DQfD: demonstration pretraining with temporal-difference and margin losses

Pretrained a deep Q-network on demonstration data using temporal-difference, large-margin action-classification and regularization losses, then mixed preserved demonstrations with self-generated replay during learning.

Pretrained a deep Q-network on demonstration data using temporal-difference, large-margin action-classification and regularization losses, then mixed preserved demonstrations with self-generated replay during learning.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Original v1 uses separate demonstration/agent buffers with a controlled fixed sampling proportion; do not import later prioritized-replay/n-step revisions automatically. Inherits Double DQN and supervised imitation losses. Better initial Atari performance is not a safety certificate for real systems or expert-free learning.
