MaIL: Improving Imitation Learning with Mamba

Description

This work presents Mamba Imitation Learning (MaIL), a novel imitation learning (IL) architecture that provides an alternative to state-of-the-art (SoTA) Transformer-based policies. MaIL leverages Mamba, a state-space model designed to selectively focus on key features of the data. While Transformers are highly effective in data-rich environments due to their dense attention mechanisms, they can struggle with smaller datasets, often leading to overfitting or suboptimal representation learning.
