Claims
Simulation results show that the proposed method improves task success rates when trained with failure data and that the proposed metric identifies failure samples that are beneficial for learning when combined with successful demonstrations.
That the post-training attention discrepancy metric reliably identifies failure samples that improve rather than degrade policy performance, without introducing selection bias or requiring task-specific tuning.
The method uses attention discrepancy metrics on latent success-failure representations to select beneficial failure data for imitation learning, raising task success rates in simulations.
