In the past decades, we have witnessed significant progress in the domain of autonomous driving. Advanced techniques based on optimization and reinforcement learning become increasingly powerful when solving the forward problem: given designed reward/cost functions, how we should optimize them and obtain driving policies that interact with the environment safely and efficiently. Such progress has raised another equally important question: what should we optimize? Instead of manually specifying the reward functions, it is desired that we can extract what human drivers try to optimize from real traffic data and assign that to autonomous vehicles to enable more naturalistic and transparent interaction between humans and intelligent agents. To address this issue, we present an efficient sampling-based maximum-entropy inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) algorithm in this letter. Different from existing IRL …
