Rank-Then-Act framework learns control policies without environment rewards

Researchers have developed a novel framework called Rank-Then-Act (RTA) that enables reinforcement learning agents to learn control policies from video demonstrations without relying on explicit environmental rewards. RTA utilizes a vision-language model to act as an ordinal scorer, predicting progress within video sequences. This scorer is then used to generate a correlation-based reward signal for reinforcement learning, which has shown stable performance across various tasks and environments, including discrete control benchmarks and continuous control tasks.

    Rank-Then-Act: Reward-Free Control from Frame-Order Progress

    Rank-Then-Act framework learns control policies from video demonstrations using a vision-language model as an ordinal scorer with correlation-based rewards, enabling stable cross-task transfer without environment rewards.
