In many application areas, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has led to breakthroughs. In Curriculum Learning, the Machine Learning algorithm is not randomly presented with examples, but in a meaningful order of increasing difficulty. This has been used in many application areas to further improve the results of learning systems or to reduce their learning time. Such approaches range from learning plans created manually by domain experts to those created automatically. The automated creation of learning plans is one of the biggest challenges.In this work, we investigate an approach in which a trainer learns in parallel and analogously to the student to automatically create a learning plan for the student during this Double Deep Reinforcement Learning (DDRL). Three Reward functions, Friendly, Adversarial, and Dynamic based on the learner’s reward are compared. The domain for evaluation is kicking with variable distance, direction and relative ball position in the SimSpark simulated soccer environment.As a result, Statistic Curriculum Learning (SCL) performs better than a random curriculum with respect to training time and result quality. DDRL reaches a comparable quality as the baseline and outperforms it significantly in shorter trainings in the distance-direction subdomain reducing the number of required training cycles by almost 50%.
Team description papers of magmaOffenburg are incremental in the sense that each year we address a different topic of our team and the tools around our team. In this year’s team description paper we focus on the architecture of the software. It is a main factor for being able to keep the code maintainable even after 15 years of development. We also describe how we make sure that the code follows this architecture.
This paper presents the new Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) library RL-X and its application to the RoboCup Soccer Simulation 3D League and classic DRL benchmarks. RL-X provides a flexible and easy-to-extend codebase with self-contained single directory algorithms. Through the fast JAX-based implementations, RL-X can reach up to 4.5x speedups compared to well-known frameworks like Stable-Baselines3.
This paper describes the concept and some results of the project "Menschen Lernen Maschinelles Lernen" (Humans Learn Machine Learning, ML2) of the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg. It brings together students of different courses of study and practitioners from companies on the subject of Machine Learning. A mixture of blended learning and practical projects ensures a tight coupling of machine learning theory and application. The paper details the phases of ML2 and mentions two successful example projects.
The present work ties in with the problem of bicycle road assessment that is currently done using expensive special measuring vehicles. Our alternative approach for road condition assessment is to mount a sensor device on a bicycle which sends accelerometer and gyroscope data via WiFi to a classification server. There, a prediction model determines road type and condition based on the sensor data. For the classification task, we compare different machine learning methods with each other, whereby validation accuracies of 99% can be achieved with deep residual networks such as InceptionTime. The main contribution of this work with respect to comparable work is that we achieve excellent accuracies on a realistic dataset classifying road conditions into nine distinct classes that are highly relevant for practice.
