SynIL: Leveraging Synergy for Offline Imitation Learning from Imperfect Demonstration Datasets

SynIL is a new framework for offline imitation learning that automatically assesses the quality of demonstration data without requiring labels. It uses motor synergy—a low‑dimensional coordinated movement pattern linked to proficiency—to generate dense, transition‑level reward signals through self‑supervised reward regression. Experiments on D4RL locomotion and Robomimic manipulation datasets show that synergy‑derived rewards align well with true rewards and that SynIL outperforms Behavior Cloning and rivals or surpasses offline reinforcement learning in sparse‑reward scenarios.
