About this paper

Mohammed Haroon Dupty, Yong Liang Goh, Song Guo, Wee Sun Lee

The authors introduce an episode-memory penalty that gives negative intrinsic reward when an agent’s new observation exactly repeats an earlier one, while novel observations receive no bonus and task reward remains. In a single-run ALFWorld ablation, success rose from 39.1% to 57.8% and duplicate observations fell from 59.3% to 37.0%, evidence limited to this setup.
