Briefings
A new self-supervised method called Keyframe Mnemonics discovers critical observations to enable behavior cloning in non-Markovian environments. The approach learns an objective from past observations to select keyframes, allowing policies to retain context over infinite horizons while using minimal working memory. Evaluation on synthetic domains shows 100% success rates, and on a real robot manipulation benchmark, it improved average success rates by 13.9% compared to the strongest baseline across 23 tasks.
Key points
- Keyframe Mnemonics discovers information-critical observations by learning an objective from randomly sampled past observations to guide keyframe selection.
- The method achieves 100% success rates on synthetic memory domains and improves average success rates by 13.9% on a real robot manipulation benchmark across 23 tasks.
Context and limitations
Evaluation on synthetic memory domains and a real robot manipulation benchmark; performance on other horizons or environments remains untested.
