Check out our survey on explainable reinforcement learning! We propose a novel taxonomy for organizing the existing XRL literature, summarize current techniques, and discuss some interesting directions for future work: arxiv.org/abs/2202.08434

Check out our recent work on utilizing transformers for an array of sequential decision-making tasks! We show that our single model can perform similar to or better than specialized models on tasks like behavioral cloning, offline reinforcement learning, and more.
