Unifying Goal-Conditioned RL and Unsupervised Skill Learning via Control-Maximization
Researchers unify goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) and mutual information skill learning (MISL) under a control-maximization framework, proving that diverse unsupervised skills learned through MISL provide theoretical guarantees for downstream goal-reaching tasks. The work establishes formal bounds connecting different pretraining objectives to specific downstream GCRL formulations, providing theoretical justification for RL pretraining strategies.
