DIAMOND (DIffusion as a Model of Environment Dreams): A Reinforcement Learning Agent Trained in a Diffusion World Model

Reinforcement Learning: Tackling Sample Inefficiency Real-World Challenges Reinforcement learning (RL) is key for smart systems, but inefficiency in sample collection limits its usefulness in real-world settings. This obstructs deployment in places where getting samples is expensive or time-consuming. Research and Solutions Current research involves world models like SimPLe, Dreamer, TWM, STORM, and IRIS, which train RL agents in simulated environments to improve sample efficiency. DIAMOND, a new RL agent trained with a diffusion-based world model, has been introduced to overcome these challenges. DIAMOND’s Approach DIAMOND uses diffusion models to maintain visual details often lost in traditional methods, enhancing the fidelity of simulated environments and the training process. It trains the agent in a diffusion-based world model, preserving the environment’s visual details more effectively compared to traditional discrete latent variable models. Performance and Impact DIAMOND achieves a mean human-normalized score of 1.46 on the Atari 100k benchmark, setting a new standard for agents trained entirely within a world model. The diffusion model's enhanced visual detail and stability lead to better decision-making and learning efficiency. Revolutionizing RL Training DIAMOND is a significant advance in RL by addressing the challenge of sample inefficiency through improved world modeling. Integrating diffusion models into world modeling marks a step forward in developing more robust and effective RL systems, allowing for broader applications and improved AI performance.
