Observer learns from learner's trajectories via reward regression (LfL) instead of imitationGrid world observer across learner algorithms · Grid world (SPI, SVI, Q-learning, random improvements)score J(pi): observer beats learner for SPI, SVI, random; slightly below for Q-learning (3.65 vs 3.99)Mixed
