The upcoming meeting, taking place on November 10 at Mila, will explore how we can collectively develop, govern, and deploy high-performing, reliable, and secure agentic systems by connecting academic researchers, industry experts, and practitioners.

Auxiliary tasks improve the representations learned by deep reinforcement learning agents. Analytically, their effect is reasonably well und… (see more)erstood; in practice, however, their primary use remains in support of a main learning objective, rather than as a method for learning representations. This is perhaps surprising given that many auxiliary tasks are defined procedurally, and hence can be treated as an essentially infinite source of information about the environment. Based on this observation, we study the effectiveness of auxiliary tasks for learning rich representations, focusing on the setting where the number of tasks and the size of the agent's network are simultaneously increased. For this purpose, we derive a new family of auxiliary tasks based on the successor measure. These tasks are easy to implement and have appealing theoretical properties. Combined with a suitable off-policy learning rule, the result is a representation learning algorithm that can be understood as extending Mahadevan & Maggioni (2007)'s proto-value functions to deep reinforcement learning -- accordingly, we call the resulting object proto-value networks. Through a series of experiments on the Arcade Learning Environment, we demonstrate that proto-value networks produce rich features that may be used to obtain performance comparable to established algorithms, using only linear approximation and a small number (~4M) of interactions with the environment's reward function.

In this paper, we derive an algorithm that learns a principal subspace from sample entries, can be applied when the approximate subspace i… (see more)s represented by a neural network, and hence can bescaled to datasets with an effectively infinite number of rows and columns. Our method consistsin defining a loss function whose minimizer is the desired principal subspace, and constructing agradient estimate of this loss whose bias can be controlled.
