Does Latent Context Help? A Controlled Evaluation of Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Arctic Shipping

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted navigation can help Arctic shipping adapt to rapidly changing sea-ice conditions, but reliable deployment requires reward models that are interpretable and robust to changing environments. Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) provides a framework for recovering such rewards from vessel trajectories, while recent meta-IRL methods introduce latent context variables to capture behavioral heterogeneity.

Multi-Modal, Multi-Environment Machine Teaching for Robust Reward Learning

arXiv:2607. 08647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As autonomous agents are increasingly deployed across diverse operational contexts, aligning their behavior with human intent demands reward functions that remain robust to such changes rather than overfitting to any single environment.
