Query: DoShiCo Challenge: Domain Shift in Control Prediction   Training deep neural network policies end-to-end for real-world applications
so far requires big demonstration datasets in the real world or big sets
consisting of a large variety of realistic and closely related 3D CAD models.
These real or virtual data should, moreover, have very similar characteristics
to the conditions expected at test time. These stringent requirements and the
time consuming data collection processes that they entail, are currently the
most important impediment that keeps deep reinforcement learning from being
deployed in real-world applications. Therefore, in this work we advocate an
alternative approach, where instead of avoiding any domain shift by carefully
selecting the training data, the goal is to learn a policy that can cope with
it. To this end, we propose the DoShiCo challenge: to train a model in very
basic synthetic environments, far from realistic, in a way that it can be
applied in more realistic environments as well as take the control decisions on
real-world data. In particular, we focus on the task of collision avoidance for
drones. We created a set of simulated environments that can be used as
benchmark and implemented a baseline method, exploiting depth prediction as an
auxiliary task to help overcome the domain shift. Even though the policy is
trained in very basic environments, it can learn to fly without collisions in a
very different realistic simulated environment. Of course several benchmarks
for reinforcement learning already exist - but they never include a large
domain shift. On the other hand, several benchmarks in computer vision focus on
the domain shift, but they take the form of a static datasets instead of
simulated environments. In this work we claim that it is crucial to take the
two challenges together in one benchmark.
