Active Curriculum Refinement for Reinforcement Learning

Researchers introduced PATH, a curriculum-learning framework for reinforcement learning that actively learns over a directed acyclic curriculum graph, expanding coverage by sampling diverse paths and reallocating training to unmastered regions. Experiments across diverse environments showed PATH leverages graph structure for strong robustness and generalization.

Abstract:In many reinforcement learning (RL) domains, environments are connected by prerequisite relations, such as difficulty-increasing edits or parameter increments, which induce a directed acyclic curriculum graph (DAG). Although this structure is often exploited only implicitly, explicitly modeling it can improve training. We introduce PATH, a curriculum-learning framework that performs active learning over the curriculum graph. PATH first expands coverage by sampling diverse curriculum paths and then reallocates training toward regions that remain unmastered. Experiments across diverse environments show that PATH explicitly leverages the graph structure to achieve strong robustness and generalization.
