The authors introduce MP-IRL, a method for measuring how much episode-specific context would help a shared reward explain demonstrated actions when recorded observations may omit information. It learns a base reward, then adds localized trajectory-level reward perturbations under a near-optimal-expert assumption. In navigation, decision-region accuracy rises from 67.9% to 99.6%; this measures potential missingness, not recovered variables or proven causes.
