Improving the Robustness and Encoding Complexity of Behavioural Clones
Rui Carlos Camacho, Pavel Brazdil · Lecture notes in computer science · 2001
The aim of behavioural cloning is to synthesize artificial controllers that are robust and comprehensible to human understanding. To attain the two objectives we propose the use of the Incremental Correction model that is based on a closed-loop control strategy to model the reactive aspects of human control skills. We have investigated the use of three different representations to encode the artificial controllers: univariate decision trees as induced by C4.5; multivariate decision and regression trees as induced by cart and; clausal theories induced by an Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) system. We obtained an increase in robustness and a lower complexity of the controllers when compared with results using other models. The controllers synthesized by cart revealed to be the most robust. The ILP system produced the simpler encodings.
