摘要:

为增强强化学习(RL)的可解释性,我们提出了 Revealing Evolutionary Action Consequence Trajectories(REACT,揭示进化动作后果轨迹)。与依据训练期间学到的最优行为来验证 RL 模型的普遍做法不同,我们认为考察一系列边缘情形轨迹能够更全面地理解模型的内在行为。为诱发此类场景,我们对初始状态引入扰动,并通过进化算法对其进行优化,以生成多样化的示范种群。为评估轨迹的适应度,REACT 采用联合适应度函数,在所遇状态和所选动作中同时鼓励局部与全局多样性。通过在离散和连续环境中对训练时长不同的策略进行评估,我们展示了 REACT 的描述能力。结果突显其能有效揭示 RL 模型在最优性能之外的细微行为层面,从而有助于提升可解释性。

英文摘要:

To enhance the interpretability of Reinforcement Learning (RL), we propose Revealing Evolutionary Action Consequence Trajectories (REACT). In contrast to the prevalent practice of validating RL models based on their optimal behavior learned during training, we posit that considering a range of edge-case trajectories provides a more comprehensive understanding of their inherent behavior. To induce such scenarios, we introduce a disturbance to the initial state, optimizing it through an evolutionary algorithm to generate a diverse population of demonstrations. To evaluate the fitness of trajectories, REACT incorporates a joint fitness function that encourages both local and global diversity in the encountered states and chosen actions. Through assessments with policies trained for varying durations in discrete and continuous environments, we demonstrate the descriptive power of REACT. Our results highlight its effectiveness in revealing nuanced aspects of RL models' behavior beyond optimal performance, thereby contributing to improved interpretability.
