Augmentations for Robust and Efficient Imitation Learning in Streamed Video Games

arXiv:2607. 14200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imitation learning is an appealing way to scale game-playing agents to complex 3D environments by training policies to map visual observations to actions from human demonstrations.

CoIRL-AD: Collaborative-Competitive Imitation-Reinforcement Learning in Latent World Models for Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2510. 12560v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: End-to-end autonomous driving models trained with imitation learning (IL) often generalize poorly, particularly in long-tail scenarios where expert demonstrations are sparse.
