Deliberate Practice: Learning Robot Skills under a Budget
The paper claims a robot can choose exactly which skills to practice when practice time is scarce.
Its Deliberate Practice algorithm estimates both how long skills take to master and how much task reward those skills would unlock. The authors frame the allocation problem as a bilinear program solvable with off-the-shelf tools. They report simulated and real-world long-horizon manipulation experiments where the method used limited practice time to learn useful policies and improve planning. ArXiv · AI/CL/LG's note
