Reviewer # 1 1 Q1: the claim that the algorithm really manages to align the latent distributions of real and simulated data

Neural Information Processing Systems

Q1: ...the claim that the algorithm really manages to align the latent distributions of real and simulated data... We will revise the inappropriate statements in the final version. Q2: In the model adaptation phase, are state-action pairs simply sampled randomly from their respective buffers? Do you have results for a single, monolithic model? Q4: Did you investigate the reasons for the slow learning in the 500 steps on InvertedPendulum compared to PETS? Q1: The experiments shown in Figure 2 do not outperform MBPO beyond the confidence bounds.





Imitation with Neural Density Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

We propose a new framework for Imitation Learning (IL) via density estimation of the expert's occupancy measure followed by Maximum Occupancy Entropy Reinforcement Learning (RL) using the density as a reward. Our approach maximizes a non-adversarial model-free RL objective that provably lower bounds reverse Kullback-Leibler divergence between occupancy measures of the expert and imitator. We present a practical IL algorithm, Neural Density Imitation (NDI), which obtains state-of-the-art demonstration efficiency on benchmark control tasks.
