearing friction torque.Comparingexperimental results and the calculated value of the GM(1,N,D) model based on these important influence factors, the maximum relative residuals is 9.09%, the average relative residuals is 7.9% and the accuracy is 92.1%. It verify that GM(1,N,D) model has good accuracy and is applicable for predicting friction torque of a sliding bearing

Design from Policies: Conservative Test-Time Adaptation for Offline Policy Optimization

In this work, we decouple the iterative bi-level offline RL (value estimation and policy extraction) from the offline training phase, forming a non-iterative bi-level paradigm and avoiding the iterative error propagation over two levels. Specifically, this non-iterative paradigm allows us to conduct inner-level optimization (value estimation) in training, while performing outer-level optimization (policy extraction) in testing. Naturally, such a paradigm raises three core questions that are not fully answered by prior non-iterative offline RL counterparts like reward-conditioned policy: (q1) What information should we transfer from the inner-level to the outer-level? (q2) What should we pay attention to when exploiting the transferred information for safe/confident outer-level optimization? (q3) What are the benefits of concurrently conducting outer-level optimization during testing? Motivated by model-based optimization (MBO), we propose DROP (design from policies), which fully answers the above questions. Specifically, in the inner-level, DROP decomposes offline data into multiple subsets, and learns an MBO score model (a1). To keep safe exploitation to the score model in the outer-level, we explicitly learn a behavior embedding and introduce a conservative regularization (a2). During testing, we show that DROP permits deployment adaptation, enabling an adaptive inference across states (a3). Empirically, we evaluate DROP on various tasks, showing that DROP gains comparable or better performance compared to prior methods.Comment: NeurIPS 202

Improving Offline-to-Online Reinforcement Learning with Q Conditioned State Entropy Exploration

Studying how to fine-tune offline reinforcement learning (RL) pre-trained policy is profoundly significant for enhancing the sample efficiency of RL algorithms. However, directly fine-tuning pre-trained policies often results in sub-optimal performance. This is primarily due to the distribution shift between offline pre-training and online fine-tuning stages. Specifically, the distribution shift limits the acquisition of effective online samples, ultimately impacting the online fine-tuning performance. In order to narrow down the distribution shift between offline and online stages, we proposed Q conditioned state entropy (QCSE) as intrinsic reward. Specifically, QCSE maximizes the state entropy of all samples individually, considering their respective Q values. This approach encourages exploration of low-frequency samples while penalizing high-frequency ones, and implicitly achieves State Marginal Matching (SMM), thereby ensuring optimal performance, solving the asymptotic sub-optimality of constraint-based approaches. Additionally, QCSE can seamlessly integrate into various RL algorithms, enhancing online fine-tuning performance. To validate our claim, we conduct extensive experiments, and observe significant improvements with QCSE (about 13% for CQL and 8% for Cal-QL). Furthermore, we extended experimental tests to other algorithms, affirming the generality of QCSE
