Behavioral Exploration: Learning to Explore via In-Context Adaptation Andrew Wagenmaker Zhiyuan Zhou Sergey Levine Abstract Developing autonomous agents that quickly explore an environment and adapt their behavior online is a canonical challenge in robotics and machine learning. While humans are able to achieve such fast online exploration and adaptation, often acquiring new information and skills in only a handful of interactions, existing algorithmic approaches tend to rely on random exploration and slow, gradient-based behavior updates. How can we endow autonomous agents with such capabilit
