Abstract

Learning representations from multimodal observations is difficult in reinforcement learning with limited interaction data. Multimodal Joint Predictive Representation combines multimodal latent prediction with contrastive learning across modalities, but its recursive rollout depends on earlier predictions and its pairwise alignment focuses on correspondence between modalities. We propose Improved Predictive Representation, which combines prediction from action prefixes with alignment at the observed anchor based on Contrastive Multimodal learning. At each horizon, it predicts future representations directly from the observed anchor and the corresponding sequence of actions. We evaluate two crop configurations: IPR-S with a minimum retained crop area of 10%, and IPR-H with 50%. Across five DeepMind Control Suite tasks, IPR-H achieves an average return across tasks that is 10.0% higher than the baseline with visual and depth images and 3.4% higher with visual images and position vectors. The relative performance of the two configurations varies across tasks. In Webots, both IPR configurations achieve higher mean final returns than the baseline without LiDAR, but not when LiDAR is available.
