Abstract
imitation provides open-source implementations of imitation and reward learning algorithms in PyTorch. We include three inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) algorithms, three imitation learning algorithms and a preference comparison algorithm. The implementations have been benchmarked against previous results, and automated tests cover 98% of the code. Moreover, the algorithms are implemented in a modular fashion, making it simple to develop novel algorithms in the framework. Our source code, including documentation and examples, is available here.
Adam Gleave
CEO and President of the Board
Adam Gleave is the CEO of FAR. He completed his PhD in artificial intelligence (AI) at UC Berkeley, advised by Stuart Russell. His goal is to develop techniques necessary for advanced automated systems to verifiably act according to human preferences, even in situations unanticipated by their designer. He is particularly interested in improving methods for value learning, and robustness of deep RL. For more information, visit his website.
