Imitation Learning with Recurrent Neural Networks

We present a novel view that unifies two frameworks that aim to solve sequential prediction problems: learning to search (L2S) and recurrent neural networks (RNN). We point out equivalences between elements of the two frameworks. By complementing what is missing from one framework comparing to the other, we introduce a more advanced imitation learning framework that, on one hand, augments L2S s notion of search space and, on the other hand, enhances RNNs training procedure to be more robust to compounding errors arising from training on highly correlated examples.
