From Motor Control to Team Play in Simulated Humanoid Football (2021, background): “The loss for agent w j ∈ W, with policy πθ j , is defined as: Lpriors(θ j; β1:4) := E[ ∑T t=1 DKL(πθ j (·|ht) | | ∑4 i=1 βiμ i (·|h̃ t))] (5) 11This is a consequence of the loss in Equation 4 which trains the drill priors to match the mixture distribution that arises from executing the drill expert ”
