    Offline RL strikes back! In our new Q-Transformer paper, we introduce a scalable framework for offline reinforcement learning using Transformers and autoregressive Q-Learning to learn from mixed-quality datasets! Website and paper: q-transformer.github.io 🧵

    Excited to present our work on Actionable Models at #ICML! Find the camera-ready version at arxiv.org/abs/2104.07749 In this work, we learn functional understanding of the world through goal-conditioned Q-learning and use it for reaching visual goals or learning downstream tasks.

    Excited to present RT-2, a large unified Vision-Language-Action model! By converting robot actions to strings, we can directly train large visual-language models to output actions while retaining their web-scale knowledge and generalization capabilities! robotics-transformer2.github.io

    Today, we announced 𝗥𝗧-𝟮: a first of its kind vision-language-action model to control robots. 🤖 It learns from both web and robotics data and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions. Find out more: dpmd.ai/introducing-rt2

    RT-H learns a hierarchy all the way from high-level tasks through low-level “language motions” to robot actions! ✅ Improved performance and generalization through better data sharing ✅ Automated grounded “bottom-up” labeling ✅ Ability to intervene and correct with language

    Is language capable of representing low-level *motions* of a robot? RT-Hierarchy learns an action hierarchy using motions described in language, like “move arm forward” or “close gripper” to improve policy learning. 📜: arxiv.org/abs/2403.01823 🏠: rt-hierarchy.github.io (1/10)

    Replying to @YevgenChebotar
    By using autoregressive Bellman updates, conservative regularization, Monte Carlo and n-step returns, we are able to combine human demonstrations and autonomously collected data to learn multi-task language-conditioned policies from both, successful and failed examples.

    Replying to @YevgenChebotar
    Our real robot policies significantly improve upon RT-1 and other baselines when trained on limited amount of human demonstrations by leveraging autonomously collected negatives and dynamic programming properties of Q-learning.

    Turns out classification loss works surprisingly well for value-based RL, also some nice gains when used with Q-Transfomer!

    Super simple code change to get value-based deep RL scale *much* better w/ big models across the board on Atari games, robotic manipulation w/ transformers, LLM + text games, & even Chess! Just use classification loss (i.e., cross entropy), not MSE!! arxiv.org/abs/2403.03950🧵⬇️
