- 避免策略作弊问题,适合需要实时决策的机器人探测任务
闭环逆源定位与表征(ISLC)要求移动智能体在严格时间约束下选择测量点以定位源并推断隐含场参数。核心挑战在于信念空间目标:精确不确定性估计需昂贵的贝叶斯推断,而快速学习的信念模型会导致奖励劫持——策略利用近似误差而非真正减少不确定性。我们提出Distill-Belief,一种师生框架,将正确性与效率解耦:贝叶斯正确的粒子滤波教师维持后验分布,并提供密集的信息增益信号;紧凑的学生将后验提炼为控制用的信念统计量和停止用的不确定性证书。部署时仅使用学生,每步开销恒定。在七种场模态及两个压力测试中,Distill-Belief持续降低感知成本,提升成功率、后验收缩率与估计精度,同时缓解奖励劫持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
{Closed-loop inverse source localization and characterization (ISLC) requires a mobile agent to select measurements that localize sources and infer latent field parameters under strict time constraints.} {The core challenge lies in the belief-space objective: valid uncertainty estimation requires expensive Bayesian inference, whereas using fast learned belief model leads to reward hacking, in which the policy exploits approximation errors rather than actually reducing uncertainty.} {We propose \textbf{Distill-Belief}, a teacher--student framework that decouples correctness from efficiency. A Bayes-correct particle-filter teacher maintains the posterior and supplies a dense information-gain signal, while a compact student distills the posterior into belief statistics for control and an uncertainty certificate for stopping. At deployment, only the student is used, yielding constant per-step cost.} {Experiments on seven field modalities and two stress tests show that Distill-Belief consistently reduces sensing cost and improves success, posterior contraction, and estimation accuracy over baselines, while mitigating reward hacking.}
