🧭MAGELLAN is built on on many works that use of LP to drive automatic curriculum learning e.g. by @rockt.ai @egrefen.bsky.social @jeffclune.com @tomssilver.bsky.social @tambetm.bsky.social @jrsrichmond.bsky.social @ryanpsullivan.bsky.social

🧭MAGELLAN autonomously discovers goal families (✊🌿🐮🦁) across 𝟐𝟓𝐤 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, performing on par with expert knowledge-augmented baselines—but 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬! 🚀

🧭MAGELLAN matches expert baselines in estimating competence over tens of thousands of goals but with 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 & 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫! Unlike other methods, it efficiently tracks competence transfer across large goal spaces

We studied 4 scientific questions:
Q1 How does 🧭MAGELLAN's competence estimation compare to classical approaches?
Q2 Can it be used to build an efficient curriculum?
Q3 Can it generalize on unseen goals?
Q4 Can it adapt to an evolving goal space?
Let's dive in! 👇

By capturing semantic relationships between goals, 🧭MAGELLAN enables efficient 𝐋𝐏 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & adaptive goal prioritization—all 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭-𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬! 🔥 #CurriculumLearning

Our LLM agent uses 🧭MAGELLAN to estimate past & current competence, computing 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 (𝐀𝐋𝐏) for each goal. The agent then selects goals that maximize ALP, learning efficiently via online RL. 🚀 #ReinforcementLearning #LLM

🌍 Humans thrive in open-ended exploration, but AI struggles with infinite goal spaces. Learning progress (LP) helps, but scaling it is tough! 🧭MAGELLAN tackles this by efficiently generalising LP to goals not practice, allowing the agent to navigate large and complex domains🚢
