Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modular cumulants and SFs (MSFA) instead of entangled functions (ablation) | MSFA · BabyAI object navigation | generalization episode return | Helped |
| Removing GPI from SF-based methods (ablation) | USFA · BabyAI object navigation | generalization episode return | Hurt |
| Modular architecture without GPI (greedy SF policy) (ablation) | MSFA · BabyAI object navigation | generalization episode return | Helped |
| Learning cumulants instead of hand-designed (USFA-Learned-phi) (ablation) | USFA · BabyAI object navigation | generalization episode return | Hurt |
| Modular learned cumulants and SFs (MSFA) vs. USFA with hand-designed cumulants | MSFA · BabyAI object navigation | generalization episode return | No clear effect |
| Modular learned cumulants and SFs (MSFA) vs. learned-cumulant USFA | MSFA · Fruitbot (Procgen) collecting multiple objects | generalization return | Helped |
| Modular learned cumulants and SFs (MSFA) | MSFA · Fruitbot tasks requiring avoiding objects | generalization return | No clear effect |
| Modular SF architecture vs. UVFA-based methods | MSFA · Minihack heterogeneous tasks (large room) | success rate | Helped |
| SF-based methods vs UVFA in small Minihack room | MSFA · Minihack small room | success rate | No clear effect |
