Research Type Experimental Experiments in the navigation and robot manipulation continuous control tasks show that DCMRL is more effective than previous meta-RL methods with more generalizable prior experience. We evaluate DCMRL in two challenging continuous robot control environments, i.e., maze navigation and kitchen manipulation, which are long-horizon and sparse-reward. The results show that DCMRL outperforms previous meta-RL methods, achieving more effective adaptation to unseen target tasks.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. Figure 1 is a method overview diagram and Figure 3 is an architecture diagram.
Open Source Code Yes Our code is available at https://github.com/hehongc/DCMRL/.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using a "task-agnostic dataset of state-action trajectories D" and evaluating in "maze navigation and kitchen manipulation" environments. While these environments are known, the paper does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, specific repository, or formal citation for the dataset D itself) for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology) needed to reproduce the data partitioning into train/validation/test sets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers like Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.x) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup No The paper does not contain specific experimental setup details (concrete hyperparameter values, training configurations, or system-level settings) in the main text. It mentions that "More details about the experimental environments and baselines are in He et al. (2023)", referring to a different paper.
