Researchers propose temporal abstraction to align spectral properties in forward-backward representations

Researchers have developed a method to improve the learning of successor representations (SR) in continuous spaces using forward-backward (FB) representations. They identified a spectral mismatch between continuous environments and the FB architecture, which hinders accurate low-rank representation learning. The proposed solution involves temporal abstraction, which acts as a low-pass filter to reduce the effective rank of the SR and align spectral properties, leading to more stable FB learning, especially for long-horizon tasks.
