Researchers have introduced Goal-Conditioned Supervised Learning with Negative Feedback (GCSL-NF), a novel approach to autonomous system training that addresses limitations in existing self-supervised methods. Unlike previous techniques that focus solely on successful outcomes, GCSL-NF incorporates corrective learning from mistakes by evaluating trajectories both positively against relabeled goals and negatively against the originally intended goal. This method utilizes a contrastively learned similarity function, eliminating the need for predefined reward functions or geometric distances. Experiments demonstrate that GCSL-NF effectively mitigates initial agent biases and shows improved performance compared to standard GCSL and HER-based methods, making it particularly suitable for self-adaptive systems with evolving or complex objectives.
