Beyond Seen Worlds: EXPLORER’s Journey into Generalized Reasoning
- The article discusses the importance of rule generalization for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents to perform well on both seen and unseen entities.
- It highlights the challenge of excessive generalization leading to false-positive results and the need to strike a balance.
- A novel approach of dynamic rule generalization is proposed using WordNet's hypernym-hyponym relations.
- The algorithm dynamically generates generalized rules based on information gain from positive and negative examples.
- The study demonstrates the benefit of integrating symbolic and neural reasoning in RL agents for text-based games like TW-Cooking.
- Experiments show that the EXPLORER agent outperforms neural-only agents and SOTA models like GATA and CBR on TW-Cooking and TWC games.
- Different generalization settings in EXPLORER, such as Exhaustive Rule Generalization and IG-based generalization, are compared in the study.
- Agents are trained with 100 episodes on TW-Cooking domain without pretraining advantage to boost performance.
- The paper is available on arxiv under CC BY 4.0 DEED license.
