ConTraIRL: Factorized Contrastive Abstractions for Transferable IRL 文章

arXiv:2606.03017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reward transfer in Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is unreliable when policies must generalize to unseen combinations of environment dynamics and task goals. We propose Factorized Contrastive Abstractions for Transferable IRL (ConTraIRL), a framework that enables compositional reward transfer by learning decoupled latent representations of these two factors. ConTraIRL uses a dual-encoder architecture that maps observations into separate dynamics and goal latent spaces, trained with a dual contrastive objective. Temporal alignment encourages the dynamics encoder to learn goal-invariant structure, while the goal encoder captures dynamics-invariant features. This factorization supports reward inference under recombined dynamics-goal settings.
